ONLINE PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT OF COMPLEX MARINE SYSTE IBD

Sinopse

This book proposes a new approach to dynamic and online risk assessment of automated and autonomous marineásystems, taking into account different environmental and operational conditions. The book presents lessons learnt from dynamic positioning incidents and accidents, and discusses the challenges of risk assessment of complex systems.The book begins by introducing dynamicáand online risk assessment, before presenting automated and autonomous marine systems, as well as numerous dynamic positioning incidents. It then discusses human interactions with technology and explores how to quantify human error. Dynamic probabilistic risk assessment and online risk assessment are both considered fully, including case studies with the application of assisting operators in decision making in emergency situations. Finally, areas for future research are suggested.This practical volume offers tools and methodologies to help operators make better decisions and improve the safety of automatedáand autonomous marine systems. It providesáa guideline for researchersáand practitioners to perform dynamic probabilistic and online risk assessment, which also should be applicable to other complex systems outside the marine and maritime domain, such as nuclear power plants, chemical processes, autonomous transport systems, and space shuttles.
