Risk Assessment in Transportation

Risk assessment in transportation involves identifying potential hazards—such as accidents, delays, or disruptions—and evaluating their likelihood and potential impact. The goal is to systematically analyze these risks to prioritize safety measures, improve planning, and minimize negative outcomes. It considers various factors like vehicle condition, driver behavior, route conditions, and weather. By understanding and managing these risks proactively, transportation systems can operate more safely, efficiently, and reliably, protecting lives and reducing costs.
