abstract

this study focused on the public transport risk assessment in district one of ​​tehran through fault tree analysis involving the three criteria of human, vehicle and road in haddon matrix. in fact, it examined the factors contributing to the occurrence of road accidents at several urban black spots within district 1. relying on road safety checklists and survey of experts, this study made an effort to help urban managers to assess the risks in the public transport and prevent road accidents. finally, the risk identification and assessment of public transport in district one yielded several results to answer the research questions. the hypotheses analysis suggested that safety issues involved in public transport are concerned by urban managers. the key reactive measures are investigation of accidents, identification of causes and correction of black spots. in addition to high costs, however, the reactive measures give rise to multiple operational problems such as traffic navigation and guaranteeing user safety in every operation. the case study highlighted the same fact. the macro-level management in the metropolis of tehran is critical. the urban road casualties and losses can be curtailed by preventive measures such as continuous assessment of road safety.

Application of Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis in Risk Assessment of Ammonia Tank Explosion Scenario

Introduction: Chemical industries often have risks for the environment and communities, due to the use of complex facilities and processes. Also, in the ammonia tanks, the probability of risk of explosion is high, owing to their specific characteristics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risks of explosion scenario at the ammonia tank in the Kermanshah petrochemical complex Material and...

Fuzzy fault tree analysis: revisited

This talk will review two case studies that examine the effectiveness of using Fuzzy Top Event Probability (FTEP) over the conventional approach. Case study one relates to flash vessel in an ammonia tank, while in case study two ,using fuzzy set theory, the FTEP has been estimated for the existing ammonia storage tank in a large fertilizer complex located in Mumbai, India. In addition, a new fo...

Advancing Dynamic Fault Tree Analysis

This paper presents a new state space generation approach for dynamic fault trees (DFTs) together with a technique to synthesise failures rates in DFTs. Our state space generation technique aggressively exploits the DFT structure — detecting symmetries, spurious non-determinism, and don’t cares. Benchmarks show a gain of more than two orders of magnitude in terms of state space generation and a...

Error assessment in man-machine systems using the CREAM method and human-in-the-loop fault tree analysis

Background and Objectives: Despite contribution to catastrophic accidents, human errors have been generally ignored in the design of human-machine (HM) systems and the determination of the level of automation (LOA). This paper aims to develop a method to estimate the level of automation in the early stage of the design phase considering both human and machine performance. Methods: A quantita...
