Risks connected with railway transport: sociological-psychological point of view

Olga Becherová

Abstract


The article brings a completely unconventional view of the issue of examining causes of the worst railway disasters in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as marginally in the world. The author is trying to find an answer to the question: “If the individual overviews of emergency events are analyzed, do the results relating to the cause of these emergency events differ?”


Keywords


railway transport, risk, railway disasters.
