Abstract

Traditional accident models regard accidents as resulting from a linear chain of events. They are limited in their ability to handle accidents in complex systems including non-linear interactions among components, software errors, human decision-making, and organizational factors. A new accident model called Systems-theoretic Accident Modeling and Processes (STAMP) has been developed by Leveson to explain such accidents. In this paper, we will use the STAMP accident model to analyze the China-Yongwen railway accident for a more comprehensive view of the accident and propose some improvement measures to prevent similar accidents in the future.
