  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...
