New Feature to the Radar System to Enhance ATCO Performance and Situation Awareness on Radar Display
Rostom M.G., Dattel A.R., Taleisnik S.E.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
An experiment was conducted using a simulation software similar to the radar system with a new feature that makes the aircraft flight number blink on the radar display each time a pilot presses the radio button to talk. Eighteen participants volunteered. In the first scenario, the flashing feature was turned “OFF.” In the second scenario, the flashing feature was turned “ON.” Each participant was tested on three occasions. The first occasion was the “stuck-microphone” situation, the second was similarity in call-sign situation, the third was simultaneous transmission of voice communication from two or more flights on the radio that distorted the modulation. Participants identified significantly more aircraft when the flashing feature was active compared to when it was inactive. Consequently, it is anticipated that this flashing feature will likely reduce verbal communication between pilots and controllers, thereby improving overall controller performance and maintaining safe airspace operation.
Computer Vision Embedded Post-Processing Algorithm on Lifting Risks
Liu P., Chen H., Yu D.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
This research aims to enhance ergonomic assessments by integrating computer vision algorithms with NIOSH lifting index parameters (HM, VM, DM, AM). Current methods are manual and subjective, lacking real-time analysis. Utilizing the coordinates of 17 body joint points, our algorithm automates this process, improving the precision, objectivity, and timeliness of ergonomic evaluations.
Distributed Space Team Coordination: An Agent-based Modeling and Simulation Approach
Yin X., Gorman J.C.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
Space missions present unique challenges for teams, requiring effective communication, coordination, and cooperation under stress and physical strain. As humans venture further into space, communication latency becomes a significant challenge, with delays ranging from seconds to minutes. This latency affects team performance and cognitive load, whether the team consists of humans, machines, or both. Shared mental models can help manage these delays, but the lack of “shared context” due to varied physical environments can impede their development. Extensive astronaut training, lasting 5 to 10 years, makes realistic simulation of space tasks challenging for study participants. Using an Agent-Based Model (ABM) and a scenario built from interviews with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), this study simulates complex interactions and coordination challenges in space teaming, addressing the complexities and dynamic nature of space missions.
Public Health Decision-Making Using Uncertainty Displays
Tessema T., Vasquez H., Rosella L., Donmez B.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
High rates of chronic disease have created challenges for public health decision-makers in resource allocation. Decision tools designed to support public health professionals can help address these challenges. This study aims to investigate the impact of different uncertainty visualization techniques on user perceptions. The study was designed for the purpose of supporting the development of CDPoRT, a chronic disease risk prediction tool. Participants performed a fictional recourse allocation decision-making task with map-based visualizations, tables with and without uncertainty data, and a table with uncertainty explanation. The findings show that CDPoRT’s user interface may benefit from the inclusion of an overlay map to visualize the rate and uncertainty information for public health resource allocation decisions. Future research can consider the development of interactive features to facilitate comparisons between multiple geographical regions and simulate interventions.

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
Patient falls are common injuries in hospitals, and many occur surrounding a patient’s need to use the bathroom. In this study, we used the TripTech Method to design and evaluate early-stage design concepts for fall prevention and reduction of occupational injury associated with toileting falls. Nurse participants saw an opportunity in getting their patients to engage in their own recovery in increase the potential for cooperation, and also desired tools which could make the process physically easier for staff and patients which were also accessible when needed. Participants also discussed concerns about higher-tech tools, including affordability issues which could lead to further healthcare disparity. Overall, our research demonstrates how human-centered methods are valuable in focusing design efforts on the most pressing challenges experienced by users to avoid wasted investment in ineffective or unwanted technology.
Ethical Considerations for Autonomous Vehicle Behavior: Approach and Framework
Conway D., Degani A., Dogan E., Hofvenschiold E., Little J., Palade P.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
The deployment of autonomous vehicles will demand consistent and agreed-upon behavior in the form of standard driving rules for maneuvers (e.g., lane changes) as well as defined responses to specific road situations such as giving way to emergency vehicles and when crashes are unavoidable. This paper provides an approach to the implementation of ethical considerations for highly automated vehicles and autonomous vehicles by suggesting standard driving rules and a framework for the generation and evaluation of these rules. This framework is generic and can instantiate any set of ethical concepts (e.g., Western or Eastern schools of ethics) and cultural norms (e.g., European, Latin American, Asian) and be applied to other technological domains such as robot ethics and AI ethics.
Does Augmenting Virtual Reality-Based Cognitive Training with Longitudinal, Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improve Visual Search Performance? A Neurobehavioral Evaluation
Rao A.K., Bhat K.R., Negi R., Bhavsar A., Dutt V.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of combining Virtual Reality (VR)-based cognitive training with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in enhancing visual processing. Eighty participants undertook a 20-day, single-blind, placebo-controlled study across pre-intervention (Day 1), intervention (Day 2–Day 9), and post-intervention phases (Day 10 and Day 20). Participants were randomly assigned to four groups: tDCS + VR, VR + placebo tDCS, tDCS + placebo VR, and placebo tDCS + placebo VR. After undertaking three visual processing tasks on Day 1, participants underwent intervention from Day 2 to Day 9 and followed up with post-intervention testing on Days 10 and 20. Results revealed that the tDCS + VR condition showed significantly improved sensitivity in visual search on Day 10. EEG results indicated that anodal tDCS coupled with VR training enhanced cortical activation in the tDCS + VR condition. This study underscores the potential of cognitive training programs integrating VR and tDCS.
Validating Measures of Team Reorganization and Interdependency in Response to Uncertainty in an Air Battle Management Task

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
Teams working in complex, high-stakes environments may encounter uncertain situations for which they are not trained and can suffer dangerous consequences if they fail to overcome such uncertainty. We focus on how reorganization and dynamic interdependency across communications and air battle management (ABM) assets in response to uncertainty can be quantified in dynamic task environments. We analyzed data from a 5-day experiment conducted in an ABM task scenario to validate metrics of team reorganization and dynamic interdependency. Interactions quantifying reorganization and interdependency across technological task components significantly predicted team performance and higher interdependency of team communications also predicted better performance. Our findings indicate that reorganization and interdependency, primarily across technological assets, may be valid predictors of team effectiveness. Practical implications of this work primarily relate to assisting teams to achieve adaptive team-level proficiencies to uncertainty-inducing perturbations by providing objective feedback on reorganization and interdependency during team training.

Yang W., Matsubayashi S., Miwa K., Kitayama S., Otsuka M., Hamada K.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
It is important that advanced driver assistance systems provide drivers with alarms at the time when the driver fails to detect vulnerable road users (VRUs). In this study, we employed the paradigm which was developed by Yang et al. to analyze the detectability of VRUs at the intersection. Nine VRUs were involved, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorbikes in the same direction as the driver, in the opposite and orthogonal direction to the driver. As the results, the detectability of pedestrians and motorbikes were lower than the detectability of cyclists. On the other hand, the detectability of VRUs in the same direction as the driver was lower than the detectability of VRUs in other directions.
Naturalistic Observations of Human Driving Perceptions and Vehicle Kinematics at Stop Sign-Controlled Intersections

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
Understanding the human factors of how drivers perceive hazards and behave at stop sign-controlled intersections is essential for developing effective roadway features. This study aimed to evaluate the naturalistic behaviors of drivers at stop sign-controlled intersections and to assess the speeds at which drivers maneuvered through stop signs when no cross-traffic was present. To this end, 62 vehicles were analyzed in two, two-lane, four-way roadway intersections in Michigan. Results of this study indicate that most drivers slow to non-zero minimum speeds before traveling through an intersection and measurably encroach beyond stop lines. Assessment of lines of sight and visual obstructions at the subject intersections indicate that drivers’ perceptions of risk, evaluation of potential hazards, and cost of compliance ultimately impact behavior, as seen through vehicle kinematics.

SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
A study was designed for a reconfigurable, full-scale, full-scope nuclear power plant control room simulator to compare two different thermal power dispatch systems, on separate simulator platforms, demonstrating a TPD concept of operation. A TPD system can provide a desirable alternative revenue source for utilities but requires addressing new and unique operational issues. The selection of representative scenarios and the scenario-based experimental design are presented as key elements to capture evidence for validating the developed TPD concept of operations overcome these operational issues.
Graphical Features & Perceptions of Reliability
Sullivan V., Atchley J.A., Vangsness L., Tenhundfeld N.L.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
This study examines the impact of graphical features on perceived reliability and user trust in automated systems. Participants viewed 60 static graphs showing system reliability over time, with variables such as maximum reliability, minimum reliability, average reliability, cumulative probability of success/failure, and slope. Each graph was presented with different success or failure rates. Participants rated the system’s reliability, predicted success rates, and willingness to rely on the system. Analysis revealed that perceived reliability was most influenced by minimum reliability when success was depicted and maximum reliability when failure was depicted. These findings suggest that user perceptions of reliability are complex and not solely dependent on the expected features of system performance, indicating a need for further research into the relationship between graphical representations and perceived reliability.

Design, Development, and Validation of a Military Orientated Re-configurable Cognitive Task Battery
Sabine G., Thompson D.J.
SAGE
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
The United Kingdom’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has developed an innovative military cognitive task battery tool titled: Interactive Measures of Performance and Assessment of Cognitive Tasks (IMPACT). The purpose of the tool is to support the objective assessment of cognitive task performance and task demand across a range of military system types, use cases and experimental settings. IMPACT consists of six, reconfigurable, generic military tasks, and an intuitive user interface for the experimenter to configure the tool and collect data. Initial validation of the IMPACT tool has been undertaken and a number of early adopters have used the tool to support trials, system development and experimentation. The validation results show that the six individual IMPACT tasks broadly stimulate the associated cognitive attributes; as mapped and originally conceived during the design and development of the tool; as measured by subjective assessment techniques, psychophysiological monitoring, and performance measures. IMPACT continues to be refined in response to feedback from the validation exercise and early adopters of the tool.

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2024 citations by CoLab: 0  |  Abstract
Vigilance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain attention over time. Vigilance decrement is particularly concerning in clinical environments where shift work and long working hours are common. This study identifies significant factors and indicators for predicting and monitoring individuals’ vigilance decrement. We enrolled 11 participants and measured their vigilance levels by recording their reaction times while completing the Psychomotor Vigilance Test. Additionally, we measured participants’ physiological responses and collected their sleep deprivation data, demographic information, and self-reported anxiety levels. Using repeated-measures correlation analysis, we found that decreased vigilance levels, indicated by longer reaction times, were associated with higher electrodermal activity ( p < .01), lower skin temperature ( p < .001), shorter fixation durations ( p < .05), and increased saccade frequency ( p < .05). Moreover, sleep deprivation significantly affected vigilance decrement ( p < .001). Our findings provide the potential to develop a predictive model of vigilance decrements using physiological signals collected from non-intrusive devices, as an alternative to current behavior-based methods.
