The number of road traffic accidents is a complicated problem that has never been separated from the government's attention since national development began to be implemented, especially in transportation sector. From three categories road, sea, air, and rail traffic, does have greatest risk accident rates compared others. In this case, it needs system, including manufacture designing Automatic...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been developing the Integrated Safety Assessment Model (ISAM) to provide a baseline risk assessment for the National Airspace System and to evaluate the safety impact of proposed changes to the system. ISAM consists of a set of event sequence diagrams and underlying fault trees for various accident scenarios. In the current model, all basic events i...

This study applied logistic regression to accident-related data collected from traffic-police records in order to examine the contributing factors to accident severity. A total of 560 subjects involved in severe accidents was sampled. The accident severity (dependent variable) in this study is a dichotomous variable with two categories, Fatal or Injury. Therefore, each of the subjects sampled i...

Firewood is commonly used around the world, but little is known about the work involved in its production and associated accidents. The objectives were to identify relationships between accidents and time exposure, workers' age and sex, equipment used and work activities in family forestry's firewood production. Data from a postal survey in Northern Sweden were compared to a database of injurie...

Determination of attentional status is important because working performance and an unexpected accident is highly related with the attention. The autonomic nervous and the central nervous systems can reflect the changes in person’s attentional status. Reduced number of suitable pysiological parameters among autonomic and central nervous systems related signal parameters will be critical in opti...

Human error has been implicated in 70 to 80% of all civil and military aviation accidents. Yet, most accident reporting systems are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. As a result, most accident databases are not conducive to a traditional human error analysis, making the identification of intervention strategies onerous. What is required is a general human error frame...

Child pedestrian accidents are the most common road traffic accident resulting in injury. Much of the existing work on road traffic accidents is based on analysing clusters of accidents despite evidence that child pedestrian accidents tend to be more dispersed than this. This paper analyses pedestrian accidents in 573 children aged 0-11 years by a locally derived deprivation score for the years...

The rapid population growth and increasing economic activities have resulted in the tremendous growth of motor vehicles which is considered one of the primary factors responsible for increasing road accidents in many metropolitan cities of developing countries, including Kolkata, India. In this paper an assessment of the current level of road safety in Kolkata is made utilizing data obtained fr...
