By deducing the correlation between physiological data and “near miss,” opening the way to reducing human-caused accidents

In human work, it is almost impossible to reduce accidents to zero. Countermeasures can be taken for accidents whose cause is readily apparent, but it is difficult to prevent in advance accidents occurring from an accumulation of small amounts of fatigue and stress in a worker. Hitachi, Ltd. has ...
