During day-to-day use, thousands of lives are lost each year due to accidents, directly or
indirectly, resulting from poor transportation system reliability and safety. In the United …

For the design of most technical systems a desirable safe field of use is calculated from
systems technical constraints, and expectations of human capacities and limitations …

The majority of railway incidents happen due to human error. Historically, human error has
been split into active and latent errors, both to be investigated. Active errors are linked to a …

The paper discusses on the concept of human errors when operators use barriers or when
barriers have to be designed to decrease risks associated with human behaviours. It gives …

The task complexity (TACOM) measure was previously developed to quantify the complexity
of the proceduralized tasks performed by nuclear power plant main control room operators …

In an approach that combines coverage of safety and human error into a single volume,
Safety and Human Error in Engineering Systems eliminates the need to consult many …

Identifying the traffic dispatcher error behaviors that frequently result in the occurrence of
metro accidents is beneficial to prevent error behaviors and mitigate their consequences …

In this paper, we consider the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) as a
System-of-Systems (SoS) and propose modeling it using Unified Modeling Language …

There is no doubt about the fact that reliable human performance is the key to the safe
operation of human involved safety–critical systems. For this reason, it is necessary to …

This chapter explores the influence of two approaches, one proposing technical solutions
and the other evaluating the ergonomic acceptability of these solutions for the human …
