Development of a Visual Interface for the Assessment of the Common Performance Conditions in Human Reliability Analysis

International audienceWithin the European project Virthualis, a tool for the estimation of the human error proba-bility of actions in industrial context has been developed. This tool combines the Cognitive Reliability And Error Analysis Method (CREAM) with the fuzzy logic principles and allows, on the basis of the analyst as-sessment of the Common Performance Conditions (CPCs), to evaluate the Human Error Probabilities. The ob-jective of this work is to develop a visual interface for the safety analysts that are going to use this tool for Human Reliability Analysis. In order to increase the repeatability of the CPC assessment, the proposed inter-face is based on the use of anchor points that represent prototype conditions of the CPCs. Furthermore, a de-tailed description of the anchor points in terms of sub-items characterizing the CPCs is adopted to facilitate the CPC assessment and make the whole process more transparent
