Infrastructure in proximity of railways - External environmental monitoring and risk analysis // Infrastruktur i närheten av järnvägar - Extern miljöövervakning och riskanalys : A document and comparative analysis conducted at Trafikverket; risk analysis of infrastructure in close proximity of railways

This thesis investigates international railway safety regulations and spatial planning, with a focus on the spatial relationships between railways and adjacent roads. Employing a methodological framework rooted in comparative and document analyses, the study critically evaluates regulatory frameworks from five nations: Sweden, Canada, Norway, Germany, and China. Through the lens of Risk Assessment and Management Theories, Resilience Theory, and dynamic risk management frameworks, the research discuss how different countries approach risk identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies within their railway infrastructure. The findings highlight variations in regulatory approaches and underscore the importance of adaptability, transparency, and consideration of spatial dynamics in enhancing railway safety. By synthesising perceptions from international practices, this study contributes valuable perspectives to the ongoing discourse on optimal spatial relationships in railway infrastructure, with implications for policy development and strategic planning within the transportation sector. / Trafikverket.
