Cyber analysis is a complex task that requires the coordination of a large sociotechnical system of human analysts working together with technology. Adequate situation awareness of such a complex system requires more than aggregate situation awareness of individuals. Teamwork in the form of communication and information coordination is at the heart of team-level situation awareness. In this pos...

OBJECTIVE We present a snapshot of the work on situation awareness, which involves operators' comprehension of the dynamic situation that they are monitoring or controlling. BACKGROUND Although human factors has always been concerned with helping the operator in his or her work environment, research exploded in the mid-1990s on one relevant construct, situation awareness. METHOD We discuss ...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) became a fast moving field of research in the last decades, in particular in the context of continuously growing mobility and a high employment of resources starting from energy and material consumption to travel time and finally the human life. As it has already been experienced in other application areas, the introduction of communications technology i...

To explain what I mean by " situation awareness " I often use the example of watching the games like Ameri-can football or baseball. Since I have never learned the rules and the strategies of these games, when watching them on TV, although I can clearly see where each player is and where the ball is, I still have no idea of what is going on. Clearly, in this case I cannot claim that I am aware ...

Abstract Navigational Safety in maritime operations is a high priority issue. In recent collaboration between IHPC and SP, an AI-based Behaviour Competency Assessment Tool prototype was developed to aid instructors assessing soft-skill competencies of watchkeepers conducting navigation, proof-of-concept demonstration performed for Situational Awareness at SP’s Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) t...

With an increased role of modeling and simulation new cockpit technologies can be thoroughly evaluated before being implemented in an aircraft. This process of evaluation, however, needs to be guided by a framework based on our knowledge of the strengths and limitations of the human operator. Situation awareness (SA) has become the dominant construct used in evaluating new technology. However, ...

Our goal is to improve the design of humanUnmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) interaction so operators can have better situation awareness (SA) of conditions pertaining to the UAVs. We developed a UAV interaction design approach that uses pre-loaded terrain data to augment real-time video data sensed by the UAVs. We hypothesized that augmentation of the video in this manner would provide better SA th...
