Supporting Intelligent and Trustworthy Maritime Path Planning Decisions
(International Journal of Human Computer Studies, 2010)
The risk of maritime collisions and groundings has dramatically increased in the past five years despite technological advancements such as GPS-based navigation tools and electronic charts which may add to, instead of ...
Shared Authority Concerns in Automated Driving Applications
(2014-05-13)
Given the move toward driverless cars, which includes the more short-term goal of driving assistance, what the appropriate shared authority and interaction paradigms should be between human drivers and the automation remains ...
Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning for Operator State Modeling in Unmanned Vehicle Settings
(Journal of Aerospace Computing, Information, and Communication, 2011)
In this paper, we model operator states using hidden Markov models applied to human supervisory control behaviors. More specifically, we model the behavior of an operator of multiple heterogeneous unmanned vehicle systems. ...
Human-Automation Collaboration in Complex Multivariate Resource Allocation Decision Support Systems
(International Journal of Intelligent Decision Technologies, 2010)
In resource allocation problems for systems with moving planning horizons and significant uncertainty, typical of supervisory control environments, it is critical that some balance of human-automation collaboration be ...
The Role of Human-Automation Consensus in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling
(The Role of Human-Automation Consensus in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling, 2010)
Objective: This study examined the impact of increasing automation replanning rates on operator performance and workload when supervising a decentralized network of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. Background: Futuristic ...
Human-Automation Path Planning Optimization and Decision Support
(International Journal of Human Computer Studies, 2011)
Path planning is a problem encountered in multiple domains, including unmanned vehicle control, air traffic control, and future exploration missions to the Moon and Mars. Due to the voluminous and complex nature of the ...
Operator Choice Modeling for UAV Visual Search Tasks
(IEEE Transactions, 2012-09)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide unprecedented access to imagery of possible ground targets of interest in real time. The availability of this imagery is expected to increase with envisaged future missions of one ...
Unloved Aerial Vehicles: Gutting its UAV plan, the Air Force sets a course for irrelevance
(Armed Forces Journal, 2012-11)
This month's cover article challenges Air Force leader on the subject of unmanned aerial vehicles. Lt. Col. Lawrence Spinetta and Missy Cummings see disaster, or at least a long-term slide into irrelevance, in recent ...
Operator Objective Function Guidance for a Real-time Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling Algorithm
(AIAA Journal of Aerospace Computing, 2012-12)
Advances in autonomy have made it possible to invert the typical operator-to-unmanned-vehicle ratio so that asingle operator can now control multiple heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. Algorithms used in unmanned-vehicle ...
Modeling Workload Impact in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Supervisory Control
(IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part A Systems and Humans, 2010)
Discrete event simulations for futuristic unmanned vehicle (UV) systems enable a cost and time effective methodology for evaluating various autonomy and human automation design parameters. Operator mental workload is an ...
