Analysis of Gdańsk’s tram network statistics shows that incidents are quite frequent (about 650 within 5 years) and mostly involve collisions and crashes. As well as reducing the tram systems’ efficiency and reliability, incidents have a nega-tive effect on road safety. As Polish cities extend their tram networks, they must also ensure that their existing networks are safe. This is to be achieved by conducting safety assessments. The article presents different assessment methods, at different stages of tram infrastructure lifecycle providing a basis for a comprehensive diagnosis and recommendations for improve-ment. The objective of the study was to conduct a comprehensive safety assessment and analysis of the existing and planned tram network across Gdańsk, using different study methods and tools. One of the tools was safety inspection of tram infra-structure involving technical diagnosis and road safety. The aim was to identify hazards and their sources which may con-tribute to tram accidents. The next tool was safety audit of design documentation to identify hazards in the planning, concept and detailed design. The study included a detailed diagnosis of tram accidents and an analysis of the causes and circum-stances of the incidents. Tram drivers were surveyed to identify sites that may be potentially hazardous and to understand the causes as seen by the drivers. A technique for analysing conflicts between trams and other road users was also very helpful. This helped to identify dangerous behaviour at selected sites. Risk analysis for potential high risk locations was carried out (e.g. for significant gradients of tramways).
