A Human Factors Analysis Method for Marine Accident Evolution Using HFACS-EI Model

The study on marine accidents has been a keen subject in ocean engineering for long. This paper develops an HFACS-EI Framework based on the original HFACS Framework. The framework is further combined with Cognitive Map (CM) in marine accident evolution analysis which is divided into four stages. A hybrid accident analysis approach combining HFACS-EI Framework and CM not only provides classification of human factors under six levels, but also...
