The Risk Management Strategy of Applying Cloud Computing

It is inevitable that Cloud Computing will trigger off some loss exposures. Unfortunately, not much of scientific and objective researches had been focused on the identification and evaluation of loss exposures stemming from applications of Cloud Computing. In order to fill this research gap, this study attempts to identify and analyze loss exposures of Cloud Computing by scientific and objecti...

Multi-level Energy Management Strategy for Fuel Cell Vehicle Based on Battery Combined Efficiency and Identification of Vehicle Operation State

The design of energy management strategy is one of the main challenges in the development of fuel cell electric vehicles. The proposed strategy should be well responsive to provide demanded power of fuel cell vehicle for motion, acceleration, and different driving conditions, resulting in reduced fuel consumption, increased lifetime of power sources and increased overall fuel efficiency. The pu...

Comparison of Experience-Based and Evidence-Based Safety Risk Management Features for Heavy Vehicle Transport Operations

Independent research into safety management features that distinguish between lower insurance claimers and higher insurance claimers identified 14 characteristics that show clear evidence of efficacy in safety management in trucking operations. Findings of this research were compared against risk management factors included in the risk assessment process adopted by a major truck insurer. When t...
