ABSTRACT:
This paper presents an analysis, by a combination of dynamic systems
and fuzzy logic, of the work environment of human factor. This environment
contains a set of factors (variables) that influence human behavior in the
context of industrial safety. The definition of these behavioral factors is
made from a prior synthesis of the main factors that influence the safe
behavior of human factor. The use of system dynamics allows identifying causal
interactions between all these factors and representing these interactions
through a systemic and dynamic vision. Fuzzy logic is used to account the
qualitative and uncertain nature of variables value (called linguistic value)
resulting from the phenomenon of perception. This work is a new
conceptualization of dynamic systems and fuzzy logic for modeling the safe
behavior of human factor.
