Accident of Busdrivers — Practical and Methodological Problems
bookPart
An important discovery at the onset of the project (as mentioned in the previous paper, Pokorny and Blom, 1983) was that because of insurance regulations all bus accidents, whatever the damage may be, with or without injury, had to be reported to the company. This fact, together with the existance of an archive containing information about accidents which had happened in previous years, formed the beginning of this part of the study. These findings can be considered as some of the basic conditions for an accident analysis to yield satisfactory results. The operational definition of an accident was therefore: “An accident is an event of damage to a bus, or by a bus, that needed to be reported to the insurance company”.
