Optimising Cost and Safety by Appropriate Use of European Norms

The Safety Level of Railway Infrastructure and Its Correlation with the Cost of Preventive and Mitigation Measures

This paper develops a methodology which allows the correlation between the cost which is required for the application of preventive and mitigation measures dealing with accidents which occur within a railway system and the improvement of the level of safety as a result from their implementation. The safety level is expressed either quantitatively, by the decrease of “fatality risk” indicator...

The Golden Principle of Ethics and Legal Prevention of Illegal Use of Databases

Background: Collecting data in the form of databases is one of the new methods that has been growing with the advancement of information technology. The use of databases in management and policy-making has created challenges in areas such as privacy breaches and compliance with accepted ethical norms. The increasing use of databases in public and private organizations in Iran has introduced new...

Safety Risks Impacts Analysis on Construction Project Objectives Using a Hybrid Model of Fuzzy Expert System and Latin Hyper Cube Sampling

Background and aims: The construction industry has a high rate of fatal or nonfatal injuries and all around the world which remains one of the most dangerous occupations till now. Since project safety and measuring danger in the construction industry is a crucial subject, so this study aimed to measure the impacts of safety risks on the time and cost objectives of project using a hybrid method ...

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF TIME-COST-SAFETY USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

Safety risk management has a considerable effect on disproportionate injury rate of construction industry, project cost and both labor and public morale. On the other hand time-cost optimization (TCO) may earn a big profit for project stakeholders. This paper has addressed these issues to present a multi-objective optimization model to simultaneously optimize total time, total cost and overall ...
