introduction: the effects of accidents vary from minor injuries to fatalities and from insignificant damage to very severe damage to the environment and property. in order to prevent accidents in the work place, the root causes of and events should be identified using a systematic method and the results should be published. the current study aims to investigate the given causes of an accident i...

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...

Safety-critical industries have long been subjected to extensive research and development enhance operator performance improve their efficiency. From a human factors perspective, much of the work in process is related either enhancing technical training operators or improving physical ergonomics hazardous workplaces. The importance Nontechnical Skills (NTS) traditionally less emphasized, while ...

Even though 85 percent of those who have been severely injured in an accident in Germany survive, complex and serious long-term consequences are still a major problem not only for health and care insurance providers but also for the accident victims themselves because their quality of life is affected permanently. Therefore the aim of the current study is to identify factors that significantly ...

AIM To determine whether there were any changes in attendance at accident and emergency departments that could be related to international football matches (Euro96 tournament). METHOD Fourteen accident and emergency departments (seven adjacent to and seven distant from a Euro96 venue) provided their daily attendance figures for a nine week period: three weeks before, during, and after the tou...

In present days, the major road ways are monitored using surveillance camera. When an accident happen with in this surveillance area, the existing system has the information about the accident and it was failed to alert the authority unless manually initiated. Our proposed system will send the information to the authority as earlier as any mesh up happened. This process is done by following two...

Several factors are considered in car accident analysis. Human factors research has shown that different perceptual and cognitive factors influence driving performance, leading to improvements in vehicle and road design. This case study provides a deeper understanding of the potential influence of major perceptual and cognitive variables on driving performance in general, including (a) driver e...

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a major public health concern, resulting in an estimated 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries worldwide each year. In the developing world, RTAs are among the leading cause of death and injury; Ethiopia in particular experiences the highest rate of such accidents. Thus, methods to reduce accident severity are of great interest to traffic agencies and the ...

In an earlier paper [Danielsson, 1986], we studied the problem of estimating the safety effect of a countermeasure on the expected number of accidents at road junctions when high-accident sites are selected for the study. Often, however, the countermeasure leads to varying effectiveness on different types of accidents. This paper is a generalization in that we estimate effects of countermeasure...
