Human performance reliability in the design-for- usability life cycle for safety human-computer interfaces

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for integrating Human Performance Reliability Analysis techniques and the design-for-usability life cycle, so that human performance reliability can be assimilated in the design of Human- Computer Interface component of safety interactive systems. The benefits of this approach are an interface designed to reduce human errors in addition to a set of documents that allows application of human reliability analysis in licensing.
