TL;DR: This paper offers a comprehensive overview of collision prevention techniques based on the three basic processes of determining evasive solutions, namely, motion prediction, conflict detection, and conflict resolution.

TL;DR: In this article, a modified model of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) for collision accidents between a ship and an icebreaker in ice-covered waters is proposed, which helps to analyze ship collision reports.

TL;DR: Detailed literature on probabilistic risk analysis on ship-ship collision was collected and reviewed focusing on the stakeholders which may benefit from the research and the methodologies and criteria adopted for collision risk, to potentially contribute to developing better risk models and therefore better maritime transportation systems.

TL;DR: This conceptual paper proposes a situation aware ISRM (SA-ISRM) process model to complement the information security risk management process that addresses deficiencies through an enterprise-wide collection, analysis and reporting of risk-related information.

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for maritime risk-informed collision alert system (RICAS) is presented, including a risk-conceptual basis, a systematic description of the risk perspective and a discussion on the intended use of the model.

...Several studies have shown that human error, and lack of situational awareness in particular, are important factors contributing to collisions (Chauvin et al., 2013; Gale and Patraiko, 2007; Grech et al., 2002)....

TL;DR: A theoretical model of situation awareness based on its role in dynamic human decision making in a variety of domains is presented and design implications for enhancing operator situation awareness and future directions for situation awareness research are explored.
Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model of situation awareness based on its role in dynamic human decision making in a variety of domains. Situation awareness is presented as a predominant concern in system operation, based on a descriptive view of decision making. The relationship between situation awareness and numerous individual and environmental factors is explored. Among these factors, attention and working memory are presented as critical factors limiting operators from acquiring and interpreting information from the environment to form situation awareness, and mental models and goal-directed behavior are hypothesized as important mechanisms for overcoming these limits. The impact of design features, workload, stress, system complexity, and automation on operator situation awareness is addressed, and a taxonomy of errors in situation awareness is introduced, based on the model presented. The model is used to generate design implications for enhancing operator situation awareness and future directio...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a practical guide to error management and a safety culture that reconciles the different approaches to safety management, including the human contribution and the regulator's unhappy lot.

TL;DR: It is argued that risk management must be modelled by cross-disciplinary studies, considering risk management to be a control problem and serving to represent the control structure involving all levels of society for each particular hazard category, and that this requires a system-oriented approach based on functional abstraction rather than structural decomposition.
