This paper presents a semantic case-based reasoning framework for text categorization. Text categorization is the task of classifying text documents under predefined categories. Accidentology is our application field and the goal of our framework is to classify documents describing real road accidents under predefined road accident prototypes, which also are described by text documents. Acciden...

fuzzy logic is one of the concepts that has created different scientific attitudes by entering into various professional fields nowadays and in some cases has made remarkable effects on the results of the practical researches. however, the existence of stochastic and uncertain situations in risk and accident field, affects the possibility of the forecasting and preventing the occurrence of the ...

background accident investigation programs are a necessary part in identification of risks and management of the business process. objectives one of the most important features of such programs is the analysis technique for identifying the root causes of accidents in order to prevent their recurrences. analytical hierarchy process (ahp) was used to compare management oversight and risk tree (mo...

the adverse consequences of major accident events have led to development of accident analysis techniques to investigate thoroughly the accidents. however, each technique has its own advantages and shortcomings,which make it very difficult to find a single technique being capable of analyzing all types of accidents. therefore, the comparison of accident analysis techniques would help finding ou...

Overwinding was the main accident in lifting systems of coal mine and bucket dropping accident was the most serious overwinding accident. According to the cause and mechanism of the bucket dropping accident in main shaft hoisting systems, the conclusion that overloading promotion was the main cause of bucket crash accident was obtained with the fault tree analysis method. One theoretical analys...

In Taiwan, the fatal accident rate was 146 per million populations in 2008, roughly 1.8 times the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development average rate. Many studies have focused on traffic safety and attempted to identify methods for preventing traffic accidents. However, the analytical models used most frequently, including Statement Statistic, Regression Analysis, Factor Analys...
