  • Identify the technical and operational needs associated with the definition of an ATM operational concept

Human factors and air transport system safety

Department of Aerospace Systems, Air Transport and Airports.

The discipline of Human Factors involves the application of knowledge of the way we see, hear, think and physically function to the design of tools, products and systems that support human task performance and protect human health and safety.

Particularly in aviation, Human Factors is defined as a multidisciplinary effort to generate and collect information about human capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, workstations, environments, training, staffing, and personnel management for safe, comfortable, and effective performance.

Throughout this course we will study the fundamentals that define human capabilities and limitations and apply that knowledge to two special projects:
 - The investigation of an aircraft accident, and
 - The design of a data-driven human performance measurement and improvement system.

Safety management

Safety is an inherent factor in aviation without which air transport could not exist, and above all it is our greatest concern every time we board an aircraft.

It is not only one of the professional areas with the greatest development and projection for the future of the aviation industry. In addition, learning the fundamentals of safety management will also be useful for multiple activities throughout your life, both professional and personal.

We hope that this course will serve as an introduction to this interesting subject and arouse your curiosity and interest to learn more. There is a whole Master's speciality dedicated to human factors, risk management, accident investigation and safety management that will allow you to broaden your knowledge if you are interested.
