Preface
We used the word active in the title of our book, Active System Control, because we are actively trying to predict the future behaviour of the system, and react accordingly in order to manage the safety and continue the operation of the system being controlled. We used the word system because we create a model of a system, based on an aggregate of models of its elements. It is used to try to predict the parameters of the system’s behaviour. We use the word control because we continually monitor the current situation and adapt the control of the system to make the best of the circumstances. Therefore, Active System Control is the right title, and the abbreviation ASC will be used in the text. In this book we briefly analyse what is required from on-board devices in order to support active system control, that is, what must be done to sustain everyday safe operation and summarise the requirements for this class of devices. We also introduce the new concept of a safety device—the “active black box”— which might be used for aviation, transport, and nuclear and chemical plants. In
