Abstract
Tractors are among the main causes of numerous accidents in public transport, as well as in agricultural production, forestry, and construction. Between 2014 and 2024, a total of 150,794 accidents occurred in public transport in the Republic of Serbia, resulting in 214,285 injuries and 5,986 fatalities-an average of 544 deaths per year. During the analyzed period, tractors were involved in 4,400 road accidents, including 418 fatal ones, which corresponds to an average of 29 deaths per year. Tractor-related accidents also caused 1912 serious and minor injuries, averaging 174 annually. When examined by month, tractor accidents in public transport most frequently occurred in September, while Saturdays were identified as the most accident-prone day of the week. In 2014, tractors were involved in 620 road accidents, including 37 fatal ones. By 2024, the number of tractor-related accidents had significantly decreased to 418, with 19 fatalities. The main causes of accidents involving tractors in public transport in the Republic of Serbia include: • Non-compliance with the Law on Public Transport, • Insufficient and discontinuous training of tractor operators, • Improper technical and operational use of tractors, and • Alcohol abuse. Overall, the safety of tractor use in public transport in the Republic of Serbia remains unsatisfactory.
