Driver error or designer error: Using the Perceptual Cycle Model to explore the circumstances surrounding the fatal Tesla crash on 7th May 2016
TL;DR: The analysis presented in this paper argues that rather than “driver error”, the underlying cause of this tragic incident could be in fact more akin to a “designer error’ implicating the design of the Autopilot feature itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why Did the Pilots Shut Down the Wrong Engine? Explaining Errors in Context Using Schema Theory and the Perceptual Cycle Model
TL;DR: The concept of Schema theory has been shown to describe the contextual causes of human error in the context of aviation research as discussed by the authors, with a focus on human activity in context to explain why apparently erroneous actions occurred, even though they may have appeared to be appropriate at the time.
Journal ArticleDOI
What’s the law got to do with it? Legislation regarding in-vehicle technology use and its impact on driver distraction
TL;DR: Legislation surrounding the use of in-vehicle technologies are explored in this paper from a socio-technical system perspective and shows how current legislation may have created the conditions necessary for driver distraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The explanatory power of Schema Theory: theoretical foundations and future applications in Ergonomics.
TL;DR: It is concluded that Schema Theory has made a positive contribution to Ergonomics and with continued refinement of methods to infer and represent schemata it is likely that this trend will continue.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is on your mind? Using the perceptual cycle model and critical decision method to understand the decision-making process in the cockpit
TL;DR: The PCM, and the associated schema theory, is introduced as a framework to structure and explain data collected from the critical decision method and how influential schemata can be at informing decision-making.
