Modified Cooper Harper Scales for Assessing Unmanned Vehicle Displays
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
In unmanned vehicle (UV) operations, displays are often the only information link between
operators and vehicles. It is essential these displays present information clearly and efficiently so that
operators can interact ...
A Predictive Model for Human-Unmanned Vehicle Systems : Final Report
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
Advances in automation are making it possible for a single operator to control multiple unmanned
vehicles (UVs). This capability is desirable in order to reduce the operational costs of human-UV systems
(HUVS), extend ...
Using Variable-Rate Alerting to Counter Boredom in Human Supervisory Control
(HFES, 2012-10)
A low task load, long duration experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of cyclical attention switching strategies on operator performance in supervisory domains. The impetus for such a study stems from the lack ...
Cognitive Task Analysis for the LCS Operator
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2006)
The following Tables and Figures detail the cognitive task analysis (CTA) performed to
determine the information requirements needed to support a single operator located aboard the
futuristic Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). ...
Selecting Metrics to Evaluate Human Supervisory Control Applications
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
The goal of this research is to develop a methodology to select supervisory control metrics. This
methodology is based on cost-benefit analyses and generic metric classes. In the context of this research,
a metric class ...
A Model-Based Measure to Assess Operator Adherence to Procedure
(HFES, 2012-10)
Procedures play an important role in domains where humans interact with critical, complex systems. In such environments, the operator’s ability to correctly follow a given set of procedures can directly impact system safety. ...
Modeling the Impact of Operator Trust on Performance in Multiple Robot Control,
(AAAI, 2013-03)
We developed a system dynamics model to simulate the impact of operator trust on performance in multiple robot control. Analysis of a simulated urban search and rescue experiment showed that operators decided to manually ...
Automation and Accountability in Decision Support System Interface Design
(Journal of Technology Studies, 2006)
When the human element is introduced into decision support system design, entirely new layers of social and ethical issues emerge but are not always recognized as such. This paper discusses those ethical and social impact ...
Developing Lunar Landing Vehicle Display Requirements through Content Analysis of Apollo Lunar Landing Voice Communications
(International Journal of Aviation Psychology, 2008)
The lengthy period since the Apollo landings limits present-day engineers attempting to draw from the experiences of veteran Apollo engineers and astronauts in the design of a new lunar lander. In order to circumvent these ...
The Impact of Intelligent Aiding for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Schedule Management
(IEEE Intelligent Systems, 2007)
There is increasing interest in designing systems such that the current many-to-one ratio of operators to unmanned vehicles (UVs) can be inverted. Instead of lower-level tasks performed by today’s UV teams, the sole operator ...
