RAILWAY INCIDENTS AND THE PLACE OF THEIR OCCURRENCE
Abstract
The paper focuses on updating the results of partial steps associated with the socio-economic evaluation of public projects in the field of transport, specifically railway infrastructure. The article builds on the research results presented within previous scientific articles where the unit impacts of sub-categories of occurrences on the Czech railways were determined using a detailed Database of Occurrences for the 2011-2018 period. Within the research work of the project "Evaluation of Increased Safety and Reliability of Railway Infrastructure after its Modernization or Reconstruction", this article examines the relationship between the occurrences and the place of their emergence, whether it is a wide line or a railway station. The text also includes an analysis of the impact of infrastructure modernization on occurrences. The statistical basis of the research is the Database of Occurrences provided for these purposes by the railway infrastructure manager in the Czech Republic - Railway Infrastructure Administration.
