Abstract
This paper aims at describing the requirements of an off-highway human-machine system able to recognize potential risky situations and consequently prevent them. The developed methodology is based on two techniques derived from the field of human factors studies, namely the Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) and the Function Allocation (FA), which have been integrated and revised to suit the specific domain of off-highway machinery. The paradigms of adaptive automation and persuasive technology will be followed in the design process. After the off-highway domain analysis a system aiming at improving operator and machine safety is presented. The information system extends the human intelligence monitoring the stability of the machine.
