The theory was developed further by Frank E Bird in 1966 based on the analysis of 1.7 million accident reports from almost 300 companies. He produced an amended triangle that showed a relationship of one serious injury accident to 10 minor injury (first aid only) accidents, to 30 damage causing accidents, to 600 near misses.
Accident triangles have been proposed to model the number of minor problems vs. the number of serious incidents. These include Heinrich's triangle [9] and Frank E. Bird's accident ratio triangle (proposed in 1966 and shown above). Many models to characterize and analyze accidents have been proposed, [10] which can be classified by type.

Some of the first roadside signs—ancient milestones—merely gave distance measures. Hazard warnings were rare though occasional specimens appeared, such as the specific warning about horse-drawn vehicles backing up which was carved in stone in Lisbon's Alfama neighborhood in 1686. The early signs did not have high-contrast lettering and ...
