Project SELCAT (Safer European Level Crossing Appraisal and Technology) is as a Co-ordination Action of the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme involving 24 partners from 10 European countries as well as from Japan, Russia, China, India and Morocco. This project coordinated by the Institute for Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig aims to collect, structure, cluster, analyse and disseminate existing world-wide research results and to stimulate new knowledge exchange in the area of level crossing safety. SELCAT intends to propose a standard for reporting level crossing accidents in European countries as well as to set up a common level crossing accident information system. Beside the organisation of specific workshops, special conference sessions, information campaigns will be one of the instruments for project result dissemination setting up a thematic Level Crossing web portal.
