Human Factor Analysis of General Accidents in Railway Passenger Transportation

Abstract:

In recent years, with the development of modern technologies and safety science, catastrophic accidents tend to be avoided successfully. However, general accidents which cause minor loss or casualties still occur occasionally and hence become main part of all accidents. Therefore, to make effective control of general accidents, fault trees are established based on the analysis of historical general accidents. The influencing factors are roughly divided into human factors and equipment system factors. This paper focuses on human factors and the relationships between the factors and general accidents are analyzed using the improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and methods of risk identification. The importance of the factors is thus evaluated. Results of the evaluation are helpful to management.
