When transport is analysed for its safe delivery the focus is mainly on assessing the safety of roads and the risk of undesired events. These include road accidents, an occurrence which is relatively rare and random. Randomness means that accidents depend on several factors which are partly deterministic and partly. The authors conducted an assessment of how weather conditions affect the risk of an accident due to the factor’s significant contribution to road accidents. This case involves a combination of two sources of hazard: external conditions in the form of the weather which are beyond the driver’s control and anthropotechnical factors that address vehicle condition and driver behaviour controlled by the driver.

Analiza bezpieczeństwa realizacji zadań transportowych w dużej mierze koncentruje się na ocenie bezpieczeństwa dróg, w zakresie ryzyka wystąpienia zdarzeń niepożądanych. Wypadki drogowe są grupą takich zdarzeń, a ich występowanie jest stosunkowo rzadkie i losowe. Losowość oznacza, że wypadki są zależne od wielu czynników, które są częściowo deterministyczne i częściowo stochastyczne. Autorzy podjęli ocenę wpływu warunków pogodowych na ryzyko wypadków, ze względu na znaczący udział tego czynnika w wypadkach drogowych. Występuje w tym przypadku połączenie dwóch źródeł zagrożeń: czynników zewnętrznych w postaci warunków atmosferycznych, pozostających poza kontrolą kierowcy oraz czynników antropotechnicznych odnoszących się do stanu użytkowanego pojazdu oraz zachowań kierowcy, nad którymi kierowca posiada kontrolę.
