“Generic” list of potential accidents

This document provides a “generic” list of potential system-level accidents (collision, derailment, fire, etc.) associated with public urban guided passenger transport systems and metre-gauge railways.

Rolling stock - description sheet template

This implementation guide explains the main technical and performance characteristics of the rolling stock that must be included in the safety files using a description sheet template.

Globally at least equivalent principle (GAME principle)

This guide provides a methodology for demonstrating the “GAME” principle outlined in the “STPG” Decree on the safety of guided public transport.

The last version of the guide (version 3) takes into account “STPG” Decree no. 2017-440 with the addition of consideration of standards of practices and feedback from field experience.
