Train accidents damage infrastructure and rolling stock, disrupt operations, and may result in casualties and environmental damage. While the majority of previous studies focused on the safety risks associated with train derailments or highway-rail grade crossing collisions, much less work has been undertaken to evaluate train collision risk. This paper develops a statistical risk analysis methodology for freight-train collisions in the United States between 2000 and 2014. Negative binomial regression models are developed to estimate the frequency of freight-train collisions as a function of year and traffic volume by accident cause. Train collision severity, measured by the average number of railcars derailed, varied with accident cause. Train collision risk, defined as the product of collision frequency and severity, is predicted for 2015 to 2017, based on the 2000 to 2014 safety trend. The statistical procedures developed in this paper can be adapted to various other types of consequences, such as damage costs or casualties. Ultimately, this paper and its sequent studies aim to provide the railroad industry with data analytic tools to discover useful information from historical accidents so as to make risk-informed safety decisions.

Vegetable Cultivation

Environmental damage will disrupt the ecosystem to support life. Unsustainable agriculture can be a source of environmental degradation. Conventional agriculture may have an effect on the environment, thus the participation of various parties in sustainable agriculture is needed. Organic agriculture is developed as an environmentally friendly agricultural cultivation with many benefits. Compared to the attention on occupational health, safety and environmental problems, economic motives receive less attention. This study aims to calculate the costs arising from the health impacts of vegetable cultivation. There were 314 respondents interviewed in this study. There were significant differences in the sickness complaints felt by respondents; organic farmer groups have the potential to incur health costs of Rp. 30,333.33, while the conventional group is higher, with a cost of Rp. 103.303.57 (US$ 7.38). Organic farming has a better impact because it uses natural ingredients and is not bad for health. The potential losses arising from health cases also show a high and significant number (p <0.001).

The Cost

Environmental damage due to over-exploitation by employers without thinking about environmental improvements result in long-term environmental damage. Allocation of environmental costs, making high expenses on companies that ultimately will reduce net income. This study will examine companies that have great potential to damage the environment, but the company is willing to make the allocation of environmental costs in its income statement, and the company also wants to follow the PROPER program created by the Ministry of Environment for the period 2011 to 2013. The research was conducted using secondary data in www.idx.co.id and www.proper.menlh.go.id. Financial Statements of the company that made the sample examined by checking whether there is environmental damage costs are allocated and check the results of PROPER (Program Performance Rating). This study will determine whether the company identifying, recognizing, measuring and presenting the cost of environmental damage in the Financial Statements. Results obtained from secondary data is that many companies have yet to identify, acknowledge, measure and present the cost of the destruction of nature in the financial statement, the company may have a cost allocation but still use the Incidental Charges account, so that when the pages are checked through www.idx.co.id charge is not visible. It is expected that in the future the company create its own environmental cost allocation account so that it can be easily identified by users of Financial Statements.

Design Options

The purpose of the article is twofold. We first present a Life Cycle Costing methodology applied at different scales to compare between design options in terms of materials use: in an automobile vehicle part, a whole vehicle, and a car manufacturer’s portfolio. The Life Cycle Costs consider costs for different stakeholders, including environmental damage costs (supported by the civil society), fuel expenses (supported by the customer) and materials costs (supported by the car manufacturer). The second objective of the article is to bring a management and socio-technical vision to the issue of material use in the automobile industry, in order to challenge the idea that all decisions regarding material use depend on purely technical and economic criteria. Through a qualitative research, we investigated the barriers to material efficiency and integrating the environmental criterion in decision making from a French car manufacturer’s perspective. Within the same company, we also collected material experts’ feedbacks on the LCC tool developed in the first Part, both in terms of methodology and potential integration in decision-making.
