臺北市大型車肇事探討與防制對策

The Analysis of Cause Exploration and Prevention Strategies on Large Vehicle Crashes in Taipei City

大型車車側長易擦撞他車、有視覺死角、內輪差大、噸位重，稍壓及即後果嚴重。本文就對大型車駕駛、機車騎士、公車乘客及行人之危險行為、違規停車佔用道路之潛在危害、轉彎半徑不足路口之內輪差、及公車路線班次密度高、進出路邊公車停靠區與行駛外側車道之機車交織進行探討。為了解大型車行車安全問題，故由「人」、「車」、「路」進行分析肇事原因，研擬防制對策。歷年統計顯示九成以上交通事故因人為疏失造成；正本清源之道仍在使民眾有駕駛道德，建立用路人「善盡注意義務」、「禮讓他人」之觀念。

Large vehicles have such transport characteristics as long vehicle sides prone to occur sideswipe collisions, large blind spots, large range of difference of radius between inner wheels, large tonnage, severe consequences resulted from low-impact crashes. This paper explores such issues as dangerous behaviors performed by large vehicle drivers, motorbike riders, bus passengers and pedestrians, hazards caused by illegal parking vehicles occupying roadways, inadequate corner radii, and weaving maneuvers occurring when motorbikes travelling on the outside lanes encountering bus frequently entering and leaving curbside stops, with multiple bus routes and high frequency services. In order to understand large vehicle driving safety issues, our cases focus on three factors---human, vehicles and roads--- to analyze crash causation and develop accident prevention strategies. Statistics for years show that car accidents caused by negligence account for over ninety percent of the motor vehicle crashes. A thorough solution to these problems is to enhance road users the concepts of moral-code aspects of driving,“using due care”and“giving way to others”.
