Human Factors in Automation (I): Building Blocks, Scope, and a First Set of Factors

Tzafestas, Spyros G.

Pages: 23 –34

[Human factors play a dominant role for the successful, safe and efficient operation of any modern technological system. In automation, “human factors” may be collectively defined as the study of relationships and interactions between equipment, processes and products, and the humans who make use...

Human Factors in Automation (II): Psychological, Physical Strength, Human Error and Human Values Factors

Tzafestas, Spyros G.

Pages: 35 –46

[Human operators are playing and will continue to play dominant roles in automated systems. If either the machines or the humans involved in an automation system fail to do correctly the tasks they are assigned, serious accidents may occur like an aircraft crash, or a nuclear reactor accident....

Supervisory and Distributed Control in Automation

Tzafestas, Spyros G.

Pages: 83 –108

[Supervisory control is a general concept that embraces many paradigms of human intervention in the operation of automation systems through human–machine interfaces appropriate for each paradigm. 335, 516, 519, 520, 525 The term supervisory control was borrowed from management science 335 where a...

Implications of Industry, Automation, and Human Activity to Nature

Tzafestas, Spyros G.

Pages: 109 –131

[As mentioned in Section 1.6, any technological and automation system operating in the nature affects it by the waste and hazardous contaminants released directly or produced indirectly by chemical reactions occurring in the nature after their entrance in it. Industrial contaminants can enter the...

Human-Minding Automation

Tzafestas, Spyros G.

Pages: 133 –150

[As we saw in Section 1.5 humans and automation are living together and have to live together. The term human-minding automation is used to characterize the fact that humans are not regarded as components of automation systems in the same way as machines and computer programs. The humans and...

Nature-Minding Industrial Activity and Automation

Tzafestas, Spyros G.

Pages: 151 –191

[Nature-minding (or clean or green) industrial activity and automation is a necessity for the human survival in the short and long term. Any human activity, and especially the industrial activity, produces waste (which may be hazardous for the human health) and consumes energy and other natural...
