Supporting Situation Awareness through Ecological Interface Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
A full-scope simulation study with licensed nuclear power plant operators was conducted to evaluate whether displays designed using Ecological Interface Design (EID) could support improved Situation Awareness over traditional displays. EID demonstrated performance advantages over traditional displays in beyond-design basis scenarios where operators were unable to rely on procedures. The same effects were not seen in within-design basis scenarios where procedures were available. This suggests that EID has the potential to improve SA in unanticipated situations, but that ecological interfaces should be supported with task-based displays in procedure-driven situations.

Evaluation of Ecological Interface Design for Nuclear Process Control: Situation Awareness Effects
OBJECTIVE We determine whether an ecological interface display for nuclear power plant operations supports improved situation awareness over traditional and user-centered displays in a realistic environment. BACKGROUND Ecological interface design (EID) has not yet been fully evaluated with real operators facing realistic scenarios. METHOD Ecological displays were evaluated alongside traditi...
متن کاملSupporting Remote Manipulation with an Ecological Augmented Virtuality Interface
User interfaces for remote robotic manipulation widely lack sufficient support for situation awareness and, consequently, can induce high mental workload. With poor situation awareness, operators may fail to notice task-relevant features in the environment often leading the robot to collide with the environment. With high workload, operators may not perform well over long periods of time and ma...
متن کاملWork Domain Analysis for Ecological Interface Design to Prevent Ship Collision
Anti-collision at sea is technically difficult to realize as it involves the complex interaction between human navigators, ships and surrounding topographical environment. Collision avoidance should be conducted by human navigators. This paper proposes a way to graphically present relevant information for collision avoidance to help the human navigators’ decision making. The display can provide...
متن کاملA New Single-Display Intelligent Adaptive Interface for Controlling a Group of UAVs
The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones in different civil and military operations has attracted attention of many researchers and science communities. One of the most notable challenges in this field is supervising and controlling a group or a team of UAVs by a single user. Thereupon, we proposed a new intelligent adaptive interface (IAI) to overcome to this challenge. ...
متن کاملSupporting Situation Awareness in Demanding Operating Environments through Wearable User Interfaces
The military environment is changing, e.g., the operating environment is becoming more varied and demanding. Due to these challenges, new user interfaces (UIs) are required providing improved soldier protection and performance both in day-time and night-time conditions. The new UIs should, e.g., improve the soldier’s situation awareness, i.e., perception of information, integration of pieces of...
