Abstract

Abstract

In order to identify the effects of digital human-machine interface characteristics on human error in nuclear power plants,the new characteristics of digital human-machine interface are identified by comparing with the traditional analog control systems in the aspects of the information display,user interface interaction and management,control systems,alarm systems and procedures system,and the negative effects of digital human-machine interface characteristics on human error are identified by field research and interviewing with operators such as increased cognitive load and workload,mode confusion,loss of situation awareness.As to the adverse effects related above,the corresponding prevention and control measures of human errors are provided to support the prevention and minimization of human errors and the optimization of human-machine interface design.
