Abstract:

To effectively design human factor errorproofing, ACTR model is used to analyze the human errors in operation behavior. The human cognitive behavior in the truck refrigerant filling process is modeled by ACTR, and simulated by applying CogTool software. The main human errors are the airconditioning type mismatching with the truck type and pipeline identification error. The effectiveness of analyzing human errors by ACTR model is verified. Combining with the ideas of human factor errorproofing design, such as eliminate, combine, rearrange, simplify and decrease, the human factor errorproofing is designed in the truck refrigerant filling process. The feasibility and effectiveness of this errorproofing design are illustrated by the feedback evaluation of the enterprise.
