Davis, RPA Deborah Van Steen The Louis Berger Group, Inc. New York, New York February 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is seeking discretionary actions in order to facilitate the redevelopment of a nine-block area known as Broadway Triangle, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The Proposed Action includes zoning map amendments to generally rezone the existing M1-2 Manufacturing District to Residential and Commercial Districts; zoning text amendments to establish Inclusionary Housing in the proposed R6A and R7A zoning districts; the disposition of City-owned properties; Urban Development Action Area Projects designation; the modification of an Urban Renewal Plan; and City Acquisition through eminent domain. The Project Area encompasses approximately 31 acres and is generally bounded by Flushing Avenue to the south, Throop Avenue to the east, Lynch Street to the north, and Union Avenue, Walton Street, and Harrison Avenue to the west. As part of this action, the HPD is undertaking an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Broadway Triangle Redevelopment Project. Consideration for cultural resources, including both archaeological and historic architectural resources, must be undertaken as part of the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) process.

  • Accident Root Causes Identification Using a Taxonomy
    Computers in Railways XVII 171 ACCIDENT ROOT CAUSES IDENTIFICATION USING A TAXONOMY JEROME MAGOUET1, MATTHIEU PERIN2 & SIMON COLLART-DUTILLEUL2 1Vulcain Ingénierie, France 2Gustave Eiffel University, IFSTTAR/ESTAS, France ABSTRACT Railway accidents are rare, but for the sake of safety improvement they are all investigated by experts. Whereas this solution has proven its correctness to increase the overall safety in transportation, the lack of a methodological analysis formalization in case of similar accidents may lead to the non-detection of common root causes and to forfeit their removals. The aim of this work is to propose a formalized taxonomy based on the accident causes, classified by main categories such as “technical causes”, “human causes” or “organizational causes”. This classification is then used as a seed for safety analysis, like fault tree analysis, to detect and quantify possible common root causes for similar railway accidents. Along with this paper, the methodology is exemplified on a specific accident type: the derailments caused by over-speed in curves. Keywords: taxonomy, railway, accident, root causes, fault tree analysis. 1 INTRODUCTION Although railway accidents are subject to expert investigations, there is a lack of methodological analysis formalization in case of similar accidents, allowing an identification of the root causes by the mean of correlation. Actually, multiple occurrences of a given factor may lead to stronger conclusion and will allow the definition of corrective actions to avoid the considered class of accident. The aim of this work is to propose a methodology to prepare taxonomy of the accidents causes, classified by main categories such as “technical causes”, “human causes” or “organizational causes”, and then use this result as a seed for safety analysis: root cause analysis and fault tree analysis (FTA).
