On the application of near accident data to risk analysis of major accidents

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2014
Abstract Major accidents are low frequency high consequence events which are not well supported by conventional statistical methods due to data scarcity. In the absence or shortage of major accident direct data, the use of partially related data of near accidents – accident precursor data – has drawn much attention. In the present work, a methodology

Analysis of accident reports

Ergonomics, 1982
The Materials Handling Research Unit has been developing a method for coding and analysing accident data from various industries. A literature review of accident reporting and analysis procedures in different industries was carried out. In order to demonstrate the methodology, a case study, consisting of an analysis of accident reports from the ...

Core task analysis in accident investigation: analysis of maritime accidents in piloting situations

Cognition, Technology & Work, 2007
This article discusses the difficulties in utilising accident analysis as the basis for the development of complex socio-technical systems, and how to improve accident analysis to better meet such aims. It focuses on two themes: accident models and experts’ involvement in accident investigation.

Applicability of accident analysis methods to Chinese construction accidents

Journal of Safety Research, 2019
It is necessary to clearly understand construction accidents for preventing a rise in Chinese construction accidents and deaths. Better analysis methods are required for Chinese construction sector accidents.Choosing and analyzing a typical construction accident based on four popular contemporary accident causation models: STAMP, AcciMap, HFACS, and ...

Analysis of fatalities in road accidents

Forensic Science International, 1988
This paper is based on the analysis of 524 autopsies carried out on the victims of road accidents at the Office of the Judicial Medical Officer, Colombo for a 2-year period ending December 1985. 51.4% of the fatalities were among pedestrians. The highest number of fatalities were in the age group 20-29 years.

Analysis of climbing accidents

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2000
The fall of a climber is analyzed by realistic and comprehensive model calculations. Various parameters that define such a fall and the action of the belaying system to stop it are included in an equation describing the balance between the energy gained by the fall and the various channels of dissipation.

Accident Causation Factor Analysis of Traffic Accidents using Rough Relational Analysis

International Journal of Rough Sets and Data Analysis, 2016
The aim of this study is to show that the decision rules generated from Rough Sets Theory can be used for a new relational analysis. Rough Sets Theory generally works with small datasets more than big data. If we can deal with the decision rules and its complexities, it is still possible to analyze big data with Rough Set Theory.
