Summarizing, wrong assumptions while designing safety features, cruising in an uncertain and dynamic environment, while blatantly carrying out operational misuse are the prime suspects for the fall of the giant. I call them “The Usual Suspects” as they are still persistent to challenge safety in today’s systems.

A five-day primer in systems safety engineering

What was considered mere science fiction a few decades ago is quickly becoming a tangible reality: self-driving cars have been hailed as a mobility revolution in the making which will potentially improve safety, accessibility and efficiency.

Pursuing a PhD is a once in a lifetime experience. Motivation and passion, while balancing mind and health, are key elements for success.

Tianlei Miao is part of the MSCA ETN-SAS Project as an Early Stage Researcher. The topic of this project is “Assuring Autonomous Sailing from A to B while Minimizing Operational Costs”. The aim is to minimize operational costs by combining a cost-optimization algorithm, a collision-avoidance algorithm, and situational awareness. This research will be conducted at RH Marine and in collaboration ...

On Friday the 4th of October, Orian Dheu (ESR15) had the opportunity to present the SAS project as well as his research orientations during a poster session that took place during the Centre for IT & IP law’s celebratory event in Leuven (Belgium). He was able to promote the project as well as engage in fruitful conversations with other participants. ...
