TL;DR: Results indicate that the method SALSA is feasible and more suitable than SAGAT to evaluate prospectively future ATM-concepts with regards to their impact on safety, and a new method to measure SA in ATC, called SALSA.

TL;DR: A key long-term trend is towards highly automated vehicles and autonomous driving which requires a considerable amount of functionality, sensors, actuators and control, situation awareness etc., and the integration into a new type of critical infrastructure based on communication between vehicles and vehicles and infrastructure for regional traffic management.
Abstract: A key long-term trend is towards highly automated vehicles and autonomous driving. This has a huge impact, besides comfort and enabling people not able or allowed to drive, on sustainability of environmental-friendly urban road transport because the number of vehicles and parking space could considerably be reduced if called on command and left behind after use for the next call. This requires a considerable amount of functionality, sensors, actuators and control, situation awareness etc., and the integration into a new type of critical infrastructure based on communication between vehicles and vehicles and infrastructure for regional traffic management. Both, safety and security aspects have to be handled in a coordinated manner, affecting co-engineering, co-certification and standardization.

TL;DR: This research reports the dialog around clinical decisions made by team members in the time-pressured and high-risk context of surgery, and the impact of these communications on shared situational awareness.
Abstract: Background Failure to convey time-critical information to team members during surgery diminishes members’ perception of the dynamic information relevant to their task, and compromises shared situational awareness. This research reports the dialog around clinical decisions made by team members in the time-pressured and high-risk context of surgery, and the impact of these communications on shared situational awareness. Methods Fieldwork methods were used to capture the dynamic integration of individual and situational elements in surgery that provided the backdrop for clinical decisions. Nineteen semi structured interviews were performed with 24 participants from anaesthesia, surgery, and nursing in the operating rooms of a large metropolitan hospital in Queensland, Australia. Thematic analysis was used. Results: The domain “coordinating decisions in surgery” was generated from textual data. Within this domain, three themes illustrated the dialog of clinical decisions, i.e., synchronizing and strategizing actions, sharing local knowledge, and planning contingency decisions based on priority. Conclusion Strategies used to convey decisions that enhanced shared situational awareness included the use of “self-talk”, closed-loop communications, and “overhearing” conversations that occurred at the operating table. Behaviours’ that compromised a team’s shared situational awareness included tunnelling and fixating on one aspect of the situation.
