Abstract:With the rapid development of aviation technology, intelligentized and integrated onboard devices highly reduce the risk of aviation accidents. However, aviation unsafety incidents induced by human errors in cockpit are not effectually improved, and human errors are one of the most important risk factors influencing aviation safety. According to the characteristics of human factor in cockpit and a specific flight task, a human error risk quantification model based on the fuzzy inference system is provided to identify key human error types and determine the risk severity of human error. It can further assess flight safety. This method not only considers the probability of human error, but also considers the impact of human error on the cockpit system. This paper employs the human error probability, the error impact probability and the human error consequence to be the risk index to quantify human error risk. Take the approach task as a case, the experimental results show that the model can accurately describe the relationship between risk severity and the three risk indicators, reduce the influence of experts’ subjective judgement on the results and reasonably solve the uncertainty of results caused by insufficient data. This paper can further provide effective theoretical support for the reduction of human errors and the occurrence of aviation accidents.
