The Man - Machine Type Systems Modeling ApproachThe subject of this paper deals with selected usable characteristics of man - machine systems described by the selected basic attributes. The paper is describing also major objectives of safety engineering, based on the system approach, understanding the structure of safety management system, including the human factor, and all interrelationships between the system components. The part of the paper is example of safety engineering implementations in practice.

AbstractAlthough few maritime endeavors are more prosaic than point-to-point ferry operations, on March 6, 1987, the ro-ro (roll on/roll off) passenger ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized 4 min after leaving port, with the loss of at least 188 lives. This paper reviews onboard as well as shoreside human factor issues that contributed to the casualty and discusses how the loss triggered a shift in international maritime safety from reactive response to a “safety culture”-oriented philosophy currently imposed through the International Safety Management Code (“ISM Code”). While full particulars have yet to be disclosed, certain similarities with the January 13, 2012 Costa Concordia casualty suggest the maritime industry is slow to apply lessons expensively learned in lost lives and property.

The article describes a new class of organizational and technical systems - intelligent aviation systems, whose operational principles provide the increased safety of an aircraft flight. The development of systems of this class is primarily explained by the need to record statistical data on the main causes of aviation accidents (human factor - up to 87%, failure of aviation equipment - up to 15%, external factors - 2% of all cases). A scientific problem is formulated related to the importance of creating methods for assessing and predicting the threat of an accident based on direct control of changes in the values of characteristics that affect flight safety. For this, it is proposed to use the methods and means of the scientific and technical direction of artificial intelligence, which will reveal the immediate causes of an aviation accident and prevent them using the flight safety management system. The technical characteristics are considered, the properties of the system under study are presented, which determine the principles of its functioning: intelligence, information content, speed, controllability, interdependence of subsystems, flight safety, including identification of the threat of an accident, its prediction and parry. The above principles of the functioning of the system under study, which are part of the methodology for managing the safety of an aircraft in flight, are implemented in a set of methods and algorithms. Among them should be noted the intelligent method for assessing the threat of an aviation accident, the method for predicting the threat of an accident, the method for supporting decision-making by the crew in the event of the threat of an accident, as well as the method for synthesizing the control law for countering the threat

Rashevska N.V. and Soloviev V.N. Augmented Reality and the Prospects for Applying Its in the Training of Future Engineers. The education system of Ukraine is closely linked with the world education trends, therefore it requires constant renewal and expansion. One of the progressive areas of organizing studying process is creating the studying environment which will allow students to reveal their intellectual potential while searching for the necessary knowledge. That’s why the purpose of the article is analysis of the concept of augmented reality and prospects of its application in the process of training future engineers. The object of study is the system of training future engineers and the subject is using of augmented reality technologies in the process of training future engineers. The research method is analyzing the impact of the augmented reality technologies on the training future engineers. During the research, we have identified positive aspects of the augmented reality technologies in the process of training future engineers. We have defined the stages of creating some methodical system components of teaching fundamental disciplines in the higher technical school through interdisciplinary integration and technologies of augmented reality.

Fatigue as a term does not represent a disease, but a state of reduced mental and/or physical potentials and requires an interdisciplinary approach to detecting and managing risks in mutually related and conditioned work processes. Knowing the principle of fatigue allows us to discover, understand, predict and reduce the possibility of escalation of problems in a timely manner. Today, fatigue is recognized in civil aviation as the direct cause of more than 20% of incidents. Security and safety management measures are mainly aimed at reducing threats from a technical or procedural aspect while ignoring the fact that inadequate management of the Human Factor causes 80% of injuries, loss of life and material damage.

Under the influence of ideas from control and communication theory, new trends have developed in the design of photogrammetric data-processing systems. In this paper a number of concepts applied to the design of such systems are discussed, with emphasis on the digital man-machine systems and system components. The main characteristics of contemporary photogrammetric systems are outlined in regard to both their hardware and software, including some remarks on automation and orthophototechniques. The general descriptions are supported by examples from two systems: one predominantly digital and the other predominantly analog. These examples concern the instrumental developments in the Photogrammetric Research Laboratories of the National Research Council of Canada.
