Analysis of road incident costs in a selected transport system

The public urban transport system carries out its tasks within a designated territorial area of city boundaries, as well as in subordinate areas that fulfill functions analogous to city districts. The requirements placed on such systems include the safe and reliable execution of tasks 24 hours a day. Systems of this type are subject to the influence of undesirable forcing factors that contribute to the occurrence of adverse events. This paper analyzes the repair costs of vehicles operated within the analyzed system that resulted from adverse events.ANALYSIS OF COSTS OF UNDESIRABLE EVENTS OCCURRING IN A CHOSEN URBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Systems of public transport carry out their tasks on the territory of a given town and in the suburbs performing the same functions as in towns. A distinctive feature of this type of system is performance of its task for twenty four hours, in different traffic intensity conditions over an assigned administrative area. This type of variables have a large influence on occurrence of undesirable events (failure of vehicles and their devastation, collision and accidents). In the work, an attempt of identification of undesirable events occurring in the analyzed transport system has been made.
