Achieving Transparency in Human-Collective Systems

Creator:: Roundtree, Karina A.
Abstract:: Collective robotic systems are biologically-inspired and exhibit behaviors found in spatial swarms (e.g., fish), colonies (e.g., ants), or a combination of both (e.g., bees). Collective robotic system popularity continues to increase due to their apparent global intelligence and emergent behaviors. Many applications can benefit from the incorporation of collectives, including...

Automating Digital Human Modeling for Task Simulation and Ergonomic Evaluation to Consider Emergency Ergonomics Early in Design

Creator:: Gawand, MihirSunil
Abstract:: Digital Human Modeling (DHM) is a computational design tool that allows designers to use virtual prototypes of design for exploring ergonomics requirements. DHM brings in the advantage of reducing the time and finances committed to building the physical prototypes as well as minimizing the efforts put on performing human subject...

Investigation of the hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems survey and its impact on hospital performance

Creator:: Worley, June M.
Abstract:: In 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began requiring many hospitals in the United States to randomly survey patients who had stayed at least one night in the hospital. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey provides hospitals with valuable performance measurement data built...

Development and Trial of a Usability Testing Protocol for Biomass Cookstoves : An Interdisciplinary Approach

Creator:: Moses, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: Improved cookstoves have been designed and disseminated for several decades in an effort to address the human health and environmental issues caused by the inefficient, traditional biomass cooking and heating methods used by 40% of the world’s people. Engineers and designers working on these improved stoves have tended to focus...

Design of an accessible sleeper compartment for next generation passenger rail : investigation of user needs and application of human factors through digital human modeling

Creator:: Tabattanon, Kamolnat
Abstract:: As the trend of increasing age, weight, size, and disability within the population continues to increase, the demand for accessible transportation is expected to increase as well. Accessible and inclusive transportation is key in providing independent, barrier-free mobility for persons with accessibility needs. This thesis describes work completed in partial...

Exploration of the Integration of Markerless Motion Capture and Virtual Reality for Ergonomics Assessment of Products in Early Design

Creator:: Zhang, Jianfu
Abstract:: This thesis uses the manuscript option. The First Manuscript proposed a markerless Motion Capture (MOCAP) system with a Virtual Reality (VR) setup, which has the potential to eliminate excess cost and time associated with physical prototyping. Validation of the proposed virtual ergonomics analysis was made by measuring L4/L5 compression forces....
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Optimal Experimental System Design

Creator:: Mohseni, Seyed Alireza
Abstract:: Physical experimentation in various scientific and engineering areas continues to be a useful and often necessary approach that is applied in research, development, and for general problem solving. The experimental design process however, is iterative and often involves trial and error. Alternative designs are proposed and evaluated on cost and...

The effect of acquisition and analysis automation failure in a low-fidelity multitasking system

Creator:: Secor, William R.
Abstract:: Research into the effect of automation on human multitasking performance is primarily focused on Decision Automation (a machine suggesting a certain course of action for a human operator to take) and Action Automation (a machine carrying out a certain course of action on behalf of the human operator) while Acquisition...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Towards a Conceptual Change Model to Support Organizational Change Efforts

Creator:: Hille, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Many projects fail because employees and managers have different understandings of project "success" or "value". Other projects fail because managers are unable to effectively align organizational values with those of their employees. This problem is widely understood, but there is little empirical research that specifies the nature and effect of...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Evaluating Cultural Dimensions to Design Better User Interfaces

Creator:: Miller, Robert
Abstract:: Cultural differences between designers and users is an important aspect to consider when designing products for other countries. However, many prominent authors in the human factors engineering field have failed to specifically address how to identify and utilize cultural differences in user interface (UI) design. This research evaluated if design...
