Three Key Factors Identifying Vulnerabilities

Normal accidents are very closely linked to risk society. As our culture takes on new, more advanced technologies and

vehicle collisions yearly, according to Kristof’s projections (Kristof 161). This is exponentially greater than the 30,000 who are killed in car accidents today, after these regulations were

Each year numerous lives are lost due to careless and irrational driving. The disregard for safe driving has been a predicament to the United States of America for years. Many years Police have relied heavily on speed cameras, breathalyzer tests and heavy fines as a deterrent against unlawful drivers. Over the years fatality rates have increased, so the Department of Transportation and Highway Safety has composed a series of safe driving campaigns. On many occasions the Transportation Department informs and advises the public about the importance of responsible driving. They propagate safe driving through the various channels of the media and

Background and Audience Relevance: According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015, about thirty-five hundred people were killed, and four hundred thousand were injured in car crashes.

Threat: An action or event that might compromise security. A threat is a potential violation of security.

Risk assessment and threat assessment should go hand-in-hand.The outcome of the risk assessment and threat assessment should provide recommendations that maximize the protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability while still providing functionality and usability. The purpose of a risk assessment is to ensure sensitive data and valuable assets are protected. An organization should take a hard look at who has access to sensitive data and if those accesses are required. The security audit should monitor the companies systems and users to detect illicit activity.The security audit should

was set the idea of "clear and present danger" which states that when words are

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s released its Commercial Motor Vehicle Facts report in March 2013; that in 2012, there were 5,700,000 Commercial drivers operating in the United States and a total of 504,093 interstate freight carriers operating. There was also a total of 15,465 intrastate hazardous material carriers on the highway. In 2012 alone, there were 75,542 carriers permitted to drive on the highway and roughly an equal amount in 2011, with 75,519. The importance of all of these statistics is that with the ever-growing number of commercial vehicles on the road, the amount of accidents increase as well. In 2011, 3,757 traffic crash victims were killed in a crash with a large truck and nearly 88,000 were injured. The fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled is .136 for large trucks and busses and the injury rate is 3.8. The estimated costs of commercial motor vehicle crashes totaled $87 billion; with $39 billion from fatal crashes, $32 billion from injury crashes and $16 billion from property damage only crashes. Not all of these accidents and fatalities are commercial carriers fault, because there are other drivers on the road that are distracted or under the influence for instance, but there can be extra precautions taken to decrease the amount of crashes and damage. Decreasing the wait time, also known as detention time, at shipping and receiving facilities, allows the drivers to be driving

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “in 2015, seat belt use in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 13,941 lives” (1). The NHTSA goes on to say that almost 30 million Americans still don’t use seat belts on a daily basis. Since vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of death in the United States and even the world, the argument to improve seat belt technology has increased dramatically. Researchers are often more concerned with whether or not people are wearing their seat belts, not the effectiveness of them, until now, although both are incredibly important. Seat belt safety, which is directly related to seat belt technology, has been shown to be increasingly ineffective because of the high severity

Automobiles have been around for over a century. They help people get around town as technology improves over the years. Now with better fuel economy, we are excited to be driving around for many miles over the road. Although many of our cars have change overtime, the one thing that has never change is the seat belt that’s near our car doors. Whenever you get in any car on the road, its important that we depend on people to wear seat belts. Seat Belts are the ones we must wear before we head out on our cars. Its protect drivers from injuries sustain from crashes. Seat Belt inspire many states laws in America, but sometimes not all seat belt laws are mandatory. Only one state in the United States didn’t have any seat belts laws at all with the exception of the booster seat law. Anytime we get in our car, we always depend on seat belts to protect drivers from serious injuries or

* Risk mitigation: The next major step in measuring level of risk was to determine the adverse impact resulting from successful exploitation of vulnerability. The adverse impact of a security event can be described in terms of loss or degradation of any, or a combination of any, of the following three security goals:

An enormous division currently exists between the people who believe that automobile safety should be an option and those that feel it must be a requirement. The federal government feels the morally obligated to create the safest driving environment possible. On the other end of the spectrum, opinions exist that the average driver has ability to make the choice of safety on their own. Editorials, political assemblies, debates, and conversations have arrived on the concept of click it or ticket. This idea refers to ticketing any motor vehicle driver and passenger that is not fastened by a seat belt. Arguments have been made for both sides, and have been reviewed in multiple states.

Many people have lost their lives on the road and other were severely injured. Over a million of people across the globe dies commuting from home, work or school. This is devastating to hear each day there are thousands of fatal car crashes. There are several contributing factors to collisions such as; speeding, driving under the influence, distracted while driving. For example, the person search for a radio station to listen to while driving. This causes the driver to take their eyes off the road; within seconds a collision can occur. Especially if the car ahead of the driver suddenly stops because the traffic speed decreases.

In the recent years, the United States government has been enforcing stricter mandates on auto manufacturers to create safer vehicles, and on construction companies to create safer roadways. Matthew Jensen wrote a dissertation for the Graduate School of Clemson University titled, A Methodology for the Analysis of In-vehicle Operating Data and Design of Intelligent Vehicle Systems for Improved Automotive Safety. In his abstract, Jensen evaluated the future of vehicle manufacturing and traffic-related incidents. Of course, every year more vehicles are manufactured, which in theory means the number of miles driven in vehicles increases. He points out how the World Health Organization (WHO) found that automobile crashes was the ninth

National Transportation Safety Board, said. "Fatal accidents should not be allowed to be the only catalyst for development" of safer practices.
