Over a decade of UAV incidents: A human factors analysis of causal factors.

This analysis examined systemic causes of Uncrewed Air Vehicle (UAV) accidents identifying operator, environmental, supervisory, and organisational factors through the use of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification…

How flight experience impacts pilots’ decision-making and visual scanning pattern in low-visibility approaches: preliminary evidence from eye tracking

Abstract The visual approach is the most accident-prone phase of a flight, especially in low-visibility conditions. This preliminary study aimed to examine the effects of flight experience on pilots’ decision-making and …

Human factors in cybersecurity: Designing an effective cybersecurity education program for healthcare staff

Leaders who promote cybersecurity education focused on the human factors of cyberattack build a resilient workforce that complements technical protections, reducing organizational risk.

Analysis on coupling dynamic effect of human errors in aviation safety.

Human factors have increasingly been the leading cause of aircraft accidents. In most cases, human factors are not working alone, instead they are coupled with complex environment, mechanical factors, physiological and p…

Informing Visual Display Design of Electronic Health Records: A Human Factors Cross-Industry Perspective

Despite their prevalence, poorly designed electronic health records (EHRs) are common, and research shows poor design consequences include clinician burnout, diagnostic error, and even patient harm.

Increasing the margin of patient safety for periodontal and implant treatments: The role of human factors

Early complications following periodontal and dental implant surgeries are typically attributed to technique or poor biological response, ignoring the possibility of the human element.

Development of effective human factors interventions for aviation safety management

Introduction In the aviation industry, safety management has moved away from capturing frontline failures toward the management of systemic conditions through organizational safety management systems (SMS).

Analysis of Human Factors in Typical Accident Tests of Certain Type Flight Simulator

With the improvement of modern aviation equipment manufacturing technology, there are relatively few failures due to the unreliability of the aircraft.

Human factors in aviation: Fatigue management in ramp workers

Abstract Although over the years, technical systems (equipment) have been evolving, most of the occurrences in the aviation industry, namely in the ground-handling area, are related to human error, constituting a neglect…

Aviation operators (pilots, ATCOs) decision-making process

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate and evaluate the subjective decision-making of pilots during final approach with varying degrees of experience for landing and go-around.

Impact of human factors in aircraft accident mitigation and aircraft maintenance training needs in post COVID-19 aviation

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of human factor training in aircraft maintenance accident mitigation and aircraft safety in post COVID-19 aviation scenarios.

Analysis of Human Factors Relationship in Hazardous Chemical Storage Accidents

Human factors are important causes of hazardous chemical storage accidents, and clarifying the relationship between human factors can help to identify the logical chain between unsafe behaviors and influential factors in…

Transport safety and human factors in the era of automation: What can transport modes learn from each other?

One of the main aims of introducing automation in transport is to improve safety by reducing or eliminating human errors; it is often argued however that this may induce new types of errors.

Using Digital and Physical Simulation to Focus on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Aviation Maintainability

Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the differences in the assessments made by three simulation tools used in a maintainability design office to perform human factor/ergonomics (HFE) analysis: digital human modeli…

An analysis of human factors in fifty controlled flight into terrain aviation accidents from 2007 to 2017.

INTRODUCTION Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) account for a considerable amount of fatalities when compared to other accident categories. Human factors are deemed significant contributory causes in these accidents.

Editorial: Ergonomics and Human Factors in Aviation

Ergonomics and Human Factors (E/HF) in Aviation is essential for the safety and efficiency of commercial airlines, passenger, cargo and military operations, and for the well-being of their passenge...

A modified accident analysis and investigation model for the general aviation industry: Emphasizing on human and organizational factors.

INTRODUCTION Currently, there is a lack of specific analytical tools for general aviation accidents (GAAs). This has led to loopholes in the prevention of GAAs.
