Statistics of deaths due to rail accidents; The thousands who die in cars each year; Speculation that the crash in Gaisal, India was due to human failure; The size of India's railroad network; The death toll per kilometer as no higher than that of European railways....
Additionally, trucks were involved in 15.8% of all fatal road transport-related accidents and 12.3% of all traffic fatalities in 2018. Rail emits about one-fifth of the GHG emissions from trucks. With IR expecting to become a net-zero carbon emitter by 2030, rail has the ability to reduce...
We also excluded publications on actual crime, accidents, or suicide rather than perceived safety. Only empirical journal articles and books, book chapters, and reports were included. Thus, conference papers or publications that had no clear publication type were excluded as well as literature ...
Out West, the classification of the existing longhaul Superliner trains is less clear; it is speculated that the City of New Orleans, Southwest Chief and Texas Eagle would likely be "Basic" Service, based on their performance statistics; the Coast Starlight, California Zephyr and Empire Builder ...
However, no major incidents have been reported in the decade since and passenger numbers have risen exponentially as the network has expanded. For anyone used to the scope of traditional railway projects, the statistics are often mind boggling. Construction of the 815-kilometer, $13.5 billion ...
When labor disputes bring cities to a standstill: the impact of public transit strikes on traffic, accidents, air pollution, and health. Am. Econ. J. Econ. Policy 9, 1–37 (2017). Guo, X., Sun, W., Yao, S. & Zheng, S. Does high-speed railway reduce air pollution along highways...
The emission of atmospheric pollutants leads to other harmful effects on the environment besides the global warming. These are illustrated in Fig.2.9. There may be pollutant emissions, accidents, hazards, ecosystem degradation through air and water pollution, animal poisoning, greenhouse gas emission, ...
The risk factors considered during the evaluation process included human accidents and deaths, emission values and noise levels leading to the conclusion that their method produced a transportation system that was more economical and environmentally acceptable. Their study, however, also had a bias ...
These defects, or technological complexity, may lead to inadequate safety protection measures during the construction process, resulting in accidents. For example, in the Guiyang-Nanning HSR project, due to insufficient assessment of the geological conditions that determine the stability of its rock ...
