Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to develop multi-layered resilient systems for safety control of transportation under unanticipated events, as well as a new legal theory for analyzing negligence that can reflect human characteristics of situation recognition and decision making with insufficient information under time stress. Three research units (viz., the human factors research unit, the engineering design research unit, and the authority and responsibility research unit) are defined to develop (1) evaluation and training methods for resilience of an individual as well as an organization, (2) design guidelines for resilience of engineering systems, (3) a dual control theoretic system that tries to perform the maximum possible safety control while allowing human intervention whenever the human is ready to do so, and (4) a new legal theory that clarifies authority and responsibility among humans and machines under risk environment.
