  • The effect of automation on the frequency of Task Prioritization errors on commercial aircraft flight decks : an ASRS incident report study

    Creator:
    Wilson, Jennifer Rae
    Abstract:
    Task Management (TM) refers to the function in which the human operator manages his/her available sensory and mental resources in a dynamic, complex, safety-critical environment in order to accomplish the multiple tasks competing for a limited quantity of attention. There is reason to believe that the level of automation on...

  • A study of the ergonomics of emergency stop pushbuttons

    Creator:
    Zárate, Patricia B.
    Abstract:
    Emergency stop controls are essential parts of industrial machinery because they are designed to stop the operation in case of emergencies without risks to operators, equipment, products, or facilities. Current guidelines for emergency stop controls have been formulated based on experience but not on empirical studies. The main objectives of...

  • The effect of flight deck automation and automation proficiency on cockpit task management performance

    Creator:
    Suroteguh, Candy Brodie
    Abstract:
    Piloting a commercial aircraft involves performing multiple tasks in a real-time environment that require pilot's attention and cognitive resource allocation. Due to resource limitation, pilots must perform cockpit task management (CTM) because they cannot perform all tasks that demand their attention at once. Hence, pilots must prioritize the tasks in...

  • Factors that affect task prioritization on the flight deck

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt W.
    Abstract:
    Cockpit Task Management (CTM) is the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, execution, and termination of multiple, concurrent tasks by night crews. The primary research question posed in the current research is what factors affect task prioritization on the modern day, commercial flight deck. The conventional CTM literature was reviewed as an introduction...

  • Communicating pilot goals to an intelligent cockpit aiding system

    Creator:
    Cha, Woo Chang
    Abstract:
    A significant number of aircraft incidents and accidents have been caused, in part, by flightcrew failure to properly manage cockpit activities, such as failure to initiate activities at the appropriate time, misprioritization of activities, or the failure to appropriately monitor activities and terminate them when required. To facilitate the management...

  • 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...

  • Modeling Task Prioritization Behaviors in a Time-Pressured Multitasking Environment

    Creator:
    Toma, Takeaki
    Abstract:
    Funk’s (1991) cockpit task management (CTM) theory is structurally consistent with cognitive multitasking models: it addresses managing multiple and concurrent tasks in three stages: situation awareness, response selection, and response execution. Based on CTM theory, Colvin, Funk and Braune (2005) hypothesized that the following six factors may affect task prioritization:...

  • About good work

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...
