Chemistry also is central for the development of materials and technologies for traffic management sensors (collision avoidance, night vision), instant diagnostics, constant repairing materials (coatings), and silent cars and roads.

The major method of transportation of heavy chemicals is the railroad. Here, rates have gone up rapidly. Gerrit Van Schaick, General Traffic Manager for American Cyanamid, said at a recent MCA Transportation Symposium in Cleveland (I), that since 1947 railroad freight rates have climbed 64% and the cost of freight cars 52%, while in the same period chemical prices have risen less than 10%. It is hard to see that these trends will reverse themselves in the coming decade.

The development of traffic management new technologies offer promising prospects which would optimise the use of road infrastructures by managing traffic flows. This field is extremely vast. It includes ... 

MIDAS Case Study 1 Predicting Flight Crew Performance in the Advanced Air Traffic Management System... 

The MIDAS system has evolved over a period of 15 years of development (Corker and Smith 1992). The basic structure of the core system presented here is based on the work of Tyler et al. (1998). This architectural version of MIDAS has throughout its development been used to evrduate helicopter crew stations, short-haul civil tiltrotor emeigency handling operations, tmd the impact of MOPP flight gear on crew performance (Atendo et al. 1996, 1998 Shively et td. 1995). The spedfic development for analysis of air traffic management systems will be provided below.

Robert Arnold, in a master s thesis for Lund University, conducted a qualitative comparison of SOAM and STAMP in an Air Traffic Management (ATM) occurrence investigation. SOAM (Systemic Occurrence Analysis Methodology) is used by Eurocontrol to analyze ATM incidents. In Arnold s experiment, an incident was investigated using SOAM and STAMP and the usefulness of each in identifying systemic countermeasures was compared. The results showed that SOAM is a useful heuristic and a powerful communication device, but that it is weak with respect to... 

The current chapter first presents some definitions of terms such as values , norms , attitudes and beliefs . It then focuses on how these factors relate to behavioural issues in the context and practice of safety management. Ortwin Renn has already discussed societal norms in relation to policy making by government and industry in Chapter 2 in this volume. In addition to the concept of societal norms, this chapter discusses national culture and how it can influence safety culture in the oil and gas industry. Finally, the chapter compares and contrasts the safety culture of the oil and gas industry with that of another industry, air traffic management (ATM), which is considered to be one the safest industries in the world. The possibility of learning lessons from this high-reliability industry are discussed.
