Implementation of Petri Nets in the Analysis of Pipeline Accidents

Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate the implementation of Petri net modeling of the National Environmental Council Resolution, CONAMA, which is responsible for the Emergency Plan, triggered in case of pipeline accidents to identify process characteristics such as fluidity, dynamics, and identify potential bottlenecks and critical stages of the process. The Petri Net is a mathematical representation that can be simulated in software such as PIPE. It was identified through the simulations that the discrete system modeled from the emergency plane is fluid and lively, without any abnormal concentration in places, also called transitions inputs. It has been able to describe the process steps and characteristics in detail and can serve as a basis for future implementation of an algorithm for simulation study and automation project design in this area. It can be concluded that the Petri net has extensive utilization and great implementation potential both in emergency action and in other areas. Using it in the described situation allowed us to identify the crucial points of the emergency plan and analyze it broadly, identifying its main points of activity.
