The Method of the Evaluation of Transport Systems Operation Safety
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2013, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Transport safety is the primary standard in the functioning of transport systems. Most of all, it is true in the case of passenger transport systems. This article introduces classification of transport systems into land transport systems (road and rail) as well as land and water transport systems (inland and sea), depending on the type of environment in which these systems carry out their tasks. Such systems fall under the class of social engineering systems of the Man – Technological Object – Environment (M – TO – E) type. Such systems are influenced by forcing factors, leading to changes in their states. Such factors may be divided into operational, outside and anthropotechnical and they influence the system on various levels, including degradation of the degree of its safety. The article attempts to evaluate the safety of the operation of transport systems on the basis of the evaluation of the safety of the transport process carried out over a defined time interval Δt. The evaluation of the safety of the carried out transport process was prepared on the basis of a set of calculated index values determined depending on the type of transport. The article presents the principles of the construction of the model of evaluation of the safety of the operation of the transport system on the basis of the evaluation of the safety of the transport process carried out by the system.
