SAFETY AND SYSTEMS ANALYSIS, WITH APPLICATIONS TO TRAFFIC SAFETY

ACCIDENTS ARE A MANIFESTATION OF SYSTEMS FAILURE. THE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS APPROACH TO THE TRAFFIC SAFETY PROBLEM REQUIRES CONSIDERATION OF A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS INTENDED TO REDUCE THE HAZARDS AS THEY EXIST IN THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER, THE ENVIRONMENT, OR THE LEGAL AND REGULATORY FEATURES. THE DISTRIBUTION OF ACCIDENT LOSSES THROUGH THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE IS UNSATISFACTORY. FROM A SYSTEMS POINT OF VIEW, A CHANGE TO THE CONCEPT OF LIABILITY WITHOUT FAULT CAN BE ENDORSED. /HSL/
