【 摘 要 】

SPAD i.e. "Signal Passed At Danger" is defined as an event when a train passes a signal at danger (stop) without any authority. It is a frightening event for any Railway system in view of its potential disastrous outcome. Every railway system in the globe advanced and not so advanced are extremely concerned about this safety risk. Hence there is a need to manage the risk. As present reasons for SPAD, has not been a guarantee for its non occurrence, it is essential to relook at the entire gambit of issues related to SPAD with use of scientific model (MODEL FOR ASSESSING AND REDUCING SPAD) MARS to gather further in depth and true knowledge on the issue so essential for any future strategies of SPAD reduction and mitigation. Indian Railways also grapple with the perennial vulnerability of their system from SPAD.
