Importance of transportation safety management

Estimated 1.2 million death and 50 million injured globally & annually Aviation 10 to 15 crashes per 10 million flights globally Rail & bus is two or three times safer than on aeroplane and about 40 times safer than ordinary automobile (Hoel et al, 2008)

Importance of transportation safety management

Why important? Among others: To save life and preserve mankind Provide high reliability and trustworthy services Increase the economic and social wellbeing Reduce losses and destruction to properties and the environment

Causes

Human behaviour: Mindsets, Culture Vehicular conditions: tyres, brakes, engine, Infrastructures: travelways (roads, runaway, etc) Natural events: Weathers, floods, typhoon, tsunami, eartquakes Technological causes: Sudden failure of mechanical system, etc
