SAFEMODEMain aim & specific objectives

The main aim of SAFEMODE project is to develop a novel human risk-informed design (HURID) framework in order to identify, collect and assess data for Human Factors. HURID will enable the risk-based design of transport systems and operations, in the aviation and maritime sectors.

The HURID will help designers and operators address the following questions:

  • what went wrong before with this type of system? And how often?
  • what are the key human performance drivers with this type of situation?
  • what is considered best practice in those areas?
  • what are the tools or models I need to apply?

SAFEMODE will achieve the aforementioned aim by following specific objectives:

  • create a Safety Human Incident & Error Learning Database (SHIELD) for the maritime and aviation sector
  • create tools and methodologies for assuring human performance
  • create HURID, a human risk-informed design framework to support human factors analysis in design and operations
  • customise HURID to the specific characteristics of both domains
  • exploit project results by supporting regulatory framework developments in the industry
