Weighting Method Which Reflects Risk Cognition of Railway Users

Abstract

We executed the social investigation in order to grasp risk cognition of users with regard to railway accidents and transportation disturbances. Based on the result of investigation, we constructed a "Risk cognition model of railway users" which consists of two factors. The first factor shows proximity of risk cognition, and another factor shows level of fear of risk cognition. Based on this model, we have developed a weighting method which reflects risk cognition of railway users.
