Haga, Shigeru, Watanabe, Kazuyoshi and Kusukami, Ken (1989): A New Warning System for Protected Level Crossings. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 975-978.

A level crossing on a Japanese Railways line was improved from the human factors point of view. Improved features of the warning system installed there are outlined and effects of the changes are reported. Various good effects of the renewal were found in visibility of the warning lights, appraisal by road users, and video-recorded crossing behavior. It was concluded that the renewal was highly successful and we advised the Japanese Railways to improve other level crossings similarly.

Kusukami, Ken and Ikeda, Toshihisa (1989): Identification of an Accident Pattern to Focus on from Presumed Accidents. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1034-1038.

Problems in incident survey and analysis in Japan are discussed and a new method of 'survey and analysis of presumed accidents' is proposed. The survey is conducted with an anonymous questionnaire method on workers in 3 Japanese Railways factories. Workers are asked to describe the presumed accident to which the highest priority of measures should be given, and the accidents are analyzed statistically. As a result, it is shown that an accident pattern can be selected to focus on in safety management. This method can be used for substantial preventive safety management based on features of workplaces.
