In order to effectively compare the elements of safety management system
and different management options, a detailed view about the current
state of the system is needed. In addition, risk assessment based on
realistic traffic growth scenarios, accident probabilities and their likely
consequences are essential to evaluate the options.
The objective is to study and compare the effect of different
management actions to avoid accidents, giving insight to the costeffectiveness of these measures. Based on the modeling work, the most
effective measures will be identified, and possible new recommendations
will be presented.
One of the new and specific aims of the project is to view the problem both
form the point of private companies and society and to try to find ways how
society can influence the private activities in most effective way to
decrease the risks.
A totally new element is to link the safety and security issues, where
the same actions can support both interests, and same methodology can be
used to assess the risks.
The main deliverables are a) Integrative Probabilistic Model for comparing
the management actions, and b) SmartResponse Web application for
decision analysis and support.
