It’s this level of learning that we want to gain in the UK for the bus industry. The Bus KSI Network aims to help achieve this. If you’re in the UK and you want to join the network please sign up on the Bus Centre of Excellence website.
We recently released an investigation report into a bus collision with a concrete barrier on 13 November 2022. The bus mounted the barrier and rolled over to the left, coming to a rest against the side of a drainage channel. Several passengers, including two who were ejected during the bus rollover, sustained injuries requiring medical treatment. The bus sustained significant damage. The investigation determined the driver likely experienced several factors which reduced their visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in a low light environment with limited visual cues. This impairment prevented the driver from effectively identifying the road and concrete barrier ahead, leading to a loss of situation awareness, leading the bus to be steered onto a misaligned travel path. It was also identified that the driver may have been distracted by an onboard system speed warning as the bus approached the barrier, which led to them looking down at the bus’s dashboard. This distraction removed the opportunity for the driver to recognise the imminent collision and take evasive action. The barrier involved was designed with a sloped leading/front edge, resulting in the barrier acting as a ramp when impacted by the heavy vehicle. The bus became airborne before rolling over into the adjacent drainage channel. The barrier had limited markings and reflectors reducing its visibility to drivers. The investigation also identified that the operator was unaware that the driver had a medical condition and was taking prescribed medication. This oversight resulted in a missed opportunity for the operator to assess the potential operational risks of having a driver with a diagnosed ocular disease working in low-light conditions. Had the operator known the medical risks, they could have considered control measures such as restricting night driving.

Restructuring bus networks can be carried out as an incremental process, where each part is revised in phased programme, or in a single-step, in which an entire network is recast simultaneously. Join us next week Tuesday for our webinar with Professor Peter White FCILT on changing bus networks through an incremental process versus a single-step approach, using four international case studies. https://lnkd.in/epyBRKcG

Restructuring bus networks can be carried out as an incremental process, where each part is revised in phased programme, or in a single-step, in which an entire network is recast simultaneously. Register for our upcoming webinar on 10 September, where four international case studies will be used to compare different approaches of changing bus networks, suggesting that the incremental process may incur less risk: https://lnkd.in/epyBRKcG
