Human error in the design of a safety-critical system

Shryane, Nick

Abstract

From the introduction:
This thesis is an investigation into some o f the causes and possible remedies to the problem of human error in a complex human-machine system. The system in question is engaged in the design of computer software for the control of railway signalling infrastructure. Error in its operation has the potential to be lethally destructive, a fact that provides not only the system’s epithet but also the primary motivation and significance for its investigation.
