Mishaps are unexpected incidents, usually accidental in nature. Mishaps may be minor or major and can even take place within a work environment.
SIBs investigate the cause of any mishap to prevent future incidents from reoccurring. Affable communication among witnesses and SIB members is key in order to correctly pinpoint its origins.
Inattentive Drivers
To safely operate their vehicle, drivers must pay both visual and manual attention to the road. When these processes become impaired, they run the risk of missing potential hazards or causing accidents – this type of inattentive driving could stem from visual, manual, or cognitive distractions.
Electronic devices, like smartphones and tablet computers, are among the primary forms of distraction driving; however, any activity which takes your eyes off the road for over two seconds doubles your risk of an accident; this includes looking at classic convertibles on the side of the road, checking out scenery or watching out for squirrels!
One way of understanding motor vehicle crashes is to differentiate between distracted and inattentive driving, both of which may contribute to accidents. Although both can have similar results–namely serious crashes–there is still some disagreement among scientists as to their definitions in scientific literature.
Assumptions
Since it first surfaced in English in the 13th century, assumption has taken on many meanings and applications. At first it referred to Mary being assumed into heaven but this meaning soon expanded into its various applications today – encompassing taking or receiving.
Assumptions may be inaccurate and lead to miscommunication between project members. Unwarranted assumptions could even cause costly mishaps for any given project; to mitigate such risks effectively it is advisable to monitor project assumptions throughout their lifecycle.
Assumption management tools like Plaky provide features to track assumptions and review them at regular intervals to prevent unwarranted assumptions from hindering project progress and reduce risk. Documenting all project assumptions will also ensure everyone understands them accurately.
Lane Changes
Switching lanes is one of the most frequent driving practices, yet when done incorrectly can result in serious accidents – even fatal ones! Lane change crashes account for some of the deadliest and most costly of all motor accidents.
An accident caused by changing lanes can be particularly severe on highways. The impact could cause major injuries for both passengers. Therefore, drivers should wait until both lanes are free before merging their cars together.
Mandatory Lane Change (MLC) refers to when vehicles are forced to switch lanes due to traffic conditions such as following trucks or merging traffic, while discretionary Lane Change (DLC) involves drivers making decisions to move lanes based on driving environment factors like traffic condition or road condition. Both MLC and DLC can lead to serious traffic accidents; it is therefore imperative that we develop an accurate model that accurately predicts their lane change trajectory.
