The issue of road accidents is an increasing problem in developing countries. This could be due to increasing road traffic/vehicle occupancy. This has been increasing over years. Regulating traffic on roads is an important task. There by reducing accidents in accident prone zones. The accident was drastically increased over a decade from 4% to 31%. This is a alarming issue. The analysis and ide...

This study introduces the accident research system integrated with the medical and engineering network in Japan. Based on the collaborative study by Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI), Nippon Medical School Chiba Hokuso Hospital and ITARDA (Institute for Traffic Accident Research and Data Analysis), detailed accident data have been collected, and crash, vehicle damage, and injury data w...

Pressures and incentives to operate complex socio-technical aerospace systems in a high-risk state are ever present. Without consideration of the role humans and organizations play in system safety during the development of these systems, accidents will occur. Safe design of the ―socio‖ parts of the sociotechnical system is challenging. Even if the system, including the human and organizational...

Analysis of road accident is very important in a developing country. This projects aims at designing a cloud based framework for analysing road accident. The reason for accidents are because of various factors like road conditions, vehicle conditions, human driving conditions, weather conditions, experience of drivers and nature of traffic. It is highly possible that these accidents occur due t...

An “atypical” accident scenario is a scenario deviating from normal expectations and, thus, not deemed credible by common processes of risk assessment. Past experience shows that non identified accident scenarios as such represent a latent risk for industry and society and sometimes their occurrence can lead to consequences of unexpected extent. An evident example of an atypical accident was th...

The occurrences of accidents on the railways are inevitable in today’s world and the factors which may cause it, except the atmospheric and accidental ones, are identified and preventable as well. Therefore, these factors can be investigated and useful actions can be performed in order to reduce these accidents. The main impetus of the present research is the statistical analysis of the causes ...

Accident investigation reports usually lead to a set of recommendations for change. These recommendations are, however, sometimes resisted for reasons such as various aspects of ethics and power. When accident investigators are aware of this, they use several strategies to overcome the resistance. This paper describes strategies for dealing with four different types of resistance to change. The...

Engineers and researchers in the automobile industry have tried to design and build safer automobiles, but traffic accidents are unavoidable. Patterns involved in dangerous crashes could be detected if we develop accurate prediction models capable of automatic classification of type of injury severity of various traffic accidents. These behavioral and roadway accident patterns can be useful to ...

Traffic accidents at urban intersections result in a huge cost to society in tenns of death, injury, lost productivity, and property damage. Unfortunately, the elements that effect the frequency of intersection accidents are not well understood and, as a result, it is difficult to predict the effectiveness of specific intersection improvements that are aimed at reducing accident frequency. Usin...

W ith the advent of the automobile as a mode of transportation late in the nineteenth century, a new phenomenon, the motor vehicle acci­ dent, appeared on the American scene. While the motor vehicle was in its early stages of development, the problem was not serious. How­ ever, as the volume of cars on the highways increased, the number of accidents increased also; the problem began to assume g...
