 Analysis of dependencies among performance shaping factors in human reliability analysis based on a system dynamics approachJianqiao Liu, Yanhua Zou, Wei Wang, Li Zhang, Xueyang Liu, Qianqiao Ding, Zhuomin Qin and Marko Čepin Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2021, vol. 215, issue C Abstract: Performance shaping factors (PSFs) describe the influence of given contexts on human performance and are used to quantify human error probabilities (HEPs). HEPs are calculated within human reliability analysis, which is a part of probabilistic risk assessment. One challenge lies in the fact that the dependencies among PSFs are neglected, which leads to the poor estimation of HEPs. The objective of this research is to apply a system dynamics approach to the modeling and analysis of the dependencies of PSFs within the standardized plant analysis of risk–human reliability analysis method. Dependencies are built on the causalities of PSFs and are determined by the mutual information theory and the analytic hierarchy process.
