The current status of the use of PCs in human reliability analysis

Abstract This paper reviews current methodologies employed in HRA, and examines the current and potential role PC-based systems may play in the HRA task. The role of PCs as a support tool for data manipulation and analysis for HRA is examined, and a survey of existing PC packages implementing HRA methodologies and models is presented. The authors offer comments on other potential applications of PCs to HRA, including expert opinion, expert system and psychological scaling.
