An Examination Of Commercial Motor Vehicle Hours Of Service Safety Regulation, Jason R. Anderson
An Examination Of Commercial Motor Vehicle Hours Of Service Safety Regulation, Jason R. Anderson
Theses and Dissertations
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) stipulates Hours of Service (HOS) regulations in order to minimize or eliminate fatigued truck driving, a major cause of truck-related accidents. This research examines the efficacy of HOS with three unique research approaches: 1) a typology classification model to indicate differences in HOS regulation from other safety regulations, 2) an exhaustive enumeration method utilizing the theoretical foundation of perishable inventory theory, and 3) a statistical analysis on accidents caused by or involving truck drivers. This research provides insight into similar Air Force Instructions regarding flight-time restrictions for pilots, which attempt to prevent flying …

Online Monitoring And Accident Diagnosis Aid System For The Nur Nuclear Research Reactor, Amina Nasrine Allalou, Mohamed Tadjine, Mohamed Seghir Boucherit
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper deals with the design of a computerized monitoring and diagnosis aid system (CMDAS) for the Nur Nuclear Research Reactor based on real-time plant-specific safety parameters. The CMDAS carries out early detection and identification of accidents that might affect this reactor using supervised neural networks. The graphical programming language LabVIEW is used for creating a human--operator interface, networking, embedding the diagnosis procedure, and handling and storing the data. The methodology presented in this paper can be adapted for any nuclear research reactor.
