Predictive Models from Accident Reports

چکیده
There has been an enormous amount of resources spent on collecting data related to construction accidents but there are very few researches done on analyzing the collected data beyond trend analysis. This research is based on the premise that construction accident reports can be exploited much more than they currently are to obtain valuable information. Analyzing texts in accident reports in addition to coded data provides far more information than merely analyzing coded data. By analyzing and understanding what is in the accident report database yields useful knowledge. Passing this knowledge onto others can improve an understanding of what went wrong with incidents from the past thereby greatly enabling the prevention of future accidents. This accident prediction model proposed in this paper relies on the vast amount of information available in the accident report summaries kept by OSHA, and text mining of such textual summaries will unveil the variables and their relationships that may not be evident through structured data.

Released radioactive materials from a nuclear power plant due to an accident can be transported to far regions by wind. Some models are available to predict the dispersion. This article reports some parts of the results of a research in which using one of the models, named HYSPLIT, to predict the dispersion of some isotopes of iodine and cesium released from ten nuclear power plant to the atmos...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Dynamic Modulus Predictive Models for Asphalt Mixtures
Dynamic modulus characterizes the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt materials and is the most important input parameter for design and rehabilitation of flexible pavements using Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Laboratory determination of dynamic modulus is very expensive and time consuming. To overcome this challenge, several predictive models were developed to determine dyn...

Pavement rehabilitation could affect the accident severity index (ASI) since restoration measures means more safety for road users. No research or project has been carried out to identify hazard points to build a linear model based on crash severity index. One of the very popular accident severity index models used in all countries is based on linear models to rehabilitate pavements and this pa...

Introduction: Construction phase in industries is a dynamic process that is naturally and intrinsically dangerous and as it becomes more complicated, the accidents rate also increases. One should note that without considering a model, one could not obtain useful and reliable information and method to prevent accidents. Therefore, to achieve useful methods for preventing accidents, it is desirab...
