AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim of the course is providing the basic models and tools for RAMS (Reliability Availability Maintainability and Safety) analysis and risk assessment of passengers and freight transport modes, as well as the design of the relevant mitigation actions.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course the student has acquired the fundamental notions for the assessment of safety and security aspects in the context of transport systems through the application of different alternative methodologies.

TEACHING METHODS

The course takes place in a classroom. During the lessons, the professor shows slides (which are made available to the students through Aulaweb, in general before the lesson) on the various topics of the course and, in some cases, he uses the blackboard to explain in detail sono specific contents.
