Study on the Root Cause of Fuel Tanker Truck Accidents in Nigeria: Reliability of Accidents Caused by Human Factors (HF)
Abstract: Accidents involving transportation of petroleum products by road are of high frequency in Nigeria, mainly because of overdependence on the tanker-truck system due to pipeline vandalism. We analyzed over 92 accidents involving tankers-trucks from 2014 to 2019. In this study, the analysis is done to examine the factors that caused the accident using accident records and petroleum distribution data from the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC). Petroleum tanker-truck accident reports …
