公車捷運系統(Bus Rapid Transit, BRT)為政府短期內解決台中地區長年大眾運輸問題的重點政策，BRT專用道之設置除了能夠有效提昇公車服務可靠度及服務品質外，還能降低營運成本，進而提升公車營運效率。然而，BRT專用道雖能解決公車停靠站時與慢車道機慢車產生嚴重車流交織之問題，但後續通車後也可能產生許多規劃試辦階段無法預料之問題。故本研究欲針對台中BRT探討BRT專用道設置前後，對該路段安全的影響進行探討。
首先須瞭解公車專用道之分類，並加以比較其優缺點，透過分析臺灣大道BRT專用道實施路段肇事資料，幫助瞭解BRT專用道設置前後肇事趨勢及碰撞型態之改變。透過事前事後分析，探討BRT專用道之設置是否會對肇事車種、肇事地點及肇事碰撞類型等產生影響，後續試以邏輯斯迴歸模式分析肇事資料並歸納主要肇事原因。最後依據本研究實證提出結果與建議，期望能提供政府部門參考意見，以改善臺灣大道肇事情形並協助後續BRT路網之建設。
根據本研究分析結果顯示，台中BRT專用道之設置，確實對該路段造成影響，使碰撞型態、事故特性發生改變，其中，同期中各月份事故件數皆增加，而其肇事主因多為未注意車前狀態或未保持行車安全間隔或距離，此外，碰撞型態中，以追撞類型最為顯著，政府部門應對此擬定相關策略，改善道路交通安全。

Bus Rapid Transit is the key policy of the government to solve the public transportation problem in Taichung area for many years. The setting up of BRT lanes can enhance operational efficiency of bus, because it can improve reliability and quality of bus service, and also help reducing operating costs. Though BRT lanes can solve traffic conflict of bus and motorcycle when bus want to approach the bus stop. There are still many problem cannot be expected during planning and pilot phase. Therefore, we discuss for the influences on road safety before and after the BRT lanes set up in this study.

First, we have to understand the category of bus lanes and compare their advantages and disadvantages. We will know traffic accident trends and collision patterns before and after setting up BRT lanes by analyze the accident data. Through advance postmortem analysis, We can know that if BRT lanes changed accident vehicles, location, and collision types. Next, we tried to analyze traffic accident data summarized the main cause of the accidents by Logistic Regression Model. Last, according this study, we want to provide some reference to government, helping to improve traffic accidents on Taiwan Boulevard and the building of BRT road network.

According to this research result, the setting up of Taichung BRT lanes really makes influence on Taiwan Boulevard, and it changes collision patterns and accident characteristics. In this data, the number of accident increased in every month during the same period. The main cause of the accident are mostly ‘did not pay attention to the road ahead of the vehicle’ or ‘did not keep a safety distance or spacing. Moreover, in collision patterns, rear-end collision is most notable of all. The government should set up some policy to improve traffic safety.
