A Study on the Risk Assessment Indices and Safety Management Method for Railway Crossing

摘要

Railway crossing are the weakest point in the railway system. In spite of various countermeasures taken most of fatal operational accidents have occurred. Therefore high priority is given to safety countermeasures. In an approach to safety problem from information science, the author has aimed to establish a mathematical model for analyzing complexed relation between accident and factors such as locality, transportation environment, crossing structure etc. and apply the model to safety management method.
