章節(jié)摘錄
When a passenger transport disaster occurs the first question that is raised is: "couldthe accident have been prevented?" More and more passengers want to travel cheaply andto feel safe doing so. In many parts of the world public transport is owned by privateindustries that compete for increased profit. With profit as the basis for business, nationalsafety councils and boards monitor companies to ensure that they implement up-to-datesystems, using the most recent advances in technology to help prevent accidents.Air transportAir travel is generally the safest, fastest, and most economical means of travellinglong distances, with far fewer accidents occurring given the volume of air traffic comparedwith, say, road transportation. Of course, when an airliner crashes the loss of life isgreater. There are almost 100 million air travellers to and from the UK each year and thenumber is increasing. It is estimated that air travel figures will increase annually by 4.5%until 2015. Around 85% of air accidents are caused by human error, but this covers piloterror, air traffic control error, and design and engineering errors in manufacture andmaintenance. The other causes of air crashes are mechanical failure and terrorism,although the latter is far less common now than it was in the 1970s and 1980s. Regulatoryauthorities police air travel to ensure standards are set nationally, with bodies like the CivilAviation Authority (UK) and the Federal Aviation Authority (USA) ensuring that strictsafety, performance, and reliability requirements are met. The International CivilAviation Organization helps control international civil aviation, establishing uniformstandards for aircraft markings, airworthiness, and licensing of pilots. A worldwide airtraffic control network monitors and guides aeroplanes through national airspace, andensures that two aeroplanes never fly so close to each other that they might crash. Inaddition, on board computer systems provide a variety of support and warning functionsfor pilots and air traffic controllers. In the UK there is much controversy over plans tonationalize part of the air traffic control system and have it run by a private companyrather than the state. Airlines carry out stringent checks on aircraft before and afterflights, as well as during routine servicing operations. In addition, if there is an accidentinvolving a particular aircraft model, other airlines will often withdraw that type ofaircraft from their own fleets to carry out safety checks and reassure passengers.
