Overcoming Obstacles to System Safety in the Surface Modes of Transportation 700650
The benefits of system safety are recognized and widely used in military and NASA aerospace fields, but the national need for system safety is primarily in the surface modes. An organization chart for system safety is used to discuss application problems in the surface modes from diffuse organization historical non-systematic development, and barriers to communication or control. Favorable developments in system organization and steps to promote applications of system safety are discussed.
