Benchmarking on railway safety performance using Bayesian inference, decision tree and petri-net techniques based on long-term accidental data sets

•This the world's first to establish a probabilistic Bayesian model for railway operations.•Model verifications against the long-term FRA's data exhibit excellent accuracy >95%.•Both of decision tree and Petri-nets models are embedded for risk assessment.•Both DT and PT models can be pr...
