Conditional respect towards the pedestrian: difference between men and women and risk modeling by the Bayesian approach

Gaymard, Sandrine; Tiplica, Teodor - In: Quality & Quantity: International Journal of Methodology 48 (2014) 1, pp. 91-110

Research in the field of social representations and of norm conditionality has enabled the construction of specific tools such as the conditional script questionnaire (CSQ) and the use of various methods of analysis. The first aim of this study is to show the differences of conditionality...

Analysis of human risks due to dam-break floods—part 1: a new model based on Bayesian networks

Peng, M.; Zhang, L. - In: Natural Hazards 64 (2012) 1, pp. 903-933

Dam breaks have catastrophic consequences for human lives. This paper presents a new human risk analysis model (HURAM) using Bayesian networks for estimating human risks due to dam-break floods. A Bayesian network is constructed according to a logic structure of loss-of-life mechanisms. The...

Analysis of human risks due to dam break floods—part 2: application to Tangjiashan landslide dam failure

Peng, M.; Zhang, L. - In: Natural Hazards 64 (2012) 2, pp. 1899-1923

The Tangjiashan landslide dam was formed during the Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 and posed high risks to 1.2 million people downstream the dam. A human risk analysis model (HURAM) reported in the companion paper is applied to evaluate the human risk in the Tangjiashan landslide dam...
