Application of Multiple Criteria Decision Method to the Passenger Traffic Safety Evaluation

With the rapid development of social economy, traffic demand rises quickly; with transportation safety becoming a hot topic. Scholars often research the security of a certain transportation mode rather than a comparative study of several modes, and there is no good method to complete the analysis. Firstly, a comparative study of passenger transportation safety is put forward in this paper from four aspects, including the people, vehicles, traffic facilities, and environmental factors, including an analysis of several evaluation criteria. Then, multiple criteria decision method is applied to evaluate passenger transportation safety which includes aviation, railway, road, and water transport. Finally, after a comprehensive analysis, the evaluation of passenger transportation safety is given in this paper.
