Assessment of the Effects of Road Geometry on Irish Accident Rates and Driving Behaviour
… analyses driver crash data and extracts from it accidents that may have occurred as a result of road segments with bad geometry. A visualisation and analysis of this crash data is presented to better determine the relationship ‘if any’ between road geometry and accident points. The second …

Virginia School Bus Driver Training: Does Training Program Adequacy Affect school Bus Accident Rates?
… buses as having a significantly higher number of accidents per hundred million miles of travel than other forms of transportation. Such statistics are alarming and formal study of school bus accident factors has been limited. The purposes of this study were to (a) establish the adequacy of the …

Economic regulation, work relations, and accident rates in the United States motor carrier industry
… between firm economic well-being and preventable accident rates in the U.S. motor carrier industry between 1975 and 1986. In 1980 the U.S. motor carrier industry was deregulated which produced highly competitive market conditions. Firms facing such conditions were required to devise coping …

A safety analysis of industrial accidents. Accident records of major coal producing countries are analysed to obtain fatal and non-fatal accident rates. Significant factors influencing these rates are identified with efficacy of preventive measures.
A comprehensive study of accident records which have occured in Coal Mining Industries of Europe and U. S. A are analysed. The intention of the research was to establish relationships between the various accidents and prevention methods adopted by each country are evaluated and to assess the impact …

The loss control approach to industrial safety
Because industrial accident rates in many industrialized countries are apparently worsening, efforts are being made to devise new accident prevention techniques. One recent development is Loss Control, which involves a new management approach in which safety is incorporated in an integrated cost …

Safety performance comparison between light rail transit and subway
… injury and property damage categories demonstrates that accident rates may be unstable and easily distorted when the operational base is small. With increasing number of operations, the accident rate may become more predictable even if the simple numbers of accidents/incidents may still appear …

The Interaction of Motivational Orientation and Social Context in a Flight Setting
… have been found to correlate with aviation accident rates. Self-determination theory provides a schedule of social contexts and cues that support, control or thwart individual motivation, with the task-focused properties of intrinsic motivation and the external (group) focus of extrinsic …

Time-to-contact statistics as a proxy for accident probabilities
Accidents are relatively rare, and this makes it difficult to study the impact of traffic system changes or vehicle control changes on accident rates. One potential solution to this problem is the use of time-to-contact (TTC) statistics as a proxy for accident probabilities. Low TTC can be used as …

Efficacy, national/international practices and motivational factors of lifelong driver education for the aging population
… such programs to significant reductions in accident rates for seniors. But older driver education has produced certain outcomes that have been indirectly linked to driver safety. Among these secondary outcomes that led to significant reductions in crash rates are increases in self-regulation …
