文摘

A novel methodology to quantify the benefit of investing in safety measures for pipelines is proposed. The methodology relies in an infernce system that estimates the value of the risk using the possibility theory of the fuzzy logic, with the aim to deal efficiently with the uncertainty of the data. Combination of the techniques of fuzzy risk assessment and cost benefit analysis to improve the decision making process in the safety management of pipelines.
