Ludwig von Stockert (1913) proposed a classification of accidents by their effects (consequences); e.g. Head-on Collision s, Rear-end Collision s, Derailment s. Schneider and Mase (1971) proposed an additional classification by causes; e.g. Driver 's errors, Signalmen 's errors, mechanical faults. Similar categorisations had been made by implication in previous books e.g. Rolt (1956), but Stockert's and Schneider/Mase's are more systematic and complete. With minor changes, they represent best knowledge. CLASSIFICATION OF RAIL ACCIDENTS BY EFFECTS (Summary only; to be updated, or cross-referenced to full separate article) Collisions
