Risk Analysis of Electrical Shocks and Fires Through Fuzzy Systems in Electrical Installations

Abstract

The concept of social responsibility in engineering is an obligation of the professional to evaluate their work in the public welfare. Most students do not have contact with real risk situations of electrical instlation shock. In this context, we present an evolution of an extension project work, at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Cornélio Procópio (UTFPR). Thus, the main goal is to present a tool for the cognitive quantification of electrical shock and fire risks by means of a simplified-Rule-based Dynamic Fuzzy Cognitive Map (sRBD-FCM). To aid training and awareness methods for the inhabiants. It uses historical data from electrical shock and firehazard principles to modify the critical risk levels aspects for fire propagation or increased occurance of electrical shock. Through the initial results it was possible to detect the desirable effects in the proposed cognitive tool. Therefore, future works will address the proposal validation in real case studies. Thus, the historical data will be obtained through periodic visitations in the main risk areas of the city, as the extension project continuation.
