Integrated Impact Model on Critical Infrastructure Safety Related to Its Operation Process

The main objective of this paper is to present recently developed, the general safety analytical models of complex multistate technical systems related to their operation processes and to apply them practically to critical infrastructures. To realize this goal, the integrated model of critical infrastructure safety related to its operation process is proposed. The basic safety characteristics of this model are presented as the very practically significant. Furthermore, the unconditional safety functions of systems with different safety structures are determined under assumption that their safety functions are exponential. In case of the critical infrastructure safety analysis, its safety function and risk function which graph corresponds to the fragility curve, its mean lifetime up to the exceeding a critical safety state, the moment when its risk function value exceeds the acceptable safety level, the component and critical infrastructure intensities of ageing/degradation and the coefficients of operation impact on component and critical infrastructure intensities of ageing are defined.
