Abstract

Human Error Probability (HEP) is a key element in the chain of events that could lead up to system accidents and despite the efforts of recently studies to evaluate the human reliability, many of the limitations and problems have not yet been solved. The model proposed tries to overcome these limitations by means of a method that combines the advantages of a dual-phase learning approach with that of a multi-attribute utility analysis, in accordance with Dar-El’ s theory. Results of numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the model in quantifying, over time, the HEP and in evaluating the human task error prone- ness by varying the work breaks schedule.
