“…Correlation analysis is a mathematical method which discovers whether there is dependence among different factors and how strong it is. Without the loss of generality, taking the correlation analysis of two groups of data as an example, correlation coefficient r is used to describe the correlation degree between them, and it can be either positive or negative [37]. Given two groups of variables X and Y, and then the correlation coefficient can be calculated as follows.…”

This paper develops a decision-making model to assist the improvement of the carrying capacity of ship locks by combing fuzzy logic, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS). A three-level hierarchical structure is constructed to identify the key factors influencing the carrying capacity of ship locks from the aspects of ship locks, vessels, environment, and administration. On this basis, a series of targeted strategies have been put forward to improve the carrying capacity of ship locks, and the TOPSIS method is applied to rank these strategies in terms of their performance. A case study of the five-stage dual-track ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam in China has been conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and rationality of the proposed model, and correlation analysis is conducted to verify the identified influencing factors in order to eliminate potential bias which may be generated from using AHP. The results obtained from the proposed methods are consistent with the real-life situation to a certain extent, indicating that the proposed method can provide a useful reference for improving the carrying capacity of ship locks.

“…(5) The former includes brainstorming, interviewing, Delphi's technique, the comprehensive fuzzy evaluation method (CFEM), safety checking lists, and others; whereas the latter includes fault tree analysis (FTA), event tree analysis (ETA), the job risk analysis method (LEC), neural networks, support vector machines, decision trees, and others. The above risk-based analysis methods make a significant contribution to safety assessment and management in complex engineering projects; (6)(7)(8)(9) however, they are confined to static control management. (10) Khakzad et al (11) indicated FTA was unsuitable for complex problems due to its limitation in explicitly representing the dependencies of events, updating probabilities, and coping with uncertainties.…”

Towards a Fuzzy Bayesian Network Based Approach for Safety Risk Analysis of Tunnel‐Induced Pipeline Damage

et al. 2015

Tunneling excavation is bound to produce significant disturbances to surrounding environments, and the tunnel-induced damage to adjacent underground buried pipelines is of considerable importance for geotechnical practice. A fuzzy Bayesian networks (FBNs) based approach for safety risk analysis is developed in this article with detailed step-by-step procedures, consisting of risk mechanism analysis, the FBN model establishment, fuzzification, FBN-based inference, defuzzification, and decision making. In accordance with the failure mechanism analysis, a tunnel-induced pipeline damage model is proposed to reveal the cause-effect relationships between the pipeline damage and its influential variables. In terms of the fuzzification process, an expert confidence indicator is proposed to reveal the reliability of the data when determining the fuzzy probability of occurrence of basic events, with both the judgment ability level and the subjectivity reliability level taken into account. By means of the fuzzy Bayesian inference, the approach proposed in this article is capable of calculating the probability distribution of potential safety risks and identifying the most likely potential causes of accidents under both prior knowledge and given evidence circumstances. A case concerning the safety analysis of underground buried pipelines adjacent to the construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel is presented. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed FBN approach and its application potential. The proposed approach can be used as a decision tool to provide support for safety assurance and management in tunnel construction, and thus increase the likelihood of a successful project in a complex project environment.

“…Instead, they can be used with good results in non industrial environments. In the international literature there are some contributions about risk assessment for fishing vessels [1], using the check-lists method, or for large transport networks and urban systems [2]. Other authors [3] developed a qualitative assessment model based on the European guidelines RAPEX, used for food quality and safety assurance.…”

Proposal of a quali-quantitative assessment model for health and safety in small and medium enterprises

The identification, assessment and reduction of risks is one of the most important elements of health and safety at work. Nowadays, safety at work is becoming an Italian and a globally relevant ethical and technical problem. Risk can be assessed with different methods: qualitative, quantitative or quali-quantitative; while qualitative models are often too simplistic, in turn many times quantitative models are difficult to implement in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The aim of this work is to present a new practical assessment model that tries to overcome the mentioned difficulties. Beyond its description, the paper also proposes an application study made in an international firm production plant to validate its results.
