Component 1: Safe System Signaling Modernization. Modernizing the signaling system along the railway corridor Alexandria -Nag Hammadi consisting of: (a) an automatic block signaling system (on an open line); (b) electronic interlocking systems (in stations); (c) a level-crossing protection system, (d) installation of additional automatic train control wayside equipment as needed, and execution of track upgrades necessary for achieving the safe functionality of new signaling system.This component will have three sub-components: 1.1: Cairo -Giza βBeni Suef signaling system modernization; 1.2: ENRRP rollover of pending signaling upgrades;and 1.3: Rollover of ENRRP permanent way upgrade: financed by ENR funds.29.Component 2: Safe System Asset Management Improvement. Implementation at the ENR of a Safety and Asset Management System builds upon the existing systems at ENR. The Safety Management System (SMS) aims to create a data collection and analysis system that will enable statistics and reports to inform management of areas that need attention.Deployment of an Asset Management System enables a strategic approach to managing the railway assets. The approach challenges railway managers to optimize output, by achieving the most appropriate trade-offs between competing factors such as performance, cost and safety. This system will build on systems already in place at ENR by adding modules and analytical features. Design and implementation of a robust Safety Management System at ENR will lead to a zero harm/tolerance, safety first culture. This component will also address some of the safety concerns of female rail users by adopting a range of measures related to infrastructure and service design at stations. Safety improvement works at stations, tracks, crossroads, and on locomotives will address a number of safety issues which can be readily identified. Safety issues will be addressed using a set of standard solutions under a safe systems approach.
