Definitions for Safety Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Some attention has been paid to defining all the terms used, even some commonplace terms which either have or need to be assigned a technical meaning, to eliminate ambiguity. The definition of a term may usually be found in proximity to its first use, after that use (that is, the presentation style is “lazy” rather than “greedy”). Commonplace words used with commonplace meanings are left undefined.

A Note on Runway Capacity Definition and Safety
The following is a discussion on the different aspects of the term capacity as well as a brief look at the commonly used capacity definitions in industrial and operations engineering in general and in Civil Aviation in particular. We maintain that quality factors (including more specifically here, safety) must be explicitly considered in runway capacity definition, and accordingly, we provide a...

متن کاملSystemic resilience model
It has been realized that resilience as a concept involves several contradictory definitions, both for instance resilience as agile adjustment and as robust resistance to situations. Our analysis of resilience concepts and models suggest that beyond simplistic definitions, it is possible to draw up a systemic resilience model (SyRes) that maintains these opposing characteristics without contrad...
متن کاملThe SEMA referential framework: Avoiding ambiguities in the terms "security" and "safety"
The meaning of the terms “security” and “safety” varies considerably from one context to another, leading to potential ambiguities. These ambiguities are very problematic in the critical infrastructure protection domain, which involves multiple actors and engineering disciplines. Avoiding misunderstandings caused by the ambiguities during the early stages of system design and risk assessment ca...
