SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK FOR THE APPROACH: COMPUTER AIDED SAFETY INTEGRATION IN DESIGN PROCESS (CASID)

摘要

Nowadays, safety is often integrated at too late a stage in the design process of complex systems, such as machines or production lines. In most cases, this integration is made on an individual basis without any systematic method. Moreover, there are very few computer-aided software packages that allow the integration of safety aspects into the design process. In this paper, we present propositions of a model working situation using (UML). This model is implemented by prototype software called Computer Aided Safety Integration in Design process (CASID). The CASID approach is founded on a database in which all previous data generated by the designer using CASID is stored; furthermore, the software allows communication between designers in order to solve safety problems.
