“…Helicopter-related risks, which account for a seemingly modest 2.5% of incidents, and migrant transportation issues, constituting a significant 12.5%, both warrant dedicated investigation due to their unique dynamics. Given their unique dynamics, dedicated studies might be insightful [27].…”

This research undertakes a focused analysis of transportation disasters in Western Asia from 2003 to 2023. Utilizing a curated dataset from the EM-DAT database, we delve into the patterns and outcomes of these significant events, categorizing by modality such as air, rail, road, and water. The results highlight a concerning surge in mishaps between 2003 and 2010, followed by a welcome decline. Road-related incidents emerge as a dominant category, but a large portion (73.8%) remains ambiguously categorized as “Unknown”, underscoring potential data gaps or reporting inconsistencies. Turkey stands out, accounting for nearly 45% of all documented incidents, emphasizing its central role in the regional transportation disaster landscape. Advanced ANOVA analyses illustrate variations in fatality rates across years and countries, although differences in injury rates across disaster types did not exhibit statistical significance. The study underscores the importance of continuous safety enhancements, public awareness efforts, and regional cooperation. Ultimately, it underscores the pressing need for strengthened safety frameworks and the value of inter-regional collaboration to uplift transportation safety standards in Western Asia.

Investigating transportation disasters in Western Asia over two decades (2003-2023), this study provides a meticulous examination of a comprehensive dataset, shedding light on the dynamics and nuances of these catastrophic events in terms of frequency, modality (air, rail, road, and water), and subsequent outcomes. The data reveals a concerning uptrend in mishaps from 2003 to 2010, which fortunately reverses into a notable decline in the subsequent years. Noteworthy is the predominance of road-related incidents, yet an alarming 73.8% of events are ambiguously categorized under "Unknown", hinting at potential gaps or inconsistencies in record-keeping. With Turkey being a significant epicenter, accounting for nearly 45% of all incidents, the regional distribution of these disasters becomes evident. Advanced ANOVA analyses discern marked variations in fatality rates over the years and between nations. However, the contrast in injury rates among different disaster categories did not achieve statistical significance. While the post-2010 era showcases a commendable reduction in calamities, the data punctuates the persistent necessity for robust safety measures, targeted public awareness campaigns, and infrastructural advancements. In synthesis, this study vehemently advocates for heightened regional collaboration and systematic knowledge dissemination as cornerstones for bolstering transportation safety across Western Asia.
