  • 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...

  • Cockpit task management errors : a design issue for intelligent pilot-vehicle interfaces

    Creator:
    Chou, Chung-di
    Abstract:
    In conformity with advanced cockpit automation technology, modern pilots have become airborne system managers and have to satisfactorily manage complex sets of tasks to complete a flight mission safely. Funk's (1991) normative cockpit task management (CTM) theory defines CTM functions as the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, allocating of resources to, and...

  • The role of the transcriptional regulatory protein BCL11B in dental and craniofacial development

    Creator:
    Kyrylkova, Kateryna
    Abstract:
    BCL11B is a transcriptional regulatory protein that plays essential roles during mouse embryonic development. BCL11B is expressed and functions in the immune and nervous systems as well as within ectodermal organs. Multiple studies have characterized the roles of BCL11B in T cells, brain, and skin. However, very little is known...

  • Cockpit task management errors : an ASRS incident report study

    Creator:
    Madhavan, Devadasan
    Abstract:
    The flightcrew of a modern airliner operates in a multi-tasking environment with several tasks competing for the same attentional resources at the same time. Too many tasks vying for the crew's attention concurrently imposes a heavy workload on the flightcrew. This results in the satisfactory execution of some tasks at...

  • 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...

  • A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

    Creator:
    Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-
    Abstract:
    Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...
