title: Artificial Neural Networks-Modern Systems for Safety Control.
abstract: A short review of the applications of artificial neural networks in different fields of industry with a description of their main properties is made. Such systems have specific properties typical for the human brain, which can decide on the superiority of artificial neural networks over standard control systems. Basic types of such networks as well as their principles of operation and successful applications are described. The application of artificial neural networks in safety engineering is discussed with stress on their special properties, which are necessary in safety critical systems.
