TL;DR: In this paper, a goal-directed task analysis was conducted to determine the specific situation awareness information requirements for commercial aircraft pilots, and a determination of the major situation awareness requirements for visual and instrument flight was developed from this analysis, providing a foundation for future system development which seeks to enhance pilot situation awareness.
Abstract: Situation awareness is presented as a fundamental requirement for good airmanship, forming the basis for pilot decision making and performance. To develop a better understanding of the role of situation awareness in flying, an analysis was performed to determine the specific situation awareness information requirements for commercial aircraft pilots. This was conducted as a goal-directed task analysis in which pilots' major goals, subgoals, decisions, and associated situation awareness information requirements were delineated based on elicitation from experienced commercial airline pilots. A determination of the major situation awareness information requirements for visual and instrument flight was developed from this analysis, providing a foundation for future system development which seeks to enhance pilot situation awareness and provide a basis for the development of situation awareness measures for commercial flight.

TL;DR: This paper identifies opportunities from computer vision techniques to improve WAMI target tracking, relate developments of clustering methods for activity-based intelligence and stochastic context-free grammars for accessing, indexing, and linking relevant information to assist processing and exploitation, and addresses situation awareness methods of multi-intelligence collaboration for future automated video understanding techniques.
Abstract: The advent of streaming feeds of full-motion video (FMV) and wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) have overloaded an image analyst's capacity to detect patterns, movements, and patterns of life To aid in the process of WAMI exploitation, we explore computer vision and pattern recognition methods to cue the user to salient information For enhanced exploitation and analysis, there is a need to develop WAMI methods for situation awareness Computer vision algorithms provide cues, contexts, and communication patterns to enhance exploitation capabilities Multi-source data fusion using exploitation context from the video needs to be linked to semantically extracted elements for situation awareness to aid an operator in rapid image understanding In this paper, we identify: (1) opportunities from computer vision techniques to improve WAMI target tracking, (2) relate developments of clustering methods for activity-based intelligence and stochastic context-free grammars for accessing, indexing, and linking relevant information to assist processing and exploitation, and (3) address situation awareness methods of multi-intelligence collaboration for future automated video understanding techniques Our example uses the open-source Columbus Large Image Format (CLIF) WAMI data to demonstrate connection of video-based semantic labeling with other information fusion enterprise capabilities incorporating text-based semantic extraction

TL;DR: The Human-Automation System Oversight (HASO) model provides guidance on the design of vehicle autonomy to facilitate effective human-autonomy design for semi-autonomous vehicles.
Abstract: Vehicle autonomy is being heavily promoted as a means of improving transportation safety on the roadways. This goal, however, is highly dependent on the ability of human drivers to maintain situation awareness and intervene in circumstances that the automation cannot handle. While autonomy software is improving, it remains far less capable than human drivers. The automation conundrum shows that even as it improves, system autonomy is increasingly likely to reduce the ability of drivers to provide needed oversight. The Human-Automation System Oversight (HASO) model provides guidance on the design of vehicle autonomy to facilitate effective human-autonomy design for semi-autonomous vehicles.

TL;DR: A generic conceptual framework for developing IAIs is proposed to guide interface design, integrating a user-centered design approach with the concept of proactive use of adaptive intelligent agents (AIAs), aiming at maximizing overall system performance.
Abstract: Intelligent adaptive interfaces (IAIs) are emerging technologies that promise opportunities for enhancing performance in complex sociotechnical environments, such as multiple uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) control. However, a lack of established design guidelines for such advanced interfaces makes many designs costly and ineffective. In this paper, a generic conceptual framework for developing IAIs is proposed to guide interface design. The framework integrates a user-centered design approach with the concept of proactive use of adaptive intelligent agents (AIAs), aiming at maximizing overall system performance. Based on existing design approaches, identified challenges, and IAI design needs, the framework uses a multiple-agent hierarchical structure to allocate tasks between operators and agents for optimizing operator-agent interaction. These AIAs provide interface aids as a means of reducing operator workload, and increasing situation awareness and operational effectiveness. The framework and associated IAI models provide guidance to design a knowledge-based system, such as a UAV control station interface.

TL;DR: An evaluation of research and measures used in HF research on ATC that will aid research and ATC measurement is provided and it is predicted that, given the changing role of ATCOs and profound future airspace requirements and configurations, issues of stress, trust, and boredom will become more significant.
Abstract: Objective: This article provides a critical review of research pertaining to the measurement of human factors (HF) issues in current and future air traffic control (ATC). Background: Growing worldwide air traffic demands call for a radical departure from current ATC systems. Future systems will have a fundamental impact on the roles and responsibilities of ATC officers (ATCOs). Valid and reliable methods of assessing HF issues associated with these changes, such as a potential increase (or decrease) in workload, are of utmost importance for advancing theory and for designing systems, procedures, and training. Method: We outline major aviation changes and how these relate to five key HF issues in ATC. Measures are outlined, compared, and evaluated and are followed by guidelines for assessing these issues in the ATC domain. Recommendations for future research are presented. Results: A review of the literature suggests that situational awareness and workload have been widely researched and assessed using a variety of measures, but researchers have neglected the areas of trust, stress, and boredom. We make recommendations for use of particular measures and the construction of new measures. Conclusion: It is predicted that, given the changing role of ATCOs and profound future airspace requirements and configurations, issues of stress, trust, and boredom will become more significant. Researchers should develop and/or refine existing measures of all five key HF issues to assess their impact on ATCO performance. Furthermore, these issues should be considered in a holistic manner. Application: The current article provides an evaluation of research and measures used in HF research on ATC that will aid research and ATC measurement.
