Abstract: In order to effectively prevent passenger-caused metro operation accidents, with 40 typical metro operation accidents as research object, their inner mechanism and formation path were explored by employing fsQCA approach. Then, these paths, according to twelve condition configurations obtained,were classified into three types, that is weak safety awareness, lack of supervision and influence by others. The results show that avoiding passengers' intrusion into metro gauges emotionally is vital to prevent weak safety awarenss kind of accidents. Strengthening supervision of non-gauge areas, such as carriages and platforms, can effectively block path of lack of supervision accidents. Moreover, to cut off that of influence by others accidents, measures like advanced control and participatory control of passengers should be adopted to effectively expand positive influence from others.

Key words: metro operation accident, passengers, unsafe behaviors, fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), condition configuration
