The book deals with the issue of passing a "Stop" signal, which is one of the most serious and consistently common railway incidents. Even with the progressive improvement of railway safety, the number of these incidents is rather increasing. The publication discusses SPAD (Signal Passed at Danger) research and also presents selected research activities abroad. The content of the book draws from a research project focused on identifying factors contributing to illegal movements, where a combination of several analytical methods and data sources was used. Key sources of information also include expert interviews, primarily with engine drivers and experts in signalling technology.
