GALIOT AI in Action - Part II
AI Powered Human Factors Analysis
The Goal: Detect & Justify Human Factors Causing Near-Miss/Mishap!Why!
Human factors remains the leading cause of aviation incidents and mishaps.GALIOT AI analyzes report narratives to identify contributing human factors, classifying them into categories like preconditions, unsafe acts, and violations.
More than just a label, it provides a clear justification for each classification, empowering your investigators to validate findings quickly and focus on developing effective mitigation measures.
GALIOT AI is trained on the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) version 8.0.
This powerful framework helps safety personnel identify the link between organizational weaknesses and an individual's active failures, improve mishap prevention strategies, and provide a standard, data-driven approach to analysis.

Here's GALIOT AI in action, identifying, classifying and providing human factor support statement for a randomly selected report from the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) database.Pay attention to how each factor is linked to the adequate entity performing the task analysed.
(To ensure privacy, reports from the ASRS database are deidentified, meaning all personal information and airport identifications have been removed or masked.")
Safety Report Narrative:
We landed on Runway 8L and were instructed to make a right turn on to Taxiway E and hold short of Runway 04L. Proceeded as instructed. Then told to cross Runway 04L and hold short of Runway 04R. Proceeded as instructed. At that time I looked down to my electronic device to see where we were; when I looked up I just caught a glimpse of what I thought was the first hold-short line going the other way. Looking for our hold-short we proceeded. Not knowing that we just had crossed both hold-short lines. We then stopped 20 feet before the runway but had already crossed the hold-short line. We stopped in that position because we want to clear our tail from the runway we just crossed. Tower told us that we just crossed the hold-short line. Both myself and Captain did not see the hold-short line for Runway 4R. There were hot spots on the 10-9A page, HS4, but I feel that that information should be more specific as to how close the hold-short lines are together. The Tower should have info us and all aircraft that in that area aircraft tails would encroach the runway. Several aircraft have had the same situation. If you look at the hold-short lines on Taxiway K between Runway 4R, 4L, 8L, in all my flying I have not seen hold-short line like this and the Tower and airport know about it. This is a situation that they are aware of and nothing has been done or give instructions to the pilot to make them know that it is a tight area. Look at these hot spots. More should be done to prevent professional pilots from being dinged.
