Learning outcomes
|
The goal of the subject is to get students acquaint with theoretical rudiments of safety in general and safety ensuring by electronic systems. Next goal is to give basic information about components of signalling systems in medium level of detail and the most basic information about control-command and signalling systems.
After passage the final examination, student should have an ability of critical approach for assessment and acceptation of risk; have knowledge of inherent, composite, and reactive safety. He or she should also keep track of constituents of signalling systems and a basic information about control-command and signalling systems.
