Abstract
When transport is analysed for its safe delivery the focus is mainly on assessing the safety of roads and the risk of undesired events. These include road accidents, an occurrence which is relatively rare and random. Randomness means that accidents depend on several factors which are partly deterministic (can be controlled) and partly stochastic (random and unpredictable). The set of crash contributing factors can be classified by time (before, during, after the accident) and source (man, road, vehicle, environment – weather conditions, enforcement, etc.). The authors conducted an assessment of how weather conditions affect the risk of an accident due to the factor’s significant contribution to road accidents (33% of all fatalities on Polish roads happened on wet road surfaces). This case involves a combination of two sources of hazard: external conditions in the form of the weather which are beyond the driver’s control and anthropotechnical factors that address vehicle condition and driver behaviour controlled by the driver.
