Identifying the correlations between the attributes of severe accidents could be vital to preventing them. If such relationships were known dynamically, it would be possible to take preventative actions against accidents. The paper aims to develop an analytical model that is adaptable for each type of data to create preventative measures that will be suitable for any computational systems. The present model collectively shows the relationships between the attributes in a coherent manner to avoid severe accidents. In this respect, Association Rule Mining (ARM) is used as the technique to identify the correlations between the attributes. The research adopts a positivist approach to adhere to the factual knowledge concerning nine different accident types through case studies and quantitative measurements in an objective nature. ARM was exemplified with nine different types of construction accidents to validate the adaptability of the proposed model. The results show that each accident type has different characteristics with varying combinations of the attribute, and analytical model accomplished to accommodate variation through the dataset. Ultimately, professionals can identify the cause-effect relationships effectively and set up preventative measures to break the link between the accident causing factors.

An approach to investigate relationship between speed and safety on urban arterials Ardiç Eminağa, Zerrin; Akyılmaz, M. Özdemir; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) Traffic safety is an important problem in today’s world with increasing number of fatalities and injuries in traffic accidents. For the solution of this problem, determination of accident prone locations on a network and reasons behind is an essential step, which is studied to some extend via different traffic accident analyses in the literature. While major factors affecting accident risk, such as speed, congestion, infrastructural aspects are known, it is still very difficult to figure out the interaction...
Development of an expert system for the quantification of fault rates in traffic accidents Cangul, Eren; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Traffic accidents which damage the safety of human beings are one of the most important problems due to their material losses and effects to human health. Although continuous improvements are made by the governments; losses of traffic accidents are still a significant issue all over the world. The usual studies realized so far are generally related with the accident prevention models. However, there has not been much research done concerning the situation after the traffic accidents happen. After occurrence...
Stochastic modeling of accident risks associated with an underground coal mine in Turkey Sari, Mehmet; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Karpuz, Celal; Duzgun, H. Sebnem B. (2009-01-01) In this study, a methodology is proposed towards development of all uncertainty model that includes randomness in the occurrence of days-lost accidents in a coal mine. The accident/injury data consists of 1390 days-lost accident cases recorded at GLI-Tuncbilek underground lignite mine from January 1994 to December 2002. In the first step of proposed methodology, the frequency and the severity of the accidents have been modeled statistically by fitting appropriate distributions. The test done by BestFit soft...
A Phase-field Approach to Model Aortic Dissections Gültekin, Osman; Dal, Hüsnü; Holzapfel, Gerhard A. (null; 2018-07-06) Physiological and pathological aspects of aortic dissection are important issues in medical science , and undoubtedly require a deeper understanding of the respective mechanics that is behind these phenomenon. This has rendered computational mechanics very important to improve and even guide monitoring and preoperative planning [1]. In particular, the in silico estimation of the macro-scopic crack initiation and its propagation associated with aortic dissection purports valuable data for the clinics. The pr...
A new addition to DBQ: Positive Driver Behaviours Scale Özkan, Türker (Elsevier BV, 2005-7) The aims of the present study were to develop an instrument for measuring "positive" driver behaviours and to investigate the relationship between these behaviours, DBQ scales (violations and errors), aggression, traffic offences, and accidents. Participants were 306 Turkish drivers (194 male and 112 female) who completed a questionnaire including the newly developed Positive Driver Behaviour Scale, Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ), Driver Aggression Indicators Scale (DAIS), and items related to drivers...
