This paper examines various control locations in heavy mining vehicles. Three trucks have been tested on a skid pad in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. The skid lengths were measured after each trial. The primary focus of the study was the positioning of various controls and their relevance to various skid lengths. Some additional measures such as NASA-TLX scales were also used to m...

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of situation complexity and driving experience on subjective workload and driving performance, and the less costly and the most effective strategies faced with a hazard pedestrian crossing. Four groups of young drivers (15 traditionally trained novices, 12 early-trained novices, 15 with three years of experience and 15 with a minimum of fi...

Research seeking to improve the measurement of workload requires the use of established task load manipulations to impose varying levels of demand on human operators. The present study sought to establish task load manipulations for research utilizing realistically complex task environments that elicit distinct levels of workload (i.e. low, medium, and high). A repeated measures design was used...

Intrusion detection systems are common in contemporary enterprises. These systems are sometimes operated by a single individual as a part time activity; they are sometimes operated by cyber security operation centres in which a group of technology experts with the sole task of monitoring, detecting, analysing and responding to threatening events in the computer network. In either case, human fa...

The role of humans in aviation and other domains continues to shift from manual control to automation monitoring. Studies have found that humans are often poorly suited for monitoring roles, and workload can easily spike in offnominal situations. Current workload measurement tools, like NASA TLX, use human operators to assess their own workload after using a prototype system. Such measures are ...

The research was conducted to compare the impacts of problem-based learning (PBL) and example-based learning (EBL) on the learning performance in an engineering domain. The research was implemented by means of experimental design. Specifically, a two-group experiment with a preand post-test design was used in this research. A total of 37 students were randomly assigned to PBL and EBL groups. A ...

The focus of this study is the introduction of the construct of Human Mental Workload (HMW) in Web design, aimed at supporting current interaction design practices. An experiment has been conducted using the original Wikipedia and Google web-interfaces, and using two slightly different versions. Three subjective psychological mental workload assessment techniques (NASA-TLX, Workload Profile and...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a construction robot master-slave teleoperation system with video cameras and force feedback based on behavioral and subjective measures. The system can provide an operator with a realistic force feeling according to the actuator condition using the velocity-driving force characteristics. The teleoperation system comprises two joysticks on the master sid...

Tailless (Tlx) is an orphan nuclear receptor which is specifically expressed in the neural stem cells of the two largest germinal neurogenesis zones in the adult mouse brain, the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus. By interacting with its cofactors, Tlx represses its target genes and plays an important role in the maintenance o...

The mental workload and ergonomic aspects in the world of work have often not been considered. Although past literature it has stated that a direct impact on worker productivity. main objective this research is to evaluate ergonomics aspect measure UNISBA Faculty Engineering education staff. method used study an evaluation questionnaire (ergonomic checklist) (Nasa-TLX). stages carried out inclu...
