ABSTRACT

When considering the human factors/ergonomics issues associated with system liability, whether from a design or forensics perspective, it is essential to understand fully the involved system space components’ dynamics-that is, the component interactions and interfaces. However, in order to do so, one must know and understand the essential system components: those that assist in as well as those that detract from the system’s performance. Not all system components affecting system performance are designed, intended, or desired.
