Exploring the Efficiency of Future Multimodal Networks: A Door-to-Door Case in Europe

It is expected that future transportation technologies will positively impact how passengers travel to their destinations. Europe aims to integrate air transport into the overall multimodal transport network to ...

Trade-offs in the landside operations of air cargo hubs: Horizontal cooperation and shipment consolidation policies considering capacitated nodes

Landside operations in air cargo terminals consist of many freight forwarders (FFWs) delivering and picking up cargo at the capacity-constrained loading docks at the airport's ground handlers' (GHs) facilities. To ...

An End-to-End Pipeline for Uncertainty Quantification and Remaining Useful Life Estimation: An Application on Aircraft Engines

Estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) of an asset lies at the heart of prognostics and health management (PHM) of many operations-critical industries such as aviation. Mod- ern methods of RUL estimation adopt ...

An outline of a concept of operations for integration of ATM and air transport into multimodal transport system for door-to-door travel

In the framework of the research activities supported by SESAR JU, dedicated research stream is devoted to investigation of integration of Air Traffic Management (ATM) and aviation into a wider transport system able ...

Safety differently

This paper presents the findings from a ‘Safety Differently’ (SD) case study in aviation, and specifically in a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisation in Southeast Asia. The goal of the case ...

Measuring safety in aviation

As part of their SMS, aviation service providers are required to develop and maintain the means to verify the safety performance of their organisation and to validate the effectiveness of safety risk controls. ...

Neuroscientific tools in the cockpit:towards a meaningful decision support system for fatigue risk management

Fatigued pilots are prone to experience cognitive disorders that degrade their performance and adherence to high safety standards. In light of the current challenging context in aviation, we report the early phase of ...

Risk assessment

The chapter analyses knowledge management paradigms for the understanding and prioritisation of risks (risk assessment), leading to decision- making amongst policy makers. Studies and approaches on knowledge-based ...

The following research paper is published for The Seventh International Conference on Performance, Safety and Robustness in Complex Systems and Applications. See the content of the paper below.

Can the STAMP Model Serve in Establishing a Common Language?

A symbiotic relationship between human factors and safety scientists is needed to ensure the provision of holistic solutions for problems emerging in modern socio-technical systems. System Theoretic Accident Model ...

Exploring the Diversity in Safety Measurement Practices: Empirical Results from Aviation

A literature review, which was conducted during the research project “Measuring Safety in Aviation – Developing Metrics for Safety Management Systems”, identified several problems and challenges ...

Editorial of the 1st International Cross-Industry Safety Conference proceedings

The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences was proud to organize the 1st International Cross-industry Safety Conference (ICSC) dedicated to both practical and theoretical aspects of safety. The conference ...

How Completely and Similarly Do Safety Authorities Address Hazards Posed by New Technology?

The continuous increase of accident and incident reports has indicated the potential of drones to threaten public safety. The published regulatory framework for small drones is not visibly based on a comprehensive ...

Measuring Safety Through the Distance Between System States with the RiskSOAP Indicator

Modern engineering systems are complex socio-technical structures with a mission to offer services of high quality, while in parallel ensuring profitability for their owners. However, practice has shown that ...

Exploiting data from safety investigations and processes to assess performance of safety management

This paper presents an alternative way to use records from safety investigations as a means to support the evaluation of safety management (SM) aspects. Datasets from safety investigation reports and progress records ...

Safety Culture Development: the Gap Between Industry Guidelines and Literature, and the Differences

Reason’s typology of safety culture (i.e. Just, Informative, Learning, Flexible and Reporting cultures) is widely used in the industry and academia. Through literature review we developed a framework including ...

Do experts agree when assessing risks? An empirical study

Risk matrices have been widely used in the industry under the notion that risk is a product of likelihood by severity of the hazard or safety case under consideration. When reliable raw data are not available to feed ...

Critical review of safety performance metrics

Various tools for safety performance measurement have been introduced in order to fulfil the need for safety monitoring in organisations, which is tightly related to their overall performance and achievement of their ...

Combining Soft System Methodology and Pareto Analysis in Safety Management Performance Assessment

Although reengineering is strategically advantageous for organisations in order to keep functional and sustainable, safety must remain a priority and respective efforts need to be maintained. This paper suggests the ...
