Using argument structures to create a measurement plan
PublicationWhile planning an experiment the same question always arises: What are the goals of the experiment and which measurements are needed to demonstrate that the goals have been achieved? Deciding about the extent of raw data to be collected, the metrics to be constructed on those data and the interpretation of the metrics with respect to the assumed goals is by no means a trivial task. In this paper we show how a well known Gal-Question-Metrics...

Performance-Driven Surrogate Modeling of High-Frequency Structures
PublicationThe development of modern high-frequency structures, including microwave and antenna components, heavily relies on full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation models. Notwithstanding, EM-driven design entails considerable computational expenses. This is especially troublesome when solving tasks that require massive EM analyzes, parametric optimization and uncertainty quantification be-ing representative examples. The employment of...

Road safety strategy on national roads
PublicationMimo podejmowanych wielu działań w zakresie brd na sieci dróg krajowych w Polsce, rezultaty są dalekie od oczekiwań i zadań postawionych przez Krajowy Program BRD GAMBIT 2005. Można by to tłumaczyć dużym przyrostem liczby pojazdów i wzrostem pracy przewozowej szczególnie na drogach krajowych. Ale porównanie ryzyka występującego na sieci dróg krajowych w Polsce do ryzyka występującego na drogach krajowych najbliższych krajów europejskich...

Road safety management at the strategic level
PublicationZarządzanie ryzykiem jest obecnie jednym z podstawowych narzędzi zarządzania bezpieczeństwem w technice, ekonomii, służbie zdrowia itp. W wielu dziedzinach istnieją unormowane procedury prowadzenia analizy, oceny i redukowania ryzyka. W zarządzaniu bezpieczeństwem ruchu drogowego nie ma powszechnych uregulowań stosowania tej metody zarządzania bezpieczeństwem. Dotychczas dwa zagadnienia zarządzania brd zostały docenione i stały...
