Executive summary
The Bavarian train crash was a result of safety breach, which led to the death and injury
of many people. Investigations were carried out and it showed that the negligence of the
dispatcher was one of the safety breaches where they were not being able to identify the
movements of trains in the same line by the other railway executives, which might have stopped
the incident. The person was found to be playing with games on mobile phones, due to which, he
missed the scope of informing the train drivers that the trains were allowed to move in the same
time simultaneously. Before providing any emergency responses, the trains collided with each
other and resulted in injuries and deaths to many. Necessary support were provided and
implementation of laws, policies and rules regarding safety helped in overcoming the entire
situation slowly and new rules were integrated to maintain safety measures and keep the
passengers safe along with the railway tracks to prevent transportation delay in the future.
