Abstract

BACKGROUND: Using the theory of complex systems, some human functions (thinking, memory, language) and human relationships have been analyzed and explained. In order to study the limits of human performance (in Air Traffic Controllers and pilots) a new concept was created, called the Human Performance Envelope (HPE). OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to apply the principles of the complex system to the analysis of the human factors of the HPE concept. Moreover, this paper’s objective is to create a mathematical model that will give the opportunity to study all the physiological ergonomic factors, not only the ones that are most commonly studied. The most studied factors are mental workload, stress and situation awareness (SA). By applying the mathematical model, it is possible to analyze all the physiological factors (stress, mental workload, fatigue, attention, vigilance and SA). METHODS: In the present paper the theory of complex systems (hybrid modelling) was applied to the Human Performance Envelope concept. A mathematical model was created, then it was validated and solved based on previous researches. RESULTS: Firstly, a literature analysis was performed on the complex systems application by the present researchers concerning pilots’ HPE. The proportional and inverse proportional relationships between the nine human factors were visually illustrated. Finally, a mathematical model was proposed, consisting of a set of equations, which were partially validated by the experiments on pilots done by other researchers. CONCLUSIONS: Further research is required to validate the whole mathematical model, including physiological measurements (experiments) for the six ergonomic factors and the applied heuristic psychosocial methods for the others.

人的绩效包络的数学启发式建模

背景：运用复杂系统理论，对人的某些功能（思维、记忆、语言）和人际关系进行了分析和解释。为了研究（空中交通管制员和飞行员）人的表现极限，提出了一个新概念，称为人的表现包络（HPE）。目的：将复杂系统原理应用于HPE概念的人因分析。此外，本文的目标是创建一个数学模型，使其有机会研究所有生理工效学因素，而不仅仅是最常研究的因素。研究最多的因素是心理工作量、压力和情境意识（SA）。通过应用数学模型，可以分析所有的生理因素（压力、脑力劳动、疲劳、注意力、警惕性和SA）。方法：本文将复杂系统理论（混合建模）应用于人的绩效包络概念。建立了数学模型，并在前人研究的基础上进行了验证和求解。结果：首先，对飞行员HPE在复杂系统中的应用进行了文献分析。直观地说明了九种人为因素之间的比例关系和反比关系。最后，提出了一个由一组方程组成的数学模型，并通过其他研究人员在飞行员身上进行的实验进行了部分验证。结论：需要进一步的研究来验证整个数学模型，包括六个人体工程学因素的生理测量（实验）和其他因素的启发式心理社会方法。

期刊介绍： Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
