Working packages of the study – mandated with effect of 11.04.13 only WP 1 UIP topical committee „ economic evaluation “ has mandated hwh with effect of 11.04.2013 to WP1 fullfill a feasibilty study “ accident statistics ” (WP 1) in order to analyse, whether statistical information regarding deaths and casualties caused by technical failures wagon and truck is √ available for EU-countries for 2003 until 2012. If statistical information is available in quantity and especially high quality the amount of WP2 deaths and casualties in rail freight and truck traffic shall be compared by tkm and/or km √ Interviews with selected IWK‘s will be carried out in order to receive more information about WP3 accident data as well as information about the mileage of wagons Interviews with selected wagon keepers from national railways in order to receive more WP4 information about accident data as well as information about the mileage of wagons 3

A lot of statistical information about accidents in EU-27 is available – but not for technical failures of trucks or wagons (1) Quelle Bemerkungen AUT Getoetete_nach_unfallart_und_personenkategorie_a uf_dem_oesterr._schienenve_2011 Angaben über Getötete bei Schienenunfällen, ohne Unterscheidung nach PV und GV AUT Schwere_schienenverkehrsunfaelle_nach_art_der_un faelle_auf_dem_oesterr2011 Angaben über Art der Unfälle im Schienenverkehr Angaben über Getötete bei Schienenunfällen und Angaben über Unfallart ohne Unterscheidung nach PV und GV AUT Vorfallstatistik_2011 Übersicht aller Toten ohne Unterscheidung nach GV und PV, Eurostat Zahlen für EU-27 verfügbar CH BAV Publikation Verkehrsunfälle in der Schweiz 2011 Überblick Unfälle, Getötete über alle Verkehrsarten ohne Unterscheidung PV und GV CH BAV Unfallstatistik alle Verkehrsträger Überblick Unfälle, Getötete über alle Verkehrsarten ohne Unterscheidung PV und GV CH BAV Unfallstatistik Eisenbahn Überblick Unfälle, Getötete im SV ohne Unterscheidung PV und GV CH BAV_Sicherheitsbericht_2011_D Zahlen inkl.

Especially no differentiation between technical failures and other causes for accidents 5

All kind of information about accidents in rail and road are available but mostly without further differentiation  Only passengers killed  No rail freight  Causation of accident not known  All kind of road traffic  Causation of accident not known Source: EC Statistical Pocket Book, Transport in figures 2012 6

The amount of deaths caused by accidents with trucks involved is available until 2009 Amount of deaths – Truck traffic EU 27 without Bulgaria and Latvia Source: European Road Safety Oberservatory – Traffic Safety Basis Facts 2011 - DaCoTA 7

The amount of deaths caused by accidents with rail is also available EU Statistics 2011 for railway accidents in EU-27 No differentiation between freight and passenger trains No differentiation between causes of accidents Source: Eurostat 2011 8

Finally a data base for railway accidents with differentiation between the causations of accidents has been found Source: http://erail.era.europa.eu/investigations.aspx 10

It is assumed that appr. 5% of all truck accidents are caused by technical failures* Main causes for truck accidents  The International Road Transport Union (IRU) has executed the scientif study „ETAC“ – European Truck Accident Causation in 2007 5,1% 4,4%  Human Factors Appr. 624 accidents with truck involved have 5,3% been examined in detail Technical  In 5,3% of all cases the cause of the accident Failure lies in technical failure of the truck (brakes, Infrastructure steering, tires ,….) Condition  Weather On European level there exist no statistcs about 85,2% Condition accidents of trucks because of technical failures  For further comparisons between road and rail it is assumed, that 5% of all truck accidents happen because of technical failure *Source: ETAC European Truck Accident Causation, IRU (2007), 14

In Germany statistics for truck accidents because of technical failures are available for single years Technical Failures Truck Accidents Fatalitites and injured persons all truck 2011 in Germany accidents 2011 in Germany Technical Failure Fatalities Injured All Truck accidents Fatalities Injured Persons Persons Total 212 2.930 Electric lighting - 20 Tires 1 172 Brakes 2 63 Steering 1 17 Share of fatalities caused by technical failure: 2,3% Towing device - 18 Others 1 86 Share of injured persons Total 5 376 caused by technical failure: 12,8% The german truck accident statistics 2011 shows, that the chosen causation rate for technical failures (5%) is not really an exact figure but solely an assumption, based on a scientific study.
