Research of Undocumented Injuries of Passengers in Buses for City Transport

Abstract

Today, buses for public transport are used by a large number of people around the world. Passenger safety is one of the primary goals that needs to be provided. In this regard, the design of the interior of buses is one of the primary factors which affects the safety of passengers. In addition, passenger injuries are one of the basic indicators of bus safety. However, when it comes to injuries of passengers on buses for urban transport, the conclusions about safety are primarily based on documented injuries in some of the official institutions, such as for example hospitals. The basic assumption in this paper is that there are also undocumented passenger injuries, which may indicate some failure in the design of the bus. This paper presents a research related to undocumented passenger injuries in city buses.
