• As per United Nations organization 2010 report
transportation hazards and disasters are
expected to claim more human lives than HIV by
2020 AD.
• Since the means of transport like vehicles on the
roads passenger and freight trains on rail tracks
ships in the seas and rivers and aircrafts in the
air are operated and handled by humans hence
there is every likelihood for hazardous accidents
to occur and to clean human lives and to destroy
properties resulting into huge economic and
financial losses.
• On an average there are transportation
accidental disasters almost every day in the
world, but accident events are under reported
consequently exact figures regarding accidents
related casualties and economic and financial
losses are not available.
INTRODUCTION
• Road accidents or traffic collision
disasters
• Rail disasters
• Aviation accident disasters
• Maritime accident disasters
The transportation disasters are classified into four
major groups based on means of transportation
TYPES OF
TRANSPORTATION
DISASTERS
Human factors
Mechanical and technical defects in transit failure of
breaks, engines or other functions of vehicles,
locomotives, ships or aircrafts
Human error
Health and mental condition of operators like fatigue,
ill health, intoxication, mental tension, stress etc.
Maintenance of means of transportation
Natural factors
Nature of surface conditions and media such as
land surface, water surface or air corridor etc.
Weather conditions such as atmospheric storms
hailstorms, slow storms, lightning, humidity
precipitation etc.
CAUSES OF TRANSPORTATION DISASTERS
Road Accident
Disasters
• Road accidents are most common of
all the transportation accidents and
disasters because of largest road
lengths and longest road network
and largest number of vehicles of all
other transportation carriers and
network in the world.
• Accidents are also called traffic
collision accidents or disasters
RAIL ACCIDENT DISASTERS
Length and
density of railway
networks
Life of rail coaches
and rails
Maintenance of
railway tracks
Locomotives Rail coach
Wagon of freight
trains
Signaling systems Visibility factors Technologies
Driver skills and
training
Driver errors
Reaction speed
and reflex action
Intoxication,
fatigue and health
status of drivers
Rail accidents depend upon several factors such as
AVIATION
DISASTER
Aviation accidents are defined as an occurrence associated with the operation of an
aircraft which takes place between the time and any person boards the aircraft with
the intention of light until such time as all such persons have disembarked, where a
person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural
failure, or the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible (The convention on
international civil aviation)
CAUSES OF AVIATION DISASTERS
Pilots error
Fuel tank
explosion
Mid air collision
Uncontrolled
decompression
Aircraft structural
failure
Airstrip accident
shooting down of
civilian aircraft by
missiles
• Maritime transportation accidents
related disaster is confined to
accidents of cargo ships and
passenger ferry ships only
• The maritime accidents of ferry ships,
cargo ships, oil tankers, fishing
trawlers result in:
 Human casualties
 Economic and financial losses
 Environmental pollution and damage
to marine lives
Maritime Disaster
CAUSES OF MARITINE DISASTERS
Collision between two ships
either 2 passenger ships or two
cargo ships or between two oil
tankers or between passenger
ships or and cargo ships
Collision between
passenger ferry and oil
tanker
Blast through explosives
Technical and structural
failures
Collision with reefs
Collision with large
icebergs
Atmospheric storms Fire
Mariner's error Terrorist attacks Pirates
