Traffic accidents have become one of the main causes of death in Indonesia. The biggest contributor to traffic accidents are motorcyclists. According to police records, human error plays a major role in the occurrence of accidents. The aim of this study is to analyze the potential types of human error that contribute to traffic accidents, as well as the psychological factors that underlie traffic accidents experienced by car drivers and motorcyclists. Data was collected by interviewing five car drivers and five motorcyclists. Results show that the car drivers tend to perform a type of human error which is classified as lapses, while the motorcyclists tend to do an error of slips. For psychological factors that underlie traffic accident, results show that both car drivers and motorcyclists made recognition errors, i.e. did not estimate distance, time, and speed. They also made decision errors, i.e. did not avoid the situation immediately, and performance errors, i.e. a motorcyclist stepped on the gas pedal by mistake. Other errors done by the car drivers were being sleepy and drunk, whereas other errors done by motorcyclists were not having a riding license and feeling tired. The implication of this study is to make the drivers/riders aware of the importance of cognitive aspects in driving.

Manual assembly operations are sensitive to human errors that can diminish the quality of final products. The paper shows an application of human reliability analysis in a realistic manufacturing context to identify where and why manual assembly errors occur. The techniques SHERPA and HEART were used to perform the analysis of human reliability. Three critical tasks were selected for analysis based on quality records: (1) installation of three types of brackets using fasteners, (2) fixation of a data cable to the assembly structure using cushioned loop clamps and (3) installation of cap covers to protect inlets. The identified error modes with SHERPA were: 36 action errors, nine selection errors, eight information retrieval errors and six checking errors. According to HEART, the highest human error probabilities were associated with assembly parts sensitive to geometry-related errors (brackets and cushioned loop clamps). The study showed that perceptually engaging assembly instructions seem to offer the highest potential for error reduction and performance improvement. Other identified areas of action were the improvement of the inspection process and workers’ provision with better tracking and better feedback. Implementation of assembly guidance systems could potentially benefit worker’s performance and decrease assembly errors.

To date, the traffic accident number on hairpin curve is still quite high. This is exacerbated by speeding driving behaviour of some road users.This research aims to identify the factors that cause traffic accidents and drivers’ behaviour at the curve; to review curve geometric design; and to develop a relationship among speed, curve geometric condition and the accident at the curve. This study simply reviewed three hairpin curves that were prone to be blackspots in Batang. The dominant factors that cause accidents were human error and road condition. The driver’s speeding behaviour was indicated by the speed that was lessen when entering and increase when leaving the curve. There were speed variations among vehicles in research location that could increase the number of accident. The results of the geometric review showed that the radius of all curves evaluated did not meet the standard, i.e. less than the minimum radius. Another result of this study was relationships among speed, geometric condition and accident number, as shown by the following formula: Speed = 0.095 Radius + 42.889, No. of accident = - 0.785 Radius + 0.008 Speed - 284.301, and EAN = 0.028 Speed  - 1108.689.

A traffic accident is a tragedy or accident that occurs on the road involving a motorized or heavy vehicle with other road users or without a vehicle. This incident caused the victim to suffer physical, health and material losses. Traffic accidents occur due to several factors such as human error or inadequate road conditions. Even traffic jams can also lead to traffic accidents. The problem of driving and road safety needs to be considered to reduce the number of traffic accidents that occur. This study was conducted to determine the factors that cause accidents, especially those caused by road conditions and traffic performance. The method used in the field observation research and using data on the number of accidents in 2018–2020 located on Jalan Raya Ngaliyan which was taken from the accident data of the West Semarang Police Traffic Unit. The level of road performance on Jalan Tanjakan Silayur Semarang City, at peak hours in the morning and non-peak hours during the day category C and at peak hours in the afternoon category E. Damage to the flexible pavement surface on Jalan Tanjakan Silayur is dominated by the type of damage cracks, grooves, and bleeding. One of the factors that caused the accident was because the traffic signs were not optimal on the Jalan Tanjakan Silayur section.

Background: Road traffic accidents is growing continuously as a global burden and would be a leading cause of death in developing countries. The global burden of road traffic accidents continues to grow and promises to overtake tropical diseases as leading causes of death in the developing world. This study aimed to study the pattern and causes of road traffic accidents in Morang district.Methods: Record based descriptive cross-sectional study was used by reviewing all registered RTA cases of the District Traffic Police Office, Morang during fiscal year 2074/75 (Shrawan 2074 to Ashad 2075). 501 road traffic accident cases were found in the record and used for the study. The data was analysed using SPSS v 16 and presented in normal frequency tables and crosstables.Results: Out of 501 accidents 32.2% occurred Friday and Saturday. In the evening time, most of the accidents occurred. In highways, 53.5% of accident cases occurred. 82% of the accidents occurred in blacktop road. Two-wheelers are mostly involved in accident cases (77%). Negligence (55.7%) and over-speed (36.5%) were the major reasons for accidents. In 33% of cases, accidents occurred involving pedestrians and cyclists. 80% of the drivers are below 40 years; similarly 80% of the victims are also below 40 years. Among victims who died 84.1% were male and among injured 73.3% were males.Conclusions: Weekends, evening, highways and two wheelers are more accident prone time, place and vehicles respectively. Overspeed and negligence of driver tends to major cause of accidents and majority of victims are the young bike riders and pedestrians. Keywords: Burden; causes; road traffic accidents; pattern

Introduction. Traffic accidents are caused by road, vehicle and human factors, the latter one causing, either by itself or associated with other factors, more than 90% of car accidents. There are three types of human errors: errors in perception, attention and memory. Material and Methods. The study included thirty healthy drivers, aged 28-40, with 500 km driven per a week, who had caused at least one traffic accident, but not being intoxicated by alcohol or drugs during the accident. The same number of controls were included. Both the cases and controls were interviewed. Results. We found no difference regarding the marital status, education, conflicts with family members or problems at work, frequency of using the car, speed and habit of fastening seat belts among car drivers who had caused traffic accidents and those who had not. However, we did find significant differences in the frequency of alcohol consumption in general and before driving. Discussion. Car drivers who had caused traffic accidents used alcohol regularly in greater percentage than those drivers who had not caused any accident - i.e. not a single control claimed to use alcohol regularly. A statistically significant difference was also recorded in alcohol consumption immediately before driving. Such results had been expected, bearing in mind the influence of alcohol on the time needed by drivers to react in emergency. Conclusion. Alcohol consumption is an important factor causing traffic accidents. Since drivers included in our study did not cause a road accident after consuming alcohol, we have found that alcohol consumption, both regular and just before driving, is an important cause of traffic accidents.

Background: Underreporting of deaths and injuries resulting from road traffic accidents is a major issue globally. Understanding the extent of underreporting and the causes along with the assessment of quality of data available will help in developing a better system of reporting and accurate estimation of burden and risk factors which aid in developing prevention programmes. Methods: A cross sectional study was done keeping hospital records as a baseline data to which the under reporting in the police records on traffic injuries was measured. The population under study was the total number of accidents that took place in Chandigarh in the month of June-July 2011 and had reported to the emergency department of three major government hospitals. These three hospitals have been selected purposefully as majority of the road traffic accident victims are being admitted/ treated in these hospitals. Results: A total of 537 cases and 375 cases were recorded in police and hospital records respectively for the month of June-July 2011. Only 15% cases from the police records were matched with the hospital records. Among the matched 64% were completely matched and 36% were partially matched cases. None of fatal injuries registered in both the records were among the matched cases. Most of the road traffic accident cases (79.4%) involved males aged 20-49 years. The official records of road accidents have been found to be incomplete in terms of number of accident and information on age, sex, address of the victim, type and severity of injury. Conclusions: A standardised reporting format of all RTIs should be developed and maintained by both the police and hospitals. All hospitals should mandatorily report all RTI cases reported to them to the police to ensure completeness.

Abstract The goal of this research is to demonstrate the applicability of the Human Error and Functional Failure Reasoning (HEFFR) framework to complex engineered systems. Human errors are cited as a root cause of a majority of accidents and performance losses in complex engineered systems. However, a closer look would reveal that such mishaps are often caused by complex interactions between human fallibilities, component vulnerabilities, and poor design. Hence, there is a growing call for risk assessments to analyze human errors and component failures in combination. The HEFFR framework was developed to enable such combined risk assessments. Until now, this framework has only been applied to simple problems, and it is prone to be computationally heavy as complexity increases. In this research, we introduce a modular HEFFR assessment approach as means of managing the complexity and computational costs of the HEFFR simulations of complex engineered systems. Then, we validate the proposed approach by testing the consistency of the HEFFR results between modular and integral assessments and between different module partitioning assessments. Next, we perform a risk assessment of a train locomotive using the modular approach to demonstrate the applicability of the HEFFR framework to complex engineered systems. The results show that the proposed modular approach can produce consistent results while reducing complexity and computational costs. Also, the results from the train locomotive HEFFR analysis show that the modular assessments can be used to produce risk insights similar to integral assessments but with a modular context.

Abstract. Twin-engine propeller aircraft accidents occur due to mechanical reasons as well as human error, such as misidentifying a failed engine. This paper proposes a visual indicator as an alternative method to the dead leg–dead engine procedure to identify a failed engine. In total, 50 pilots without a multi-engine rating were randomly assigned to a traditional (dead leg–dead engine) or an alternative (visual indicator) group. Participants performed three takeoffs in a flight simulator with a simulated engine failure after rotation. Participants in the alternative group identified the failed engine faster than the traditional group. A visual indicator may improve pilot accuracy and performance during engine-out emergencies and is recommended as a possible alternative for twin-engine propeller aircraft.
