Classification of railway accidents, both in terms of cause and effect, is a valuable aid in studying rail (and other) accidents to help to prevent similar ones occurring in the future. Systematic investigation for over 150 years has led to the railways' excellent safety record (compared, for example, with road transport). Ludwig von Stockert (1913) proposed a classification of accidents by their effects (consequences); e.g. head-on collisions, rear-end collisions, derailments. Schneider and Mase (1971) proposed an additional classification by causes; e.g. driver's errors, signalmen's errors, mechanical faults. Similar categorisations had been made by implication in previous books e.g. Rolt (1956), but Stockert's and Schneider/Mase's are more systematic and complete. With minor changes, they represent best knowledge. == Classification of rail accidents by effects == Collisions * Head-on collision * Rear collision * Collisions with buffer stops * Obstructions on the line (road vehicles, landslides, avalanches) Derailments * Plain track * Curves * Junctions Other * Fires and explosions (including sabotage/terrorism) * Falls from trains, collisions with people on tracks 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「classification of railway accidents」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
