Human Considerations

During an incident involving vehicle roll-over, impact from blast, or ditching into water crew may be subjected to some or all of the following:

• Partial or total disorientation within the cabin space due to vehicle movement and/or physiological impact.
• Lost or impaired visibility of exits, handles, and other escape components due to smoke, water and possibly plume from fire suppression devices.
• Possible physical or mental injury caused by vehicle impact.
• Panic, and overwhelming desire to escape; thus increasing chaos within the cabin environment resulting in possible competition/collision with other escapees.
• Asphyxiation, impacting all of the above and limiting time for escape.

Mitigating the above is critical in maintaining crew survivability following an incident; as well as improving crew confidence and demonstrating Duty of Care to the vehicle users.

HalO and its supporting capabilities help to mitigate these risks.
