Abstract

The Institute of Transport Economics is conducting a project on perceived risk on various transport modes within the research program Risk and safety in the transport sector (RISIT), funded by the Research Council of Norway. In order to provide a sound theoretical and scientific basis for generating specific research questions, sub-projects, and surveys, relevant research literature within the field is reviewed in the present report. First, the dominating lines of research within the risk perception literature is presented, followed by new trends in the field, with a specific emphasis on risk perception in transport. Finally, the operationalisations of risk within empirical studies and challenges related to such operationalisations are discussed. (Author/publisher)
