A Communication Tool Between Designers and Accidentologists for the Development of Safety Systems

Designers and accidentologists have to collaborate in order to develop new safety systems. Accidentologists recognize Accident Scenario as a powerful tool to provide designers with the required knowledge about accident. However, an accident scenario has to be presented in a way that both designers and accidentologists can understand and use. The fact that designers and accidentologists do not share the same viewpoints, neither the same models to analyze an accident, nor the same technical language makes their communication a complex task in a design process. To address this issue, we use the systemic approach (a complex system modelling approach) to develop a new methodology allowing constructing multi-view accident scenarios.
