| Summary | With the rapid advances of transportation technology and rapid growth of demand in transportation, our transportation system has grown into a huge and complicated system. An efficient safety monitoring approach is then necessary to keep the transportation system operating with a high level of safety performance. This study aims to develop a systematic approach to explore the safety issues of transportation system and evaluate their corresponding risks individually. The focus group method was first used to collect the preliminary ideas about the safety issues of transportation system, and a questionnaire was then established based on those preliminary ideas to gather the opinions about the occurrence frequency and severity for each safety issue. The risk assessment was finally applied to determine the degree of danger for each safety issue. An empirical study of the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) was conducted in this research. Some serious safety issues for TRTC are explored and several improvement suggestions are also raised in this study. |
