© 2025 Elsevier LtdTraditional cruising taxis and app-based ride-hailing services are a critical component of urban passenger transportation, offering flexible and personalized travel options. In the sharing economy era, the advent of ride-hailing platforms has not only significantly improved mobility convenience but also introduced additional concerns for urban traffic safety management. With the aim of developing a comprehensive understanding of current research patterns and emerging directions in taxi safety analysis and crash prevention, a systematic review of 654 publications was conducted from the Web of Science, Scopus, and TRID databases. Using bibliometric analysis and knowledge domain mapping techniques, two distinct developmental phases were identified in this research area, namely an early phase of foundational inquiry followed by one of expansion and diversification. The analysis highlighted three prominent thematic clusters: (i) ride-hailing usage and related safety considerations, (ii) crash injury analysis and safety assessment, and (iii) occupational health, risky driving behavior, and crash risk determinants. In addition to mapping existing research patterns, this review identifies gaps in data sources, methodological approaches, and research directions. From the gaps, this review offers recommendations for future research that can support researchers and policymakers seeking to develop evidence-based strategies for improving safety management and crash prevention in the global taxi industry.
