Menschliche Zuverlässigkeit

What it is about

You learn how human behavior and errors affect the reliability of technical systems and how such errors can be analyzed, evaluated and avoided. In the end you will be able to classify human misbehavior, apply error models and assess measures to increase reliability in the overall system of Human–Technology–Organization.

What you will be able to do

• Analyze mechanisms of human behavior and apply them context-specifically
• Classify human errors and use error models
• Analyze risks and evaluate appropriate countermeasures
• Apply rules for designing robust systems

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the theoretical foundations of human reliability
• ÜbungProcessing and discussion of case studies and calculation examples for applying the methods

Teaching method

• Präsentation (PowerPoint)Explanation of the theoretical foundations
• Übungen mit FallstudienPractical application of analysis, evaluation and design methods
• Selbststudium (Semesterapparat/Literatur)Deepening and review of the lecture material
