National Research Council Committee

The Committee on Human Factors, a standing committee of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC), advises its sustaining sponsors and other requesting organizations on issues involved in the design of socio-technical systems and on the research and methods needed to help enhance their operability and safety. This paper describes the origins, purposes, operations and program of the committee and emphasizes the special attributes of this and other NAS/NRC commtittees.

Sufficient Precision

Human factors have a strong impact on railways safety. However, the assessments of these factors still follow traditional and inadequate approaches. While failure probabilities of technical systems can be measured in sufficient precision, human error probabilities are still estimated in a very rough and vague way. Upon this motivation, the contribution presents a method analyzing human influence in railway applications. The approach of human-barrier-interaction relies on a new model of human behavior, a classic model of human-machine-interaction and a model of safety measures by barriers. Applying the method, human reliability can be assessed in comparative way. An advantage over existing approaches is the substantial combination of cognitive psychology and engineering expertise without unpractical complexity.

Modern Technologies

This panel will focus on five stories in which cognitive engineering has resulted in a significant, measurable success. Five experts will revisit problems with human-technical systems that they helped to solve. In this way, the panel will provide an intimate look at the trials, tribulations, and thought processes of dedicated scientists and engineers who have had an impact on our use of modern technologies. The five stories were motivated by serious problems, but our focus is on the solution to those problems—the repair of the human-technical system. In the question and answer period we will elicit from the panelists insights about doing cognitive engineering, wisdom about becoming a cognitive engineer, and advice about being a cognitive engineer in today's society. The lessons learned from these cognitive engineering successes will be of value to all human factors researchers.
