Southwest Interstate Railroad (SIR) is concerned about the number derailments in recent years.
It's not cost effective to use human assets to inspect tracks, bridges, and trestles. Instead, SIR has
started to use drones. A drone can fly low over tracks and above/below bridges and trestles. The
drones record video that is transmitted to corporate headquarters where it is simultaneously
scanned for derailment hazards. In the past six months, the drones detected a track blockage
caused by a rock slide and damage to tracks in a remote area cause by an earthquake. SIR
dispatched work crews to make the tracks once again passable, and no derailments occurred.
SIR's use of drones, video, real-term video scanning, and computer analysis illustrates which one
of the following? correct answers Preventative analytics
Autonomous Vehicle Applications (AVA) is a start-up company that develops safety
technologies that can be sold to companies that are producing autonomous vehicles. One
technology AVA is developing allows an autonomous vehicle to detect, extract, and analyze
images; and then to respond to the images. For example, the technology would detect a presence
in a crosswalk, extract the image, and a computer would analyze the image. When the image was
determined to be a human being, the vehicle would slow down or stop until the crosswalk was
clear. This technology, which is designed to capture and analyze images, and to act on the
recognition of the image; is called correct answers Computer vision

Take Your Order (TYO) is a company that specializes in taking product orders for vendors. The
manufacturer of a product can run a television or internet ad for a product with a toll-free
number. Customer calls for the products are routed to TYO, where one hundred operators are
available to receive the calls. Each operator is assigned a cubicle with a computer terminal, video
display monitor, and a telephone. TYO experienced high workers compensation claims from its
operators, claiming neck strain, eye strain, and wrist pain. In an effort to reduce such injuries,
TYO evaluated each operator's work area. The height of chairs and video monitors were
adjusted, curved computer keyboards and wrist-rests were provided, and the telephones were
replaced with audio headsets. Workers compensation costs dropped significantly. The science of
designing work spaces based on interaction between people and the equipment in the work space
is called correct answers Ergonomics

,The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a U.S. Government agency,
monitors tsunami risk. Earthquakes under the sea often cause large waves which can have a
disastrous impact on coastal communities. In addition to monitoring earthquake data and tides,
NOAA recently added a new tool -- tsunami detection buoys. The buoys are placed in the sea
and they are equipped with sensors to detect high wave levels so that an early warning can be
given to a coastal area if an evacuation is needed. This application of the use of smart products
illustrates their use in correct answers Catastrophe management
Which one of the following data capture tools has led to an explosion of risk management
innovation by allowing smart products to transmit data to each other and to central hubs? correct
answers Internet of Things

perform dangerous tasks and in heavy-lifting jobs. These smart products are called correct
answers Robots
Mutual Fund Company (MFC) offers a wide array of mutual fund options to investors. Each
mutual fund has a different fund objective and set of investment guidelines that apply to the
fund. While MFC gives considerable freedom to its fund portfolio managers, they are required to
abide by the fund's investment guidelines. To monitor compliance, MFC developed a computer
algorithm. The computer algorithm continuously monitors each fund's compliance with
investment guidelines. If a fund manager violates the investment guidelines, the computer
immediately notifies MFC's internal control director, and corrective action is taken. MFC's use of
the computer algorithm to monitor investment compliance and to provide notification when
corrective action is necessary illustrates use of correct answers Artificial intelligence
