The purpose of this study was: (1) to propose a classification system for the contributory factors behind major coach and bus accidents with mass casualties based on human factor analysis (HFACS); (2) identify main indicators causal factors. Based 56 official investigation reports more than 10 fatalities, qualitative content was conducted develop modified these accidents, gray correlation causa...

Traffic accidents can be thought of as being the whole combination events that usually occur due to reasons caused by humans, vehicles, roadway, and environment, which are basic elements transportation, these most likely result in injuries, death, huge financial damage. In this study, making use a dataset, received from New Zealand Transportation Agency, it is estimated whether or not traffic o...

In this paper, the principal concepts of the energy flow/barrier analysis are used to define an accident as a series of events including failure of the control and protective barriers, which results exposure of a target to a hazardous agent. “Barrier structure” is introduced, as a combination of serial and parallel barriers, to calculate the severity of risks of accidents. It is defined for eac...

Avoidable deaths from asthma continue. Some of these result from the difficulty in determining the severity of an acute asthma attack at the initial assessment. This study evaluated the relation of pulse oximetry with other markers of severity in 46 patients attending an accident and emergency (A&E) department with acute asthma. Neither oxygen saturation nor peak flow correlated with length of ...
