“…Article [7] presented methods of risk management during transportation of dangerous goods by road and air transport [8] that points to the relevance of the problem, given the increasing proportion of DG in the total freight transported. The approaches considered in [7,8] apply standard mathematical modeling methods. The issue on the consequences of emergencies involving DG are more complex and require a comprehensive approach taking into consideration the large number of factors that affect the results obtained.…”

Запропоновано метод оцiнювання наслiдкiв аварiйних ситуацiй з небезпечними вантажами при перевезеннi їх залiзничним транспортом. Метод заснований на формуваннi комплексного критерiю, який враховує фактори впливу на величину ризику, що, в свою чергу, залежить вiд певної композицiї составу вантажного поїзду з небезпечними вантажами. В якостi критерiю обрано умовну впевненiсть виникнення бiльш значних наслiдкiв в результатi аварiйної ситуацiї. Критерiй залежить вiд: кiлькостi груп вагонiв з небезпечними вантажами в составi поїзда, що формується; загальної кiлькостi вагонiв з небезпечними вантажами. Також вплив на критерiй мають: ступiнь небезпеки групи, до якої вiднесено вагони з небезпечними вантажами та кiлькiсть випадкiв сумiсного розташування вагонiв рiзних груп небезпеки. Встановлено, що значення факторiв постiйно змiнюються, тому їх описано за допомогою апарату нечiткої логiки та нечiтких множин. Використання такого апарату дозволило комплексно виявити взаємний вплив цих факторiв на бiльш безпечний варiант формування составу поїзда на сортувальних станцiях. Моделювання можливих ситуацiй дозволило зробити висновок про вiдповiднiсть величини значень вхiдних нечiтких параметрiв величинi значення умовної впевненостi виникнення бiльш значних наслiдкiв в результатi аварiйної ситуацiї. Отриманi результати логiчно свiдчать про виникнення бiльш значних наслiдкiв при наявностi в составi поїзда максимальних значень нечiтких змiнних, середнiхпри середнiх значеннях, а мiнiмальних наслiдкiв при найменших значеннях нечiтких змiнних. Визначено взаємозв'язки нечiтких вхiдних даних, аналiз яких довiв, що при збiльшеннi значення будь-яких нечiтких параметрiв (та їх комбiнацiй) зростає загальне значення величини умовної впевненостi виникнення бiльш значних наслiдкiв в результатi аварiйної ситуацiїКлючовi слова: небезпечнi вантажi, умовна впевненiсть, нечiтка логiка, аварiйна ситуацiя, оцiнка ризикiв UDC 656.222.3

“…Various failures are divided into active ones and latent ones, where the former addresses front-line operators' failures while the latter are more dominant in the HFACS framework. It is obvious that the HFACS framework ( Figure 1) has built a bridge between theory and practice by accommodating human factors in aviation in a more systematic way [29,30]. The model considers all aspects of human errors, including the conditions of operators and organizational failures.…”

Safety is crucial to ensure the sustainability of aviation growth. To better clarify the influences of human factors on aviation accident risks, this study developed a hybrid HFACS-BN model (HFACS: Human Factors Analysis and Classification System; BN: Bayesian Network). The authors designed and implemented a questionnaire survey based on the four-level HFACS framework and collected valid data from 180 out of 649 aviation professionals working in the Ulaanbaatar International Airport, Mongolian in 2017. The model identified 35 major human factors out of 129 factors. The model validation was performed in terms of content validity and predictive validity. The results showed that even though a majority of respondents perceived that many human factors had a middle-or high-effect on aviation accident risks, the probability of the risks caused by human factors was estimated to be just 1.37%. The Unsafe Acts level is most influential to the risks among the four levels, while the Unsafe Supervision level contributes least. It is revealed that enhancing aviation professionals' awareness of human factors should make full use of causal chaining effects among human factors. Finally, this study contributes to the literature from the perspectives of both methodological development and important empirical analysis.Sustainability 2018, 10, 4522 2 of 20 considered to be more than 80% [4]. Various efforts have been made to improve aviation safety by eliminating human errors, and globally, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has always been devoted to improving human factors research achievements and adapting the latest ones into the aviation industry.The history of aviation safety experienced the era of technical factors from the early 1900s to late 1960s, and that of human factors from the early 1970s to mid-1990s, respectively. Recently, organizational factors have become a new concern and safety tends to be viewed from a systemic perspective, including both human and organizational factors as well as other factors [5]. Under this background, an effective tool namely Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) was developed and it has been widely applied in aviation operation systems. However, challenges remain since HFACS is a theoretical framework and should be examined based on detailed quantitative data under different contexts. In recent years, research on human factors in aviation has been facing new challenges with the improvement of advanced technologies. In addition, commercial airplanes have adopted three crew members instead of two, and the flight environment has become more and more complicated. Compared with traditional mechanical tools, electronic ones have been widely applied and proven to be more effective.Previous studies have focused on searching for the origin of aviation accidents, but neglected professional opinions from experienced investigators or operators [6,7]. New theories and methodologies for human factors in aviation have been proposed, such as the SHEL (Software, Hardwa...

“…Industrial and scientific processes offer enormous promise to contemporary society but often result in unusable and potentially dangerous byproducts. These substances, often dubbed hazardous materials, present enormous logistical challenges for organizations that need to dispose of them without subjecting human populations and the environment to undue risk [1][2][3]. Waste is often categorized as hazardous if it meets any of four common criteria: ignitability, corrosiveness, reactivity, or toxicity [4].…”

Many key industrial and scientific processes, such as the generation of nuclear energy, are of enormous social benefit as energy demand and consumption grow over time. However, a drawback of several such processes is the production of hazardous waste materials, which often requires transportation along highway networks to treatment or disposal facilities. This waste can represent a safety hazard to civilians located along the transportation route. Most prior literature in this domain considers risk within only a single facet, and thus several important risk factors may not be considered. In our paper, we propose a multi-objective program to allow for the analysis and selection of minimally risky routes for hazardous materials transportation. The model assesses risk factors including the length of the selected route, the total population in areas surrounding the selected route, and the likelihood of an accident occurring along the selected route. Our paper uniquely uses geographic information systems (GIS) technology to model this optimization problem. This approach allows us to model risk along multiple dimensions simultaneously. We collect empirical data to test the model and present a case study for risk mitigation using a study area located in California. We show that our multi-objective approach is effective in presenting the decision-maker with a portfolio of solutions that perform well via each factor.
