UIP topical committee „economic evaluation“ has mandated hwh with effect of 11.04.2013 to 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.

WP1 WP2 WP3 WP4

If statistical information is available in quantity and especially high quality the amount of 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 accident data as well as information about the mileage of wagons Interviews with selected wagon keepers from national railways in order to receive more information about accident data as well as information about the mileage of wagons

A lot of statistical information about accidents in EU-27 is available – but not for technical failures of trucks or wagons (1)

A lot of statistical information about accidents in EU-27 is available – but not for technical failures of trucks or wagons (2)

But usually no differentiation between passenger and freight traffic. Especially no differentiation between technical failures and other causes for accidents Also research in the national railway agencies databases

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

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

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

Finally a data base for railway accidents with differentiation between the causations of accidents has been found

With three statistics the foundation is laid for further comparisons of accidents between rail and truck

• Only truck accidents (all causations)
• Only deaths, number of casualties not

available on EU-level

Human Factors Technical Failure Infrastructure Condition Weather Condition Main causes for truck accidents

• The International Road Transport Union (IRU)

has executed the scientif study „ETAC“ – European Truck Accident Causation in 2007

• Appr. 624 accidents with truck involved have

been examined in detail

• In 5,3% of all cases the cause of the accident

lies in technical failure of the truck (brakes, steering, tires,….)

• On European level there exist no statistcs about

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

15

In Germany statistics for truck accidents because of technical failures are available for single years

Working packages

Completed

WP1 WP2 WP3 WP4

• Further validation of the collected data
• Research of statistics for mileage of wagon and trucks (truck mileage available on

EU-level)

• Report

Interviews with selected IWK‘s (5 IWK‘s each for small, medium and large IWK‘s) in order to find out more information about the average mileage of different wagon types Interviews with selected wagon keepers from national railways in order to receive more information about accident data as well as information about the mileage of wagons
