Abstract
Human error is a crucial factor leading to maritime traffic accidents. The effect of human–computer interaction (HCI) also plays a leading role in human error. The objective of this study is to propose a method of interaction strategies based on a cognitive-processing model in crews’ daily navigation tasks. A knowledge-based ship HCI framework architecture is established. It provides an extensible framework for the HCI process in the maritime domain. By focusing on the cognitive process of a crew in the context of accident and risk handling during ship navigation, based on the information, decision, and action in crew context (IDAC) model, in combination with the maritime accident dynamics simulation (MADS) system, the MADS-IDAC system was developed and enhanced by the HCI structure and function design of the dynamic risk analysis platform for maritime management. The results indicate that MADS enhanced by HCI can effectively generate a strategy set of various outcomes in preset scenarios. Moreover, it provides a new method and thought for avoiding human error in crew interaction and to lower the risk of ship collision as well as effectively improving the reliability of HCI.
Highlights
Regarding aspects related to human factors, the results showed that insufficient manning of the ship, invalid or incomplete ship certificate(s), and seafarers lacking in theoretical knowledge and seafaring experience to be factors most inclined to be the cause of accidents, often with severe consequences [5]
The branch generation scan step for the DDET was set to 6 min in the scenario control module of the maritime accident dynamics simulation (MADS)-IDAC system; that is, after every 6 min cycle of running the physical scenario, the system would check whether a new branch had been generated or not
A large number of practical human reliability assessment (HRA) methods have been developed in the fields of reliability, safety engineering, and risk analysis
Summary
Human-error-induced accidents have become the primary source of accidents in complex socio-technical systems. Statistics have shown that more than 60% of casualties and accidents that occur around the world every year are associated with human error. The proportion of major disasters caused by such events can reach 80% or more, a number that continues to increase annually, especially in high-risk fields, such as nuclear plants, aerospace, and maritime fields [1,2]. Human-error-related maritime traffic accidents account for 80% or more of maritime accidents; the proportion of human-error-related accidents can be as high as 95% in collisions [3]. Maritime traffic accidents result in potentially huge personnel and property losses and cause irreversible damage to the environment [4].
