Human Factors Guidance for Control Room Evaluation

Simulators in Nuclear-reactor Control-room Human Factors Research & Development

Simulator studies are powerfull means to know, design and manage the complexity of nuclearreactor control, if they are, along with their scenarios, correctly designed for that purpose. This contribution to an international state of the art of the use of nuclear-reactor control-room simulators in human factors research and development precises the trends and novelties in the use of the results, ...

Identification and evaluation of human errors of Epoxy control room operators of a pipe Mill company using HEC technique

Introduction: In many workplaces today, the incidence of human error can lead to catastrophic accidents in which human error is the main cause of accidents. Due to the vital role of the control room in guiding and controlling various sites of the pipe industry, especially the outer coating sector, the incidence of any error can lead to human accidents, damage to machinery, and interruption in p...

Human factors and operating room safety.

A human factors model is used to highlight the nature of many systems factors that affect surgical performance, including the OR environment, teamwork and communication, technology and equipment, tasks and workload factors, and organizational variables. If further improvements in the success rate and reliability of cardiac surgery are to be realized, interventions need to be developed to reduce...

Guidance Law Evaluation for Missile Guidance Systems

In missile guidance system, to reduce the interception “miss distance,” it is important to choose a suitable guidance law and navigation constant. This paper investigates and compares the system behavior of guidance laws under different navigation constants. Based on use of the adjoint technique, miss distance sensitivity analyses which consider the system noise, target step maneuver, initial h...
