AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim of the course is providing models and tools for the assessment of safety and security aspects in the context of transport and logistic systems through the application of different alternative methodologies. In particular, at the end of the course the student will be able to apply both combinatorial methods and state-based ones for RAMS (Reliability Availability Maintainability and Safety) analysis and risk assessment.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course the student will have 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, before the lesson) on the various topics of the course and, in some cases, he uses the blackboard to explain in detail some specific contents.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

  • Safety/reliability principles
    • FN diagrams
  • Application of probability theory
    • Detection of events
  • Combinatorial methods for safety/reliability engineering
    • Fault tree analysis (FTA) and Event tree analysis (ETA)
    • Bayesian networks
  • State-space methods for safety/reliability engineering
    • Petri net models and applications
    • Markov chain models and applications

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of an oral test.

Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The student's assessment is carried out through an oral test in which the student is asked to illustrate (on the blackboard) the theoretical topics of the course and to solve (on the blackboard) some exercises. The student must demonstrate that he/she has acquired a sufficient knowledge of the topics illustrated in class and that he/she is able to solve simple problems of modeling and analysis of transport systems from the safety and security points of view.
