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...
Based on reviews on existing knowledge integration researches, the paper introduces a WSR system methodology along with a three dimensional analysis framework comprising three elements in knowledge integration: the Wuli, Shili and Renli. The objective factors and the behavior-based human factors in the process of knowledge integration are discussed from multiple perspectives of Wuli, Shili and Renli...
Quality culture is the core of corporate culture, which is fundamental strategy to achieve long-time competitiveness. For building quality culture, employee's competency is most important factor. In this paper, the Author firstly expounded the quality culture, and analyzed human resource competency required by quality culture. On these bases, human resource competency model was established; finally...
In this paper an intelligent lighting control system is introduced with adjustable illuminance, uniformity, correlated color temperature (CCT) and duration and transition of different modes, whose control strategy is based on the ergonomic research. It is verified by ergonomic experiments to be a suitable adjustable system to meet different situation of human needs.
Building effective Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (VCPS) to improve road safety is a non-trivial challenge, especially when we examine how the driver benefits from the existing and proposed technologies in the presence of Human Factors (HF) related negative factors such as information overload, confusion, and distraction. In this paper, we address a human-centric data fusion problem in VCPS. To...
It is essential to consider drivers' perceptions and reactions when building Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (VCPS) since the effectiveness and efficiency of VCPS will largely depend on how drivers could benefit from such a system. This paper considers, for the first time, novel service scheduling problems from Human Factors (HF) standpoint by taking into consideration the following fact: a driver...
During the mid stages of design development, up to Constellation Program (CxP) Preliminary Design Review (PDR), the requirements for leveraging 1-G human factors for optimizing ground processing of Flight Hardware were mature for levels - 2, 3, 4, and 5.1 2 This paper gives an overview of the accomplishments achieved during that time. The main focus of this paper will be on the CxP Ground Operations...
This poster reports the preliminary results of an on-going near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) study conducted to examine cortical response to visual motion typically found in Virtual Reality (VR) applications. Comparing to watching a grey background, navigating through a virtual tunnel increased levels of oxygenated haemoglobin in visual cortex (around area V3). Potential benefits of the finding for...
The Constellation Program (CxP) Orion vehicle goes through several areas and stages of processing before its launched at the Kennedy Space Center.1 2 In order to have efficient and effective processing, all of the activities need to be analyzed. This was accomplished by first developing a timeline of events that included each activity, and then each activity was analyzed by operability experts and...
The Constellation Program (CxP) is composed of an array of vehicles used to go to the Moon and Mars. The Ares vehicle one of the Systems of CxP, goes through several stages of processing before it is launched at the Kennedy Space Center. In order to have the efficient and effective ground processing inside and outside the vehicle, all of the ground processing activities should be analyzed. The analysis...
Industries in real life are mostly dual resource constrained (DRC) systems in which capacity constraints stem from both machines and human operators. The effective management of these resources is an important issue that can significantly affect the performance of an organization. Resource managers and planners must acknowledge the unique characteristics inherent in different types of resources in...
Raw materials for generating energy and producing goods are not always extracted where they are needed, namely in the sphere of man settlement. It is likely that growing numbers of workers are required to work in remote habitats. Being in such rural conditions is a costly, complex and difficult undertaking for both, the companies and their labour force. The Smart Camp project merges several challenges...
Service delivery and customer satisfaction are strongly related items for a correct commercial management platform. Technical aspects targeting this issue relate to QoS parameters that can be handled by the platform, at least partially. Subjective psychological issues and human cognitive aspects are typically unconsidered aspects and they directly determine the Quality of Experience (QoE). These factors...
Humans make decisions on the basis of their situation awareness and it is well-known that insufficient situation awareness leads to incorrect decisions. The challenge of an advanced surveillance system for supporting situation awareness of a human decision maker is therefore to detect and assess complex situations that evolve over time. In this article, we present a conceptual framework for automatic...
Intelligent infrastructure is an architecture that enables generation of immediate, accurate and relevant information about the state of any type of infrastructural asset and converts this information to timely and reliable decision aids. The study presented in this paper identifies the scope of railway intelligent infrastructure system via a mixed contextual and sequential approach. The output from...
Robotic systems are being introduced into military echelons to extend warfighter capabilities in complex, dynamic environments. While these systems are designed to complement human capabilities (e.g., aiding in battlefield situation awareness and decision making, etc), they are often misused or disused because the user does not have an appropriate level of trust in his or her robotic counterpart(s)...
For this paper, we examine the challenges to the formalization of agent SA in the context of human (or traditional) SA and the value added by agent SA. We hypothesize about how an agent can generate and maintain Level 2 and Level 3 SA and how that should be represented internally for the agent. Additionally, we consider the relationship between the human operator and agent to theorize how agent SA...
This work aims to solve a routing problem in order to cover a region where a set of areas should be revisited as soon as possible, denominated critical areas. The objective is to find an efficient route that minimizes the maximum time that these areas remain uncovered. To solve the problem we propose an interactive approach that considers both human and automated interference in the process. The results...
Telepresence robots are becoming increasingly popular and are increasingly ready to enter use in the real world as standins for remote humans. It is useful, but currently uncommon, to provide the human operator with an approximation of peripheral vision and the ability to saccade around the scene. We have developed an interface which provides peripheral vision to a remote operator by using a motorized...
