Assessing the Risk of Bus Crashes in Transit Systems

Abstract: Although public transport buses may be considered a safe transportation mode, bus safety is a crucial issue from the perspectives of operators, passengers and local authorities owing to the relevant implications it generates. Therefore, assessing the risk of crashes on bus routes may help improve the safety performance of transit operators. Much research has identified patterns of bus crashes to understand the effects of many factors on the frequency and the severity of them. Conversely, to the best of our kno… Show more

“…The KPIs considered are the following: Road accident rate is evaluated first as it returns an assessment of the road accident occurrence against an exposure measure (i.e., the traffic flow) [14]. Social Cost Index are appointed as second, being an estimate of the economic damage suffered by the community as a result of road accidents [15]. It can be simply computed by multiplying the number of deaths, injuries and accidents by the related average cost.…”

“…For instance, an adjusted accident cost rate index was computed in this framework, which disregards the non-linear relationship that exists between crash occurrence and traffic volume. Nevertheless, a bivariate (frequency and severity) risk crash model with all available road factors and exposure factors will be formulated and developed, to provide a more refined crash risk indicator as it has been done in public transport, e.g., [46][47][48]. Second, the overall structure and the path definition can be further improved to account for different data sources and attributes to be included in the evaluation.…”
