Signals Passed at Danger

As the potential outcomes associated with individual SPADs can differ considerably, the change in the number of SPADs is not necessarily a good indicator of the change in the risk associated with SPADs. For this reason, RSSB developed the SPAD risk ranking tool (SRRT), which estimates the risk associated with SPADs. The SRRT is used to assess progress against the RGSP objective relating to SPAD risk.
