ACCIDENT STUDY UPDATED

摘要

Prof andrew Evans has updated his annual paper'Fatal train accidents on Britain's main line railways'to the end of 2013. The paper updates the author's previous statistical analyses of fatal train accidents on running lines of the national railway system of Great Britain to the end of 2013, based on fatal accident data over the 47-year period 1967 to 2013. There were no fatal train collisions, derailments or overruns in 2013 for the sixth consecutive calendar year. He says that continuing good performance contributes to a further reduction in the estimated mean frequency of such accidents from 0.34 per year in 2012 to 0.31 in 2013.
