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...
Ecological Security Assessment is a new field in Sustainable Development study. In order to curb the deterioration of the ecological environment, we should conduct timely researches on the comprehensive evaluation of ecological security, which is recognized as the most powerful method to protect the regional economy effectively. Based on the sequence data of 1987, 2000 and 2005, the study takes Hebei...
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,...
In the modernized information service environment, the users' needs of information grow diversified and personalized. However, there is great difference among different users. Compared with the standardized products and services, the personalized services and products are more helpful to the increase of products' added value and meet the users' needs better. In this paper, based on Maslow's Hierarchy...
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...
Medication management process in a hospital includes all the work that is done concerning to a certain patient's medical treatment. According to international studies, the process is very prone to errors, which can cause adverse drug events and endanger the patient safety. In this paper, we will show how medication management process can be improved by a user-centric and computer-based automated dose-dispensing...
Animal intrusion detection is a major application in human habitats like institutions and agricultural fields to ensure safety and security to the life and assets of human. In this paper, a new image processing method is proposed to detect the presence of animals using Line Model Approach based on their skeletons. In this new frame work, the simple Background subtraction followed by a fast Star Skeletonization...
Accidents caused by automatic doors frequently occur. Infrared sensor or force sensor is often used for automatic doors to detect the presence of a human, and ensure the safety of doors. But in the case of train doors, we can not use infrared sensor and force sensor because of several reasons. In addition, train doors should be gated exactly not to disturb the train services. This paper suggests two...
Comparing risks of rare, high consequence events poses serious challenges to social decision making as well as deep methodological and epistemological problems. It is necessary to assess the merits of countermeasures that are only useful in extremely unlikely circumstances. The value of a conventional conditional probability P(A|B)=P(A∩B)/P(B) becomes too uncertain to be useful when P(B) is not well...
The development in this work is to evaluate analytically human-robot system for collaboration based on performance requirements in cellular manufacturing system. This work continues from a previous task modeling study to further evaluate quantitatively the collaboration planning of the human-robot system. The analysis study is based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. Four criteria (productivity,...
The passive dynamic control ("PDC") is a mechanical system control method based on an inherently safe design. It positively uses passive elements (braking mechanism) whose characteristics are variable. In this paper, the PDC is applied to a pneumatic rubber artificial muscle actuator. First, the PDC pneumatic rubber artificial muscle actuator with a Magneto-Rheological brake is proposed,...
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...
Human robot teams combining the complementary capabilities of robots and humans towards solving potentially complex service tasks are gaining wide spread popularity. Many of these tasks will involve close interactions between the robot and the human it serves thereby making safety a crucial parameter. Erroneous interaction that inevitably arises between human and the robot causes accidents in service...
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...
Network connectivity in coalition environments has increased markedly in recent times. This has coincided with a shift in military thinking toward Network Enabled Capability (NEC). Together, these have produced the concept of the NEC System of Systems (NEC SoS), where many systems are interconnected to produce a military capability. This paper takes a holistic view of the NEC SoS to include Un-Manned...
The pacemaker challenge proposed by Software Quality Research Laboratory is looking for formal methods to produce precise and reliable systems. Safety critical systems like pacemaker need to guarantee important properties (like deadlock-free, safety, etc.), which concern human lives. Formal methods have been applied in designing safety critical systems with verified desirable properties. In this paper,...
Service value is successfully created when customers enjoy the benefits of services provided through the channels of a service system. This paper is focused on the process of value creation in the service industry by focusing on the shift of service value created in actual service enterprises. The proposed model for describing this shift visualizes the shift of service value, composed of the "place...
According to the high security requirement of rail transit signal system, the paper studied the engineering safety management theory of foreign advanced rail transit signal system, summarized the risk control process of rail transit signal system with the characteristic of china's rail transit signal system and focused on some key issues in the risk control process. Using of ALARP principle as the...
