The importance of monitoring activities in control rooms continues to increase. Teams of operators are required to monitor a system for any abnormal system behavior, and must be able to exert manual control over the system in case of automation ...

This paper explores the impact that large screen overview displays have on human performance in a nuclear power plant control room. We collected direct performance measures (accuracy and response time) in a full scope, digital research simulator, ...

In the nuclear industry, while there exists a growing body of knowledge on human reliability data for actions inside the main control room, there is a lack of empirical data for field operator tasks. In this paper we present an initial study to ...

Operating procedures provide a description of the actions that are needed to operate a particular system in a safe and efficient manner. We developed an analysis framework for the identification of resilience skills that enable intelligent use of ...

Large-scale buildings have been leading the application of BIM technology for progress management. However, the progress management of the substation is still relying on manual handwritten records, which will delay the owner’s understanding of ...

In todays control centres such as traffic control centres, police control centres or in emergency control centres more and more messages arrive. The control centre personnel has to understand the messages and initiate measures to handle the ...

In the operation of nuclear power plant and especially when the digital human-machine interactive system is adopted, the cognitive decision and acts of operator play more and more important role in determine the plant’s safe operation. In order to ...

In the lifecycle of a nuclear power plant (NPP), commissioning is the last stage before commercial operation. To understand the nature of human errors in NPP commissioning tasks, the IDHEAS (Integrated Human Event Analysis System) method was ...

The peaceful use of nuclear energy has been attractive around the world due to its advantages of high energy density, reliability and cleanliness. Although nuclear energy has the bright prospect of eventually becoming the vital approach to reduce ...

The recent progress in robotics and artificial intelligence raises the question of the efficient artificial agents interaction with humans. For instance, artificial intelligence has achieved technical advances in perception and decision making in ...

On a team, autonomy must be able to work alongside human counterparts and carry out the fundamentals of teamwork and taskwork. In this paper we refer to these machine teammates as autonomy. These Human-Autonomy Teams (HATs) need to be assembled ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technology that is utilized in autonomous systems. However, using AI in such systems introduces also several safety challenges, many of which are related to complex human-AI interactions. In general, these ...

Real-time strategy games often times mimic the appearance and feel of military-like command and control systems. Artificial intelligence and machine learning research enjoys utilizing the environments produced by these games and are often focused ...

Human beings are not completely rational; there is some irrationality, as well as bounded rationality, involved in the nature of human thinking. It has been shown through recent advances in quantum cognitive science that certain aspects of human ...

In this work, we describe a concept of how multiple users can be given coordinated access to a limited number of unmanned assets. Previous research efforts studied concepts of controlling multiple unmanned vehicles in manned-unmanned-teams. ...

Artificially intelligent agents will deal with more morally sensitive situations as the field of AI progresses. Research efforts are made to regulate, design and build Artificial Moral Agents (AMAs) capable of making moral decisions. This research ...

Along with the rapid technological developments in the past few decades, human work is becoming more knowledge-based, and professional expertise is becoming even more important. In this way, effective methods to retrieve and transfer such ...

Past studies have found that the in-group membership of an intelligent agent can improve users’ trust. We explored whether such an effect depends on system reliability levels and anthropomorphic appearance. We manipulated reliability levels (95%, ...

Past studies have found that values and attitudes influenced by national culture remain detectable in airline pilots, even after equalisation by training and organisational exposure. There is however insufficient research to ascertain if this ...

To protect pedestrian safety, automated vehicles can adopt a conservative strategy by yielding to pedestrians in all interactions and external human-machine interface was suggested to convey vehicle intentions to pedestrians. However, automated ...

The future of Remote Tower Operations is focusing on the development and implementation of the Multiple Remote Tower Operations (MRTO) which allows for monitoring and controlling several aerodromes in parallel. While Single Remote Tower ...

Many air crashes are related to pilots’ mental workload and their risk perception when they meet adverse weather. The ability to manage weather risk is critical for pilots’ performance. However, it is difficult to reflect variations in ...

The evaluation of driving performance is a vital way to reflect the usability of in-vehicle system. Study the impact of in-vehicle interaction on driving performance can help avoiding hidden driving dangers. Speed of vehicles and distance from the ...

A clear understanding of how the pilot processes the information in the cockpit while carrying out particular tasks is crucial for developing the Human-Machine Interface and inceptors that help reduce pilot workload. Eye-tracking data ...

Objective: Due to there is no eye ellipse for Chinese driver, this study aimed at carrying out research on the eye ellipse test of Chinese drivers. Methods: This test used camera position method (SAE) to measure the eye ellipse. 510 drivers (250 ...
