Analysis And Evaluation On Economic Losses Of Road Traffic Accident

Road traffic accident not only hangs over people's life but also results in tremendous economic losses. In many developing countries, the proportion of economic losses caused by road traffic accident to GDP reaches 1 percent. And the proportion is higher in developed country. Road traffic accident not only causes large economic losses of substance but also affects social production and living quality of casualty. It is pivotal to determining road traffic accident economic losses rationally that how to quantify potential losses. Now, there is few quantified study on road traffic accident economic losses in China, so it has important theoretical meanings and practical values. On the basis of former research fruits, this paper analyzes the characteristic of road traffic accident economic losses and studies on its composing and partition, direct and indirect economic losses of road traffic accident.Firstly, this paper compares the characteristic of road traffic accident economic losses of developing and developed countries. It is discussed that temporal and spacial distribution characteristic of road traffic accident in China. The result is given that the computation of road traffic accident economic losses is unilateral in developing countries including China so that it is less than developed countries and the proportion of road traffic accident economic losses to GDP is small.Secondly, on the basis of analyzing on composing and partition approach of road traffic accident economic losses, the composing and partition mode of road traffic accident economic losses fit to our country's characteristic of road traffic accident economic losses is presented. The composing and partition of direct and indirect road traffic accident economic losses are analyzed, and the definition partition and calculation of each economic loss are given.Thirdly, it is put forward that the evaluation index system and general measurement model of direct road traffic accident economic losses. According to this model, it is analyzed and evaluated that road traffic accident direct economic loss of property and casualties. The measurement model is established of road traffic accident vehicle loss, cargo loss and traffic facilities loss. It is presented...
