A study of the human-system interface complexity sources in wastewater treatment plants

Published: 03 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

In human-automation interaction it is necessary to define methods and tools to assess the human-system interface complexity. In a first assessment, the use of an evaluation questionnaire aiming at detecting complexity sources in the human supervisory control room tasks in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is presented in this paper. The first results show that the elicitation of complexity sources can be useful to improve the interaction between humans and safety-critical systems in the industrial domain.
