Theoretical Model for Accident Prevention Based on Root Cause Analysis With Graph Theory.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite huge investments in new technology and transportation infrastructure, terrible accidents still remain a reality of traffic.

Methods

Severe traffic accidents were analyzed from four prevailing modes of today's transportations: sea, air, railway, and road. Main root causes of all four accidents were defined with implementation of the approach, based on Flanagan's critical incident technique. In accordance with Molan's Availability Humanization model (AH model), possible preventive or humanization interventions were defined with the focus on technology, environment, organization, and human factors.

Results

According to our analyses, there are significant similarities between accidents. Root causes of accidents, human behavioral patterns, and possible
