Huaman Reliability Analysis on Ship Power System Control Room Design

Abstract

Nowadays, Modern warship has been highly automated and integrated. Therefore, seemingly, the crew need copes with litter tasks than before. In fact, however, the crew's importance and tension have rapidly increased, even a slightest error may result in an accident. Consequently, consideration for human factor analyses should be taken independently in marine engineering. Our study focus is how to evaluate the ship power system control room design in the light of human factor analysis. According to the human factors theory, this article develops a common human reliability evaluation approach which is helpful to the ship general arrangement design for the highest efficiency of the whole ship. A case is also presented in this article, including the model test and HET analysis.
