The human factors involved in an unmanned aerial system (UAS) come in a variety of forms that has largely gone poorly represented in literature. In this paper, a holistic approach is taken to identify not only the individual aspects but the interconnection of the human-UAS interaction. First, an examination of human factors involved in a UAS are presented. Next, the metrics of human performance, such...
The task analysis is the chief work of human factor, and assists analyst to deeper understand and describe the system and the human in it. The context of the task analysis is to describe human performance in a particular task or scenario and to break down tasks or scenarios into the required individual task steps based on the necessary interaction between the human and the machine. Cognitive task...
Reason's (1990) “Swiss cheese” model of human error integrates the human error perspectives into a single unified framework. The original description of his modal was geared toward academicians rather than practitioners. The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System, HFACS (Douglas A. Wiegmann and Scott A. Shappell, 2003) was specifically developed to define the latent and active failure implicated...
Design, development and implementation of advanced technological systems is the challenging business experienced by industry engineers in every day professional life. The increased complexity of such systems and the huge amount of information to be managed makes the challenge even more hard. The new European Air Traffic Management System under development in the framework of the SESAR Programme represents...
It is well known that human error is the key contributor in most marine accidents. Nevertheless, human error is not the cause of accidents or mishaps in the new view on human errors; it is the deeper trouble of the MMEM (Man-Machine-Environment-Management) system. The key point for human error analysis is to find out the connection between human error and the features of system elements, that is the...
In this paper, a new methodology, which integrates human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) with Bayesian Network (BN), is proposed to assess the contribution of human and organizational factors in maritime accidents. As a means of making up the lack of quantitative analysis within HFACS, the integration of BN and fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) have been selected to estimate...
This study examined the effects of human redundancy arrangements on performance in the execution of computerized emergency operating procedures. It was found that there was significant difference in completion time but no significant differences in error rate or subjective workload between single-operator and two-operator setups. For the two-operator setup, an unbalanced workload was found. Team completion...
Human, machines and environment, three main factors contained in transport system in coal mines, and their impact on transport accident have been analyzed with system engineering theory of man-machine-environment in this article. Reasons and control of human mistakes, relationship between human and transport accident, analysis of machines' stability and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation have been deeply...
In order to improve the reliability of chemical equipments operation, the simulation research on the reliability of the operators is needed. Basing on the research platform of Dalian Chemical Industry Group Corporation (The Group), taking the reliability model of Human Cognition Reliability (HCR) as guide, in allusion to the 17 abnormal events which affect the running safety, the allowable operation...
Most of the coalmine accidents are caused by people's unsafe behavior. Based on the basic theory and research methods of behavioral science, this paper analyzed human factors and rules affecting unsafe behavior. On this basis, it proposed the wholly integrated coalmine safety culture construction methods, with strengthening safety awareness, correcting unsafe behavior and training security practices...
The concept and technique of knowledge management was applied to define, design and analyze the Aviation Human Factors Knowledge Management System in this paper. Firstly the requirements on aviation human factors KMS was analyzed and the logical structure of the KMS was proposed out meanwhile; then combining with the characteristics of aviation system and several KMS cases, the frame of aviation human...
Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) is an important part of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) in a nuclear power plant (NPP). It can be used to evaluate and quantify the behaviors of the operators in a main control room (MCR) for a safety assessment. Most of the MCR operator actions fall within category C (post-accident) human factor events. The paper analyzes the post-accident operator's behaviors...
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is greatly influenced by findings in psychological research concerning interaction with complex technical processes. Psychological concepts like perception and comprehension of information, as well as projection of future system states can be summarized as situation awareness. Poor situation awareness can increase the probability of human error during interaction,...
There has been strong interest in the new and emerging field called resilience engineering. This field has been quick to align itself with many existing safety disciplines, but it has also distanced itself from the field of human reliability analysis. To date, the discussion has been somewhat one-sided, with much discussion about the new insights afforded by resilience engineering. This paper presents...
Safety culture is an umbrella term covering related fields, such as human factor analysis, human reliability analysis, and human performance tools. As a whole, the goal is to increase the utilities' ability to handle anticipated as well as unexpected events. Recently, resilience engineering - with much the same goals - has gained popularity in the nuclear industry. In this paper we explore the similarities...
This article presents the results of a study on including human factors in assessment of the level of danger involved in a robot operation. A dynamic risk assessment method, which considers all effective factors in a collision, is essential for planning and control of the human-safe robots. In this regard, the visibility of the robot in the human eyes can significantly effect the probability of collision...
Based on various factors which influence on aviation maintenance safety, the multi-index system of aviation maintenance safety was constructed and the quantitive rule of the index was ascertained, the synthetical sequencing model of aviation maintenance multi-index safety was established in the employ of principal component analysis method. An example of the safety of 3 units of aviation maintenance...
Owing to the complexity of human behaviors in risk situation and the harsh physical environment of underground mine, current researches on coalmine virtual environment have paid little attention on modeling human risk behaviors. Based on Artificial Life method, an intelligent virtual miner agent model was proposed to yield better understandings of human factors in emergency situation and to assist...
Based on the results of the head-to-head comparison of finding problems with Nielsen's versus our heuristics, we assert that our set of heuristics shows promise for evaluating assitive robotics applications. This paper presents a set of heuristics for assistive robotics. While heuristics have been previously developed to address human-robot interaction (e.g., [6]), there was no set of heuristics for...
Firstly, this paper discussed the relationship between team Situation Awareness(SA) and information sharing and proposed the opinion of enhancing Team SA by information sharing to avoid human errors in aviation; Then compared the SA requirement of pilot and ATC; At last, discussed the necessary and effect of information sharing between pilot and controller, weather and traffic in detailed, and suggested...
