The information technology method for the monitoring of the potentially hazardous objects

Abstract

The method of monitoring at the potentially hazardous objects is described. The situation (the state of the object and its environment) is determined by the set of independent factor values that influence the probabilities of the specific types of hazard. The method is based on the monitoring function that characterizes the degree of situation abnormalities. It allows to rank the situations according to the hazard degree. The adjustment of the monitoring session provides the possibility to control the process of preliminary assessment. As a result, the general efficiency of the Automated System for Checking, Analysis, and Prevention of Accidents can be enhanced due to the separation of the normal and quasi-normal situations. That would allow the users to concentrate their attention on the extreme situations and on the suspect situations, which could turn into the extreme ones.
