Artificial Neural Networks–Modern Systems for Safety Control

Abstract

A short review o f the app lica tio n s of a rtificia l neural networks in different fields of industry w ith a description of their main properties is made. Such systems have specific properties typical for the human brain, w hich can decide on the superiority of artificial neural networks over standard control systems. Basic types of such networks as well as their principles of operation and successful ap plica tio n s are described. The a p plication of artificial neural networks in safety engineering is discussed w ith stress on their special properties, w hich are necessary in safety critical systems.artificial neural networks safety control
