Description

We are looking for a supplier to edit existing footage captured by such camera systems showing the platform-train interface as the train departs. A safety incident for viewers to identify must be edited into the footage. It would be best to present drivers with a range of targets, presenting different challenges such as adults, children, pushchairs and wheelchairs. Such safety incidents could be:
• an individual being trapped in the doors;
• someone approaching and touching the train;
• a person falling between the platform and the moving train.

We do not have existing footage of safety incidents occurring due to its sensitivity and the rarity of these sorts of incidents. Therefore, the images would need to be created and added into the footage. If this is not possible, alternative targets for participants to identify that could be edited into the footage would be considered.

We aim to present 12 images to drivers to replicate a 12-car train with a camera mounted on each train car. Images would show sequential views of the platform-train interface along the length of the train. If we are only able to source footage from shorter trains, images will need to be replicated or created to construct a view similar to a 12-car train.

There will be 60 scenarios shown to participants in total, with the number of events occurring illustrated below in Table 1. As such, we will require 30 different PTI events or hazards to identify to be edited into footage, with clips lasting a maximum of 2 minutes each. To measure the influence of the trains speed on drivers' performance 20 clips will be shown to drivers at 3 different speeds.

Due to the nature of the footage, it cannot be shared with third parties at this stage - therefore supplies are invited to visit RSSB where they can view the footage to understand the final output required. Suppliers day is due to be held November 29th from 10am-12 noon to enable potential suppliers to view the video footage to be edited.

Should you want to attend this please email confirmation of your attendance to :

Shareditt@rssb.co.uk by 5pm on Monday November 28th
The edited footage would need to be delivered by end of February 2017.
