Evaluating the Impacts of the Internet of Things to Reduce Runway Incursions
Published in Erick C. Jones, Supply Chain Engineering and Logistics Handbook, 2020
Samuel Innanore Okate, Erick C. Jones
When talking about runway safety, runway incursions in particular, it is essential to discuss human factors. Approximately, over two-thirds of all aviation accidents and incidents have their roots in human performance errors (Federal Aviation Administration, 2011). Most aviation accidents are caused by human error instead of a mechanical failure of the equipment. The term “human factor” has become gradually more popular in the aviation industry. Human factors are primarily concerned with the integration of technology and humans and how this interaction can successfully sustain a safe flying environment. Human factors can be classified into several disciplines from clinical psychology, medical science to computer science and safety engineering. For the purpose of this dissertation, we will discuss human factors from an aviation industry standpoint. Human error can be defined as an error or operational mistake made by a human. Because of the fact that we as human beings are not perfect, error in work performance is bound to occur. The key is learning about it and finding new ways through technology to address it. Figure 14.7 is a list of human factor errors that affect the aviation industry.
The Role of Human Error in Root Cause Analysis: Understanding Human Behavior

The investigation team should consider how often an individual performs a job (skill level). We will define “skill” as performing a task 100 total times and about once each week. Once again the “driving a car” example can apply. Most people have driven a car 100 times and most drive nearly every day and are considered skilled. There are three levels of human error considered with each investigation: skill-based, rule-based, and knowledge-based errors.

Human error is an action or omission of an action that was not intended, expected, or desired. Human error is often classified by examining behavior in terms of skills, rules, and knowledge (Rasmussen, 1983; Reason, 1990). These three categories generally refer to the amount of conscious control required to perform a task. Skill-based tasks are “automatic”, highly practiced, and generally not under conscious monitoring once the intention to act has been formed. Rule-based tasks are characterized by the application of a rule or procedures (e.g., instructions, checklists) used to determine a course of action. Knowledge-based tasks are generally novel and unexpected and require conscious thought (Wickens, 1993).
A model for establishing resilience safety culture for the construction industry
Published in International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2023
EMP mainly focuses on human errors. Some works in the literature claim that more than 70% of safety accidents are caused by human errors [15]. This number emphasizes the crucial role of EMP in resilience safety culture establishment. Human errors can be categorized into two groups, i.e., behavior errors and human factor errors. Behavior errors refer to individuals’ non-compliant actual actions of implementing jobs [16]. For example, a worker fails to wear a helmet during welding. The human factor has a wider meaning. It represents all man-made contributory factors to accidents. With the help of the representation, some effective tools for human factor error identification and classification have been developed such as the human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) and its updated versions [17,18]. Actually, human error study is the core task of the SCM. Generally, the SCM contains five protective layers, including organizational influences, unsafe supervision, preconditions of unsafe acts and unsafe acts [14]. Evidently, the performance of each of them is dominated by the people who take the responsibilities. Their accumulated errors will definitely generate increasing holes which will make all layers lose protective ability. From this viewpoint, EMP is deeply rooted in HPP.

①Unsafe behavior of man is the direct cause of human error, and influenced by physiological, psychological, cognitive, and skill factors. ② Unsafe status of machine refers to the unscientific and non-ergonomic design of fracturing equipment's man-machine combination. It has adverse influence on the behavior of fracturing operators, and increases the probability of human error. So there are three perspectives—display system, control system, and operator station analyzing the human error factor. ③ Good medium creates a safe and comfortable condition for fracturing operators, which could reduce the occurrence of human error and improve the operation efficiency. This article divides the medium into natural, working, family, and social environment. ④ Safety management is the fundamental way to reduce human error and accidents, including resource allocation, task arrangement, education and training, rules and regulations, governing agency, enterprise atmosphere, and safety culture.
Design Review as a Powerful Tool to Address Human Factors: A Collaborative Approach
Published in Structural Engineering International, 2020
Human error can be classified into three basic categories: mistakes, slips and lapses.6,7 Errors can be differentiated depending on the sequence and execution of the relevant process.8 A mistake is a correct execution in an incorrect sequence of actions, a slip is defined as incorrect execution of a correct sequence of actions, while a lapse is defined as omitted or left-out actions.
