This paper deals with research of safety performance predictions to allow improved risk control in military. Safety performance is identified as appropriate tool to establish system-wide information on safety which can serve the decision making process on how to manage safety. The information contributes to better understanding of behavioural patterns in the controlled system and the ability to foresee...
Ship to ship(STS) crude oil transfer at sea is universally recognized high-risk operation at sea. When incidents happen during crude oil transfer operations enormous oil spill accident and tremendous environmental damage will be caused, induced consequences could be disastrous. Based on chosen risk evaluation indicators and the risk weighted evaluation indicator, we establish the risk evaluation system...
Transportation risk analysis for chemical agents is an important basis of the safety management and scientific decision-making, the application of adjoint method can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of risk analysis. In the paper, a new risk function is defined based the introduction of penalty function, and then the transportation route length and risk are considered in the new function...
China is striving to build "smooth, efficient, safe, green" transport system, which demand highway to meet traffic safety functional requirements and ensure the safety of roadside ecological environment as well. A lot of research in highway traffic safety at home and abroad have been carried out and achieved considerable results. However, there are few researches to combine the highway traffic...
The need to improve the efficiency of elevator systems is growing as higher buildings are being constructed. Increasing the number of elevators within a building is a commonly used strategy to achieve a greater passenger transportation capacity. However, the area required by elevator shafts limits the number of elevators that can be built. Multicar-elevator (MCE) systems, consisting of two or more...
By analyzing the module and concrete items of risks in ship pilotage, applying Grey theory analysis, brings forward the Grey Theory Analysis Model in ship pilotage risks analysis, Moreover, fuzzy function is taken in the analysis of relative risk factors, achieving the optimal relational coefficient of piloting risk factors, and finally obtaining the relational degree taxis. As indicated in the computing...
This paper describes a well-designed and calibrated simulation model to solve the design of Ships' routeing system which provide useful insights about complex maritime transportation routes. Real data from shanghai port Vessel Traffic Services Center (VTS) are used as input for evaluating four traffic policies. The simulation model mainly focuses on the transit traffic in the channel. This study provides...
Due to large span across the region, the complex natural and social environment, inflammability and explosive of the transmission media, the safety management of long-distance natural gas pipeline is very difficult. In this paper, we adopt quantitative risk assessment method, base on GIS technology, network technology and database technology, then design the Natural Gas Pipeline Quantitative Risk...
ALSTOM Transport has been a major actor in the Railway Industry for decades and has always been committed with its Clients and their National State Authorities, to deliver Railway Products and Maintenance Services with the highest standard of Railway Safety. Rail Business Actors must remain vigilant and continue to play a pro-active role to maintain the level of public safety confidence. High levels...
We summarized recent research aimed at expanding the context of facility location decisions to incorporate additional features of a supply chain including variable construction cost, inventory management, transportation cost, etc. Authors expended location model of risk pooling with variable construction cost (LMRPVCC) to construct location model of risking pool with variable construction cost with...
The current financial tsunami makes it difficult for enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises (SME) to ask for loans from banks to finance their future manufacturing activities and business development. Recent years, warehouse financing emerges as an effective and popular means for SMEs to get financing and investment from major banks and large corporations. In addition, it incorporates...
The paper develops an architecture of Agile Safety Management System of Chemicals Transportation (ASMSCT) based on multi-agent based model and software reusability. The decision maker can be an alliance which deal with management activities involving proactive risk analysis, emergency response and regular safety information service. The top level information model and control model are studied in...
A multi-state approach to defining basic notions of the system safety analysis is proposed. A system safety function and a system risk function are defined. A basic safety structure of a multi-state series system of components with degrading safety states is defined. For this system the multi-state safety function is determined. The proposed approach is applied to the evaluation of a safety function,...
Traditional risk analyses approach for ship collision generally calculates the possibility of ship collision with historical data, mathematical models and consultation of the experts, which only evaluates the present risk level. However, it is obvious that the outcome of the analyses is definitely not appropriate to describe the future of the studied area. This article introduces a new risk analysis...
With the rapid development of underground metropolitan transportation, the problem of safety risks, especially the fire risks, have always been accorded great attention by researchers and practitioners. In order to reduce the uncertainty of fire risks in underground metropolitan transportation, the main objective of this paper is to devise a proactive approach to dynamically predict and control conditions...
Based on a thorough investigation of the pilotage accidents in Shanghai harbour during last 13 years and other effective ways for getting the information about the dangers of the pilotage, the pilotage risks in various navigating areas of Shanghai harbour are presented. Through the analysis of the practical traffic situation and assessment of the pilotage risks, the detailed proposals and systematic...
To investigate the safety of route flight in air traffic management, the collision risk is evaluated with the fuzzy sets theory. The new fuzzy evaluation method shows how the communication, navigation, surveillance, operation error, and traffic density influence the risk of collision in the parallel routes. The results demonstrate that fuzzy evaluation not only fulfill the safety assessment of separation...
