Role of modeling, future research, knowledge and new technologies in understanding disaster risk

Professional groups in which the human factor plays an essential role in coping with a risk situation but also in daily life situations are: drivers, pilots, captains, dispatchers in industrial facilities, air traffic controllers, doctors and medical personnel, technical assistants and police in dangerous situations. An essential feature of the human factor is the safety of action in stressful situations. Using the monitoring system smardwatch, important features such as - dealing with stress, break - out moments, burn out, acute stress, chronic stress, uncertain behavior, nervous or depressive behavior, ability to relax and the moments of natural tendencies to fatigue can be detected. In a study thedriving behavior of vehicle drivers (n = 17) in 6 different passenger car types was investigated during long-term drive. The relationship between 4 different types of stress behavior and reaction time during the drive could be established (Stress controler - reaction time <1.2 sec, coper - reaction> 1.5 sec, 5sec remains constant and noncoper reaction time> 1.2 sec and strongly increasing). In a study of runners, thecorrelation between the ability to relax and the placement in competition could be demonstrated (n = 20, Spearman rank = 0.9702).The occurrence of short - term black out s concerning vegetative – nervous reaction and the frequency of play errors duringthe performance (n = 21) was detected by professional musicians. The use of relaxation training and physical training as a means to reduce stress and increase the security of the action are presented by examples.
