Sui, Zhongyi (author), Wen, Yuanqiao (author), Huang, Yamin (author), Song, R. (author), Piera, Miquel Angel (author)The theoretical analysis of maritime accidents is a hot topic, but the time characteristics and dynamics of maritime accidents time series are still unclear. It is difficult to draw a clear conclusion from the cause analysis, so the accident is difficult to be predicted. To bridge this gap, this research analyzes the characteristics and...journal article 2023

Tyagi, Alok (author), Tripathi, Rajesh (author), Bouarfa, S. (author)In the last decade, the aircraft maintenance industry has experienced a paradigm shift in safety management. This is primarily due to the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) in its business practices. The critical facet of such SMS recognizes hazards ahead of time. This review aims to undertake scholarly research to enable the...review 2023

Li, M. (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Chen, Pengfei (author), Chen, Linying (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Regional risk analysis and management of maritime accidents is one of the fundamental tasks for maritime safety management. With the heavy and complicated maritime traffic in the ports and waterways, accidents, especially ship collision accidents, have been continuously posing threats to the maritime transportation system. To achieve effective...journal article 2023

Liu, Zhihao (author), Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)In order to identify and clarify the association between the factors leading to accidents in a petrochemical tank area, this study analyzes investigation reports of 212 petrochemical tank farm accidents and combines this with the “association rule” mining and science related to complex networks. The main risk factors are determined and a risk...journal article 2023

Bai, Mingqi (author), Qi, Meng (author), Shu, Chi Min (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Khan, Faisal (author), Chen, Chao (author), Liu, Yi (author)As an important consideration in the chemical industry, chemical process safety has received notable attention in China. However, catastrophic chemical accidents still occur. To better understand why accidents continue to occur, this paper presented a diagnostic analysis of 14 major chemical accidents in China from 2012 to 2022 based on...journal article 2023

Pascoletti, G. (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Molenbroek, J.F.M. (author), Zanetti, E. M. (author)Human computer models represent a useful tool for investigating the human body response to external static/dynamic loads or for human-centred design. Articulated Total Body (ATB) models are the simplest human multibody models, where body segments are represented by ellipsoids joined at skeletal articulations. Over the years, regression models...journal article 2023

Nguyen, M. (author), Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy Quy (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Objective: The rapid development of information technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in the proliferation of online food shopping and food delivery motorcyclists. In contrast to the relatively ample literature on factors influencing fatalities and risky riding behaviors of food delivery motorcyclists, little is known about the...journal article 2023

Yang, Fuqiang (author), Li, Xin (author), Yuan, S. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Targeting the challenges in the risk analysis of laboratory fire accidents, particularly considering fire accidents in Chinese universities, an integrated approach is proposed with the combination of association rule learning, a Bayesian network (BN), and fuzzy set theory in this study. The proposed approach has the main advantages of deriving...journal article 2023

Swuste, P.H.J.J. (author), Schmitz, P.J.H. (author), van Nunen, K.L.L. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Safety visualisations and their influences on safety concepts are presented. Visualisations like safety posters show a clear message of fear and guilt. This changes after World War II, due to a more tolerant atmosphere. Latent, organisational factors as decisive elements of accident processes appear in visualisations. An example shows a method...book chapter 2023

Schumann, J.F. (author), Kober, J. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Autonomous vehicles currently suffer from a time-inefficient driving style caused by uncertainty about human behavior in traffic interactions. Accurate and reliable prediction models enabling more efficient trajectory planning could make autonomous vehicles more assertive in such interactions. However, the evaluation of such models is...journal article 2023

(author)Natural gas pipeline construction is developing rapidly worldwide to meet the needs of international and domestic energy transportation. Meanwhile, leakage accidents occur to natural gas pipelines frequently due to mechanical failure, personal operation errors, etc., and induce huge economic property loss, environmental damages, and even...journal article 2023

Landré, Daniël (author)The rapid adoption of e-bikes as an alternative mode of transportation to automobiles gives rise to new methods of safety regulations for cyclists. Modern e-bikes feature Internet of Things (IoT) modules capable of collecting and sending cycling data that can be used for traffic safety analysis. This study explores the potential of using cycling...master thesis 2022

Bauer, Yorrick (author)A loss of vacuum accident in the hyperloop tunnel will likely occur during its operation, and it may have a severe impact on its operational safety. Nevertheless, the hyperloop tube breach has only been researched superficially.<br/><br/>Two aerodynamic phenomena due to the breach are identified: a (quasi-)steady underexpanded jet and an...master thesis 2022

Kopiarová, Dominika (author)A fascination with obsolescence as an inherent landscape condition lies at the core of a project that thematically focuses on fundamental scientific inquiry in reference to the Big Science. It stems from the preconceived tensions between the notions of progress versus obsolescence and progress versus accident. <br/><br/>The former is a result of...master thesis 2022
