New Software Platform TOXI+ for Calculating the Consequences and Quantitative Risk Assessment of Accidents in the Field of Industrial, Fire and Environmental Safety


Annotation:

The article presents the main innovations of the TOXI+6 software platform for calculating the consequences of accidents involving hazardous substances and quantitative risk assessment in the field of industrial, fire and environmental safety and the main differences from the TOXI+Risk 5 PC. Plans are given for the future development of the platform, for conducting its beta -testing among users of TOXI+Risk 5 and licensing.

Some of the most significant changes to the TOXI+6 platform in terms of performing calculations are: a general interface for working with plan objects; support for various types of equipment with hazardous substances; the ability to assess the possibility of destruction of objects and injury to people; in this case, the distribution of people can be specified considering the probability of presence in various places of the facility and with reference to the time of their presence in the vicinity of the hazardous facility during the 24-hour day and work week; an expanded list of types of dangerous accident outcomes and hazardous factors; the ability to take into account several options for one accident scenario; taking into account the impact of several hazardous factors on recipients within one scenario (or scenario option), a new system for outputting reporting materials.

New capabilities of the TOXI+6 client-server platform will ensure the most complete automation of the stages of calculating the consequences of accidents and quantitative risk assessment; take into account the new provisions of methodological and regulatory documents of Rostechnadzor, EMERCOM of Russia, etc.; provide support for multi-threaded work for productive computing, cross-platform (compatibility with Linux-based operating systems), collaboration on projects, connection of modules with the required functionality, which will allow to reduce the labor intensity for conducting calculations, reduce the computer time of calculations and the conservatism of the resulting estimates.
