Description
Summary:The paper describes an analysis of reliability of railway traffic personnel. The human tasks critical to system safety are identified. Human error probability is chosen as a measure of human reliability in performing these tasks. The probabilities of some critical errors are estimated using the field data collected in the Slovenian railway traffic system. As stress conditions strongly affect the human performance, a simple model of the dependence of human error probability on stress levels is proposed.
