PROBLEMS IN RAILWAY ACCIDENTS ANALYSIS AND SAFETY ASSESSMENT INDICES
Railway accidents happen as a product of complicated factors involving humans, facilities and environments. It would provide effective information so that safety administration would have an overall and quantitative command of the relationships between these factors and accident happenings and assess the safety (or hazard) degree, but this is troublesome because of ambiguity and complexity. With a view to establishing a safety management system to prevent accidents at the early stage, problems of accident analysis, a systems approach as well as line level safety indices by probability theory and multivariate analysis: corrected accident rates, risk, and potential risk are described. This method and a large volume of accident data (including incident data) are put together to make a database system.
