Abstract

The lessons learned from each Traffic Collision (TC) will help safety practitioners to avoid similar occurrences in the future. However, few studies and methods have focused specifically on the similar features among different collisions. Thus, the development of a measurement method for investigating the best evidence on the causal factors of TCs was warranted. In this study, a similarity analysis method based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Similarity (S) theory, the AHP-S method, was constructed. This method was designed to identify the similar elements and similar units of collision scenes according to the analysis criteria and sub-criteria and further to calculate the degree of similarity between recognized similar pairs among TCs. Six TC cases were randomly selected as examples, and the degrees of similarity between cases 1 to 5 and case 6 were calculated separately. The calculation results showed that out of the five collision cases (cases 1–5), case 1 provided the best evidence for analysing the causal factors of case 6. This study promotes the development of quantitative analysis methods for collision incidents and provides an effective evidence-based method for TC avoidance.

交通避免碰撞的一种方法:测量碰撞成因的相似证据

从每宗交通意外中吸取的教训，有助安全从法者避免日后再发生类似事故。然而，很少有研究和方法专门关注不同碰撞之间的相似特征。因此，有必要开发一种测量方法，以调查有关tc因果因素的最佳证据。本研究构建了一种基于层次分析法(AHP)和相似度(S)理论的相似性分析方法，即AHP-S方法。该方法根据分析准则和子准则识别碰撞场景的相似元素和相似单元，进而计算识别出的tc间相似对之间的相似度。随机选取6例TC病例为例，分别计算病例1 ~ 5与病例6的相似度。计算结果表明，在5个碰撞案例(案例1 - 5)中，案例1为案例6的原因分析提供了最好的证据。本研究促进了碰撞事件定量分析方法的发展，为避碰提供了有效的循证方法。

期刊介绍： At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
