Predicting Controller Capacity in Remote Supervision of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles
(IEEE, 2008)
In the future vision of allowing a single operator to remotely control multiple unmanned vehicles, it is not well understood what cognitive constraints limit how many vehicles and related tasks a single operator can manage. ...
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 ...
Design and Evaluation of Path Planning Decision Support for Planetary Surface Exploration
(Journal of Aerospace Computing, 2008)
Human intent is an integral part of real-time path planning and re-planning, thus any decision aiding system must support human-automation interaction. The appropriate balance between humans and automation for this task ...
The Impact of Multi-layered Data-blocks on Controller Performance
(Air Traffic Control Quarterly, 2008)
As a consequence of the push to increase National Airspace System capacity, air traffic control displays will not only have to show the increasing number of aircraft, but also all the associated data such as airspeed and ...
