Abstract

Aiming at high safety risk of expressway toll station, based on the theoretical model of accident cause, this paper makes a systematic analysis and correlation test on the unsafe state of object, personal unsafe behaviour, and the imperfection of safety management system within the jurisdiction of expressway toll stations. Through statistical analysis, the types and distribution areas of unsafe physical state, the types and main causes of unsafe behaviours within the jurisdiction of toll stations are identified. The results show that: education and training, risk management and control, hidden dangers, operating procedures, equipments and facilities management, emergency management, etc., have a great impact on the physical safety of highway toll stations; bad driving habits, trouble free mentality, poor safety awareness, lack of safety knowledge are the main reasons for unsafe behaviours. The results of the study have guiding significance for the risk management of toll station.
