In the occupational accident analysis, identification of the interrelationships of the factors behind the accidents is very important. To explore the relationships or the impacts of the causal factors on the accidents and to predict the incident outcomes i.e., injury, near miss, and property damage cases, Bayesian Network (BN) model is used in this paper. The proposed model is validated using the...
• An exhaustive overview of the shipboard power system types, architectures, and load analysis • Various bus configurations, distribution schemes, and notable standards were discussed • Various energy storage devices and hybrid energy storage systems were introduced for their strengths in supporting shipboard power system load profiles • 4 unique control schemes to support a hybrid DC microgrid while...
With the development of cultural level, the traditional tourism has not meet the needs of the development of the people. The development of traditional tourist scenic areas has been affected by the technology and the cloud computing, so we need continuous innovation and development, it can bring the new experience of the tourist. In this paper, from the angle of tourist, scenic, government, we will...
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) act as important safety barriers in industrial systems for preventing hazardous accidents. It is therefore significant to study the reliability issues of SIS. As a matter of fact, SIS have common behaviors such as periodic test policies to discover dangerous undetected failures. Modeling patterns capitalize the experience from modeling SIS. By reusing modeling patterns,...
The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework to use Assurance Case methodology for Industrial IoT systems (IIoT). To achieve a general goal we discuss the three following issues. Firstly, a brief analysis of state-of-the-art researches and resources in area of Assurance Case is done. Secondly, we discuss specific components for IIoT Assurance Case with focus on Security Assurance. Thirdly,...
International Standardization Committee of SICE ensures to share latest information of International Standardization in the field of measurement, control and automation among industry and academia, and considers relationship of SICE and our contributions. We have organized session on international standardization every annual conference, and selected update topics and introduced important theme by...
Every company (including machinery manufacturing and construction companies) leads to increase its activities' profitability and to improve quality performance indicators, such as processes operating and safety culture, safety level, human resources satisfaction level, and goodwill. Lean manufacturing and lean construction (derivative of lean manufacturing) enable to reach these goals. The article...
Studies in the field of transport security are aimed more at finding new technical and technological solutions directly related to transport and the development of transport infrastructure. The authors of the work decided to look at the process of ensuring transport safety on a different plane-creating a model for assessing the processes presented at the territorial level. The assessment provides...
In this paper example of architecture system for examination existing devices for visual perception of the environment in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is analyzed and presented. An overview of modern testing techniques as well as the motivation for such a device development arises from the specific testing conditions, increased volume of testing embedded software and applied algorithms as well...
The Black Box concept in automotive industry is adopted from aviation industry and is mandatory in some countries. In developing countries like India, this system is not commercialized because of the unavailability of norms from the government. But, with the growing demand of vehicles and adaption of new emission standard by the government, more safety systems will be the need of near future and this...
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has enabled Industry 4.0 as a new manufacturing paradigm. The envisioned future of Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories is to be highly configurable and composed mainly of the `things' that are expected to come with some, often partial, assurance guarantees. However, many factories are categorised as safety-critical, e.g. due to the use of heavy machinery or hazardous substances...
Safety instrumented system (SIS) is widely applied to reduce or prevent risk in industry. Practical SIS commonly meets with epistemic uncertainty arising from incompleteness of knowledge on various input parameters due to lack of data. Epistemic uncertainty can be reduced by collecting more knowledge or data. Epistemic uncertainty in input parameters can lead to variation in probability of failure...
With the current trend of introducing networking capabilities into traditional industries, Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are increasingly targeted by cyber-attacks. Especially with the progression of introducing the industry 4.0 paradigm to sectors that until now worked with strictly sealed environments, new attack surfaces are brought to the attention of cyber-criminals that already possess...
The aim of this paper is present a comparative study examining the learning experiences of undergraduate students in the power engineering field, which have been designed to improve their employability following graduation. In particular, this paper will focus on using micro-work based learning to overcome threshold concepts. This paper describes an action based approach to look at the level of undergraduate...
Industrie 4.0 offers a new vision for the factories of the future. In these factories of the future safety will be critical. Functional safety addresses confidence that a piece of equipment will carry out its safety functionality when required to do so. It is an active form of safety in contrast to other forms of safety. Integrated circuits are fundamental in the implementation of functional safety...
Industry 4.0 considers integration of IT and control systems with physical objects, software, sensors and connectivity in order to optimize manufacturing processes. It provides advanced functionalities in control and communication for an infrastructure that handles multiple tasks in various locations automatically. Automatic actions require information from trustworthy sources. Thus, this work is...
Industrial functional safety managers claim that there is no safety (S) without quality (Q) possible. The contribution is to make aware of the importance of standards and the compliance with processes. An overview of relevant functional safety analysis activities is given based on industrial experience in the area of automotive and railway. Even though these methods and software development processes...
The synthesis of technology and the medical industry has partly contributed to the increasing interest in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (MCPS). While these systems provide benefits to patients and professionals, they also introduce new attack vectors for malicious actors (e.g. financially-and/or criminally-motivated actors). A successful breach involving a MCPS can impact patient data and system...
A new generation of medical devices emerges to supportincreasingly more complex medical decisions and procedures.These Medical Devices (MD) combine data fromnovel sensors and existing modalities like scanners withelaborate software processing to assist caregivers in the sameway Flight Management Systems help a pilot flying planes.For instance, Blue Ortho’s MD allows performing TotalKnee Arthroplasty...
