Abstract

The paper analyses the available taxonomies of responsibility allocation in Human-Machine Systems. The basic assumptions for the division of responsibility in the system and the measures of system wellness are described, as well as the appropriateness of the assignment of responsibility in the system. Finally, a taxonomy of responsibility allocation, consisting of a combination of types of decision resources in the system, was proposed.

Highlights

  • In the anthropotechnical system, man and machine have extremely differing resource characteristics, which results in the different needs of each of these elements in relation to the requirements of the system

  • The human is unreliable since, unlike the machine, he is not able to maintain for a long period of time and without interruption the high functional parameters required by the work, such as power, force, speed and sensitivity

  • The allocation of tasks in the system must be dependent on the ability to maintain the performance of tasks over time

Summary

Introduction

Man and machine have extremely differing resource characteristics, which results in the different needs of each of these elements in relation to the requirements of the system. The obvious difference in the effectiveness of the human and machine during the performance of certain tasks has contributed to the development of lists of the allocation of functions in the H-M system. Technical Device (TD) Not adapted to this type of activity – or a significant effort is required to achieve a TD’s ability to perform such tasks to a certain extent. Determining the allocation of functions in the event that the human and the technical equipment are equal in terms of their available features requires additional analysis and criteria. Helpful in this respect may be determining positions based on Price’s diagram of allocation decisions between man and machine [12]
