Objective

The aim of the research is to study the socio-ergonomic aspects relating to the use of a remote-control system and a system for diagnosing malfunctions, incorporating data feedback to the operator. The reliability and safety of the new equipment will also be studied, taking into account human reliability and the cognitive performance of the operators.

Ways and Means to Achieve the Work

The study will be undertaken through

- a functional analysis;

- a defects analysis;

- factual modelling;

- an analysis of the utilization phases;

- an analysis of maintainability.
