Human-machine interface quality assessment techniques: Green and safety issues

This paper considers the aspects of green-technologies application in the human-machine interfaces (HMI) of information and control systems (I&Cs). The improved quality model of user-program interface, which introduces and elaborates green characteristics, is presented. The I&Cs reliability analysis is provided using Markov´s model, that takes into account HMI properties and operator errors. The model is solved using mathematical package Mathematica and obtained results analysis is presented. In addition, the paper considers the structure of information technology for HMI quality assessment, that allows to increase the assessment trustworthiness.
