Introduction1. Executive summaryThis document provides an overview of tram incident statistics for Victoria up to the end of the calendar year 2017. The performance shown in this document should be considered against a background of increased patronage and tram travel distance.

Over the past five years, metropolitan tram patronage has increased by seven per cent over the period between 2013 and 2017, with 177.2 million passenger journeys in 2013 and 189.7 million passenger journeys in 20171.

Table 1 - Metropolitan tram passenger journeys in millions

Data 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017Passenger journeys 177.2 181.9 185.3 187.9 189.7Yearly variance 2.6% 1.9% 1.4% 1%

The total travelled kilometres by metropolitan trams have increased by 7.3 per cent between 2013 and 2017, with 25 million km travelled in 2013 and 26.9 million km travelled in 20171.

Table 2 - Travelled kilometres by metropolitan trams in millions

Data 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017Travelled kilometers 25.0 25.8 25.4 26.4 26.9Yearly variance 2.9% -1.6% 4.2% 1.7%

Where information is available, trends are typically shown using average numbers over the preceding five years. For example, the five year moving average figure for 2013 is the average of values for the years 2009 to 2013, while the moving average figure for 2014 is the average of values for the years 2010 to 2014.

There were over 1,930 incidents reported by tram operators to Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) in 2017. The key points shown by the 2017 tram incident statistics are provided below.

No fatalities involving trams were reported by tram operators in the past three years. The number of reported serious injuries in 2017 was lower than in 2016. There were 67 serious

injuries in 2017 and 69 in 2016. Of those 67 serious injuries in 2017, 33 were the result of passenger slips, trips or falls.

Passengers aged between 65 and 98 were involved in 24 of those incidents, representing 73 per cent of those serious injuries.

The number of running line derailments, collisions between trams and fires on trams are at their lowest for the past five years.

The number of collisions with persons, collisions with road vehicles and slips, trips or falls are at their highest for the past five years.

The number of reported slips, trips or falls on trams continues to increase. The 2017 increase is 34 per cent compared with 2016 and equates to an increase of 140% over the past five years.

There was a two per cent increase in the number of reported collisions with road vehicles from 962 in 2016 to 977 in 2017.

1 Data as reported by KDR Victoria Pty Ltd (Yarra Trams) to Transport Safety Victoria under Regulation 46 of the RSLOASR.

TSV is working with KDR Victoria Pty Ltd (KDR), trading as Yarra Trams, to investigate the increased incidence of serious injuries being reported. The increase appears to be primarily a result of passenger slips, trips and falls for both on trams and at the platform-tram interface. These incidents and their prevention are addressed monthly in safety meetings between TSV and KDR. KDR is currently examining a range of measures including engineering changes to trams acceleration and braking, revised driver training, driver visual display upgrades and incident hot spot location assessments.

2. Reporting requirements in VictoriaTram operators and a number of tourist and heritage operators are required to report rail incidents to TSV in accordance with the requirements of the Rail Safety (Local Operations) Act 2006 (Vic) (RSLOA) and Rail Safety (Local Operations) (Accreditation and Safety) Regulations 2017 (Vic) (RSLOASR).

TSV uses the data it collects from rail operators to monitor trends and safety risks across the Victorian transport network.

It is important to note that tram operators (including metropolitan, regional and tourist and heritage operators) are rail operators under the RSLOA.

3. Changes to informationThe information contained in this report is the intellectual property of TSV and is year-to-date (YTD) December 2017. It is sourced from its Occurrence Database, which stores data as reported to TSV by rail operators, as at 16 February 2018. The information might be adjusted to reflect new information that comes to light at any time without prior notice. Consequently, minor variations may exist when compared with previous publications.

Variations in information from year to year are evident in this report. Improvements in safety are generally expected to occur over time as enhancements are made to systems. Low frequency - high consequence events, such as those occasionally experienced in the transport industry, and changes to transport demand, such as increasing patronage, can also result in variations in the information.

4. DefinitionsRailway accident or incident as defined in the RSLOASR:

an accident or incident on railway premises that results ino the death of a persono a person requiring immediate treatment as an in-patient in a hospital

a running line derailment of any unit of rolling stock a collision between any rolling stock and any person a collision between any rolling stock and any other vehicle, infrastructure, obstruction or object

which resulted in significant property damage an implosion, explosion, fire or other occurrence which resulted in significant property damage a notifiable accident or incident.

Notifiable circumstance as defined in the RSLOASR means a circumstance, act or omission that resulted, or had the potential to result, in the death or serious injury to any person, or significant damage to property. The definition includes:

any defect in, or failure of, any part of the rail infrastructure any defect in, or failure of, any rolling stock or part of any rolling stock any failure or breach of any rail operations practice, procedure or rule

5

any other circumstance, act or omission that the Safety Director has specified under regulation 42(2) to be a notifiable circumstance.

TSV uses the Guideline for the Top Event Classification of Notifiable Occurrences as a resource when classifying rail incidents (Occurrence Classification-Guideline One (OC-G1)).

4.1. Serious injuryDefined in the RSLOASR as “a person requiring immediate treatment as an in-patient in a hospital”.

4.2. Person type A passenger is a person travelling or intending to travel. A public is any other person affected by a railway occurrence. A trespasser is a person on railway premises who, whether intentionally or negligently, is in a

place they have no right or authority to be or for the purpose of carrying out unauthorised activities.

4.3. CollisionWhen a tram strikes another tram, obstruction, person or other object or is struck by another object.

4.4. DerailmentWhen one or more tram wheels leave the rail or track during railway operations.

4.5. Suspected suicide or attempted suicide Suspected suicide is any suspected suicide that takes place in or from railway property. Attempted suicide refers to any person who unsuccessfully attempts to take their own life on

railway property.

4.6. Broken rail A fracture of the rail in a running line including a broken joint or weld, or detachment of a piece

from the rail which necessitates an immediate stoppage of traffic or the immediate imposition of a speed restriction lower than that currently in force.
