Modelling and simulation of human behaviour for safety analysis and control of complex systems

Abstract This paper discusses the needs and current trends of research in Human–Machine Studies (HMS) focusing on the role of simulation models in safety analysis and in design of decision support tools. The perspectives and limits of application of complex approaches, such as cognitive models and dynamic simulations of human–machine interaction, are reviewed, discussing existing methods and implementation architectures.
