STAMP & STPA
Engineering for Humans: Human Factors Guidance for STPA
Massachusetts Institute of Technology | Systems Engineering Research Laboratory
Research sponsored by General Motors
Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a hazard analysis method based on a systems theoretic accident model (STAMP). In this masters thesis, I present an extension to STPA--additional guidance for examining the human in the control loop--to support deeper analysis of human factors issues. As a case study, I examine automated parallel parking systems at varied levels of automation.
I presented a tutorial of this extension at the 2017 MIT STAMP workshop, including simple rail and aviation examples.
