Abstract:
Cognitive models capture the behavior of human agents and allow the assessment of risks by prediction of human performance in simulated hazardous environments. In this paper, a combined approach of bottom-up cognitive modeling and top-down operation process modeling is proposed to facilitate the psychologically plausible modeling of complex operations involving multiple human agents. Hereby, we aim at using process and cognitive models productively in the planning and a priori simulation of concrete scenarios to improve safety in offshore operations. We demonstrate our modeling approach with an exemplary multi agent scenario from the maritime domain and discuss its possible application in an operation planning tool aimed at domain experts.
