Abstract

Abstract Although over the years, technical systems (equipment) have been evolving, most of the occurrences in the aviation industry, namely in the ground-handling area, are related to human error, constituting a neglected topic in aviation safety. Since one works 24 h a day and 7 days a week in the aviation industry, the shift work system is the most viable and (only) option to solve this problem, making fatigue an important and quite significant safety issue. Currently, the performance and alertness of ramp workers continue to be negatively affected by fatigue, increasing the risk of accidents/incidents. In this sense, the overall objective of this study was to establish and propose a first attempt to develop a Fatigue Management System, designed to prevent ramp workers from performing their tasks when fatigued and to take appropriate mitigation actions to minimize the consequences of fatigue caused by shift work. Despite not being exhaustive, this approach may also provide good guidance for future research in this field since fatigue is not associated with sleep disorders only.

航空中的人为因素：停机坪工作人员的疲劳管理

摘要尽管多年来，技术系统（设备）一直在发展，但航空业中发生的大多数事件，即在地面处理领域，都与人为失误有关，这是航空安全中一个被忽视的话题。既然一个人工作24 h每天7 在航空业，每周工作几天，轮班制是解决这个问题最可行也是（唯一）的选择，这使得疲劳成为一个重要且相当重要的安全问题。目前，坡道工作人员的表现和警觉性继续受到疲劳的负面影响，增加了事故/事件的风险。从这个意义上说，本研究的总体目标是建立并提出开发疲劳管理系统的首次尝试，该系统旨在防止坡道工人在疲劳时执行任务，并采取适当的缓解措施，最大限度地减少轮班工作造成的疲劳后果。尽管并非详尽无遗，但这种方法也可能为该领域的未来研究提供良好的指导，因为疲劳不仅仅与睡眠障碍有关。
