Presidential Young Investigators Award -Large-Scale Technological Systems Safety, Operations and Earthquake

这项拨款是总统青年研究员奖的第一年。研究的重点是减轻地震灾害，并将考虑工程和管理两个方面。研究计划的目标是双重的：首先，通过应用系统分析方法，它将调查影响此类操作风险和安全的代表性人类技术系统的主要组件和子系统的作用、功能和相互作用。二是确定所需的干预策略，包括系统安全改进、人为因素考虑、采用更具响应性的管理方法和适应性的组织设计，使系统能够响应和控制地震引起的干扰。

This grant is for the first year of a Presidential Young Investigator Award. The focus of the research is on earthquake hazard mitigation and will consider both engineering and managerial aspects. The objective of the research plan is twofold: First, by applying systems analysis methodologies, it is to investigate the role, functions, and interactions of the major components and subsystems of representative human-technological systems which affect the risk and safety of such operations. Second, is to identify the needed intervention strategies, including system safety improvements, human factors considerations, and adoption of more responsive managerial methods and adaptive organizational designs to enable the system to respond and control the earthquake-caused disturbances.
