The STUVA coordinates Research Project 'inREAKT' for enhancing Security in Local Public Transport

摘要

Public commutertransportation represents the central element of the urban infrastructure. Incidents involving violence, damage to property and vandalism in buses and trains as well as at stops can lead to a situation where passengers feel uncomfortable or even avoid public transportation entirely - especially at night or when services are infrequent. However, drivers, ticket inspectors or even security staff employed by public transport companies can also become involved in critical situations.
