“…Element/defect i is along more than two-thirds of section length Given the above procedures, it is possible to simulate values of BIR s and define appropriate classes of risk. To this end, the authors considered six probabilistic classes of risk level, as usually done for transport infrastructure risk assessment [47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. The definition of ranges for each class requires a significant number of monitored branches.…”

Attention to the most vulnerable road users has grown rapidly over recent decades. The experience gained reveals an important number of fatalities due to accidents in urban branch roads. In this study, an analytical methodology for the calculation of urban branch road safety is proposed. The proposal relies on data collected during road safety inspections; therefore, it can be implemented even when historical data about traffic volume or accidents are not available. It permits us to identify geometric, physical, functional, and transport-related defects, and elements which are causal factors of road accidents, in order to assess the risk of death or serious injuries for users. Traffic volume, average speed, and expected consequences on vulnerable road users in case of an accident allow us to calculate both the level of danger of each homogeneous section which composes the road, and the hazard index of the overall branch. A case study is presented to implement the proposed methodology. The strategy proposed by the authors could have a significant impact on the risk management of urban roads, and could be used in decision-making processes to design safer roads and improve the safety of existing roads.

“…Nowadays, different methods and tools are used in aviation safety risks analysis: statistical analysis, trend analysis, normative comparisons, simulation and testing, expert panel, costbenefit analysis (Čokorilo and Dell'Acqua, 2013;Čokorilo et al, 2014;Ericson, 2016). Other authors (Moretti et al, 2018) address a methodology to assess the probability of a veer-off accident at any airport, based on statistical data collected throughout the world on previous events. It defines a method which can be implemented in order to manage risks, by taking into account the runway devices which are available during the operations.…”

Abstract:The importance to airport safety related events has grown significantly in recent years. Runway safety events continue to pose a real and genuine challenge to the aviation community. This article addresses how could an acceptable risk for accidents or runways be achieved. It considers what would be an objective method to establish if and which mitigations are necessary. Global estimations show that runway related accidents and incidents, cost the aviation industry an average of $500 Million per month. Therefore, a cost-benefit system analysis has the potential to greatly reduce these worldwide costs. It is also an excellent indicator for which subjects, areas and operators to address. The results highlight that present runway safety priorities need to be altered in order to stay / become effective. Obtained conclusions would be a great platform for new risk mitigation and / or reduction safety measures development regarding runway events.

“…Several factors contribute to a RE accident, the most important of which are weather, pilot, airport, and aircraft [ 19 , 21 ]. Depending on the exit area of the runway, RE accidents are divided into two groups [ 22 , 23 ]: Veer-Off (VO) and Over-Run (OR). In this paper, two types of RE accidents have been considered by the authors: Landing Overrun (LDOR) and Landing Veer-off (LDVO).…”

The exponential increase in aviation activity and air traffic in recent decades has raised several public health issues. One of the critical public health concerns is runway safety and the increasing demand for airports without accidents. In addition to threatening human lives, runway accidents are often associated with severe environmental and pollution consequences. In this study, a three-step approach is used for runway risk assessment considering probability, location, and consequences of accidents through advanced statistical methods. This study proposes novel models for the implementation of these three steps in Iran. Data on runway excursion accidents were collected from several countries with similar air accident rates. The proposed models empower engineers to advance an accurate assessment of the accident probability and safety assessment of airports. For in-service airports, it is possible to assess existing runways to remove obstacles close to runways if necessary. Also, the proposed models can be used for preliminary evaluations of developing existing airports and the construction of new runways.
