Download or read book Automation and Human Performance written by Raja Parasuraman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is perhaps no facet of modern society where the influence of computer automation has not been felt. Flight management systems for pilots, diagnostic and surgical aids for physicians, navigational displays for drivers, and decision-aiding systems for air-traffic controllers, represent only a few of the numerous domains in which powerful new automation technologies have been introduced. The benefits that have been reaped from this technological revolution have been many. At the same time, automation has not always worked as planned by designers, and many problems have arisen--from minor inefficiencies of operation to large-scale, catastrophic accidents. Understanding how humans interact with automation is vital for the successful design of new automated systems that are both safe and efficient. The influence of automation technology on human performance has often been investigated in a fragmentary, isolated manner, with investigators conducting disconnected studies in different domains. There has been little contact between these endeavors, although principles gleaned from one domain may have implications for another. Also, with a few exceptions, the research has tended to be empirical and only theory-driven. In recent years, however, various groups of investigators have begun to examine human performance in automated systems in general and to develop theories of human interaction with automation technology. This book presents the current theories and assesses the impact of automation on different aspects of human performance. Both basic and applied research is presented to highlight the general principles of human-computer interaction in several domains where automation technologies are widely implemented. The major premise is that a broad-based, theory-driven approach will have significant implications for the effective design of both current and future automation technologies. This volume will be of considerable value to researchers in human

Download or read book Human Automation Interaction written by Mustapha Mouloua and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and development in the field of man-machine systems has evolved tremendously in the last 20 years. For almost every man-machine system, whether in the aviation industry, medical systems, industrial process control, or just for use in leisure activities or the home environment, it is possible to see many automated systems and devices that have replaced the human component as a key element. The fast evolution in computer technology has transformed the course of our daily lives by making these technological innovations a viable option on which to rely. These varied technological advances have reduced the burden of excessive physical and cognitive demands imposed upon human operators. However, they have also resulted in several behavior related problems such as a loss in situation awareness, increased mental workload, monitoring inefficiency, and inability to revert to manual control under systems malfunction. Covering a wide variety of human factors issues across several domains of application, this volume represents a snapshot of a series of experimental and investigative studies concerned with the impact of automation technology on human performance. The topics addressed deal with both theoretical and applied issues. Although more emphasis was placed on the aviation industry, several other human-machine systems where automation technology is implemented are also represented. This book enables students, scientists, and researchers from a variety of fields such as academia, government, and industry to achieve the following: * review and update their basic and applied knowledge in several domains where automation technology is implemented; * review and evaluate recent empirical studies on automation and human performance across several domains; * address training issues and guidelines for the design of intelligent, hybrid human-machine systems; and * discuss future trends in automation research applicable to the 21st century.

Download or read book An Examination of Complex Human Machine System Performance Under Multiple Levels and Stages of Automation written by Scott M. Galster and published by . This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of automation into highly complex systems has occurred under several guiding principles. The application of these principles has often resulted in tenuous interactions with regard to human performance within complex systems. With advances in technology increasing, it is no longer applicable to look at single automated tools but rather at how several automated tools fit together and affect system performance. A common framework utilizing a model of human interaction with automation based on simple human information- processing stages was used in the design and analysis of 4 experiments. The first 3 experiments utilized a visual search paradigm and varied the stage the automation was present and the reliability of the automation that was used. For these studies, the automation that helped the operator locate the potential target demonstrated a clear advantage over automation that recommended a course of action when the automation was perfectly reliable. The 4th study examined all of the possible combinations of manual and automated aiding for the 4 stages in an air-to-ground search and destroy mission that was carried out in a high fidelity combat flight simulator. By utilizing separate stage metrics, it was demonstrated that the automation in 1 stage influenced performance in subsequent stages and throughout the entire mission.
