Abstract: There are presently two problems in the safety risk assessment of subway trains operation systems, which are less consideration of the expert behavior preference and understanding partially the weights of risk factors.Secondly a method of risk assessment based on both PT and FMEA was worked out,consisting of four steps.The ranges of risk factor weights were determined by the expert team based on experience and historical data. A model was built by using the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution for the risk factors weight optimization. Thirdly, the evaluation matrix was transformed into the prospect value matrix by the prospect theory. Lastly, the PROMETHEE was used to sort the failure mode risks. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method were verified by the case of assessment of risk that a metro train stops abnormally in a certain city. The results show that the top three of the non normal stopping modes of the metro train are the emergency, foreign body intrusion, people's interference, which conforms with the reality.

Key words: prospect theory(PT), failure modes and effect analysis(FMEA), non-normal parking, metro, risk assessment, preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations(PROMETHEE)
