The RAMS group focuses on three four areas of research:

  1. Reliability

...

  1. Assessment of Safety-Critical Systems - especially safety-instrumented systems such as emergency shutdown systems, fire and gas systems, and automatic train control.
  2. Reliability Engineering - where reliability analyses and reliability considerations are integrated into the design and development process of new systems
  3. Risk-based maintenance planning - developing methods and plans to prevent accidents caused by lack of, or erroneously performed maintenance.
  4. New methods for risk analysis - with emphasis on modeling socio-technical systems in risk analyses in the operational phase, where results are used in operational decision-making.

The research activities are of three categories:

  • Basic research without external funding
  • Basic and applied research mainly based on PhD projects
  • Externally funded research projects (e.g., funded by the EU, the Norwegian Research Council, and joint industry projects.)Risk-based maintenance planning - developing methods and plans to prevent accidents caused by lack of, or erroneously performed maintenance.
