Predicting Controller Capacity in Remote Supervision of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles
(IEEE, 2008)
In the future vision of allowing a single operator to remotely control multiple unmanned vehicles, it is not well understood what cognitive constraints limit how many vehicles and related tasks a single operator can manage. ...
Assessing the Impact of Haptic Peripheral Displays for UAV Operators
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
Objectives: A pilot study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of continuous haptic
peripheral displays in supporting multiple UAV supervisory control. Background: Previous
research shows that continuous ...
Modified Cooper Harper Scales for Assessing Unmanned Vehicle Displays
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
In unmanned vehicle (UV) operations, displays are often the only information link between
operators and vehicles. It is essential these displays present information clearly and efficiently so that
operators can interact ...
A Predictive Model for Human-Unmanned Vehicle Systems : Final Report
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
Advances in automation are making it possible for a single operator to control multiple unmanned
vehicles (UVs). This capability is desirable in order to reduce the operational costs of human-UV systems
(HUVS), extend ...
Design and Evaluation of Path Planning Decision Support for Planetary Surface Exploration
(Journal of Aerospace Computing, 2008)
Human intent is an integral part of real-time path planning and re-planning, thus any decision aiding system must support human-automation interaction. The appropriate balance between humans and automation for this task ...
The Impact of Multi-layered Data-blocks on Controller Performance
(Air Traffic Control Quarterly, 2008)
As a consequence of the push to increase National Airspace System capacity, air traffic control displays will not only have to show the increasing number of aircraft, but also all the associated data such as airspeed and ...
Selecting Metrics to Evaluate Human Supervisory Control Applications
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
The goal of this research is to develop a methodology to select supervisory control metrics. This
methodology is based on cost-benefit analyses and generic metric classes. In the context of this research,
a metric class ...
Past, Present And Future Implications Of Human Supervisory Control In Space Missions
(Acta Astronautica, 2008)
Achieving the United States’ Vision for future Space Exploration will necessitate far greater collaboration between humans and automated technology than previous space initiatives. However, the development of methodologies ...
Developing Lunar Landing Vehicle Display Requirements through Content Analysis of Apollo Lunar Landing Voice Communications
(International Journal of Aviation Psychology, 2008)
The lengthy period since the Apollo landings limits present-day engineers attempting to draw from the experiences of veteran Apollo engineers and astronauts in the design of a new lunar lander. In order to circumvent these ...
The Impact of Heterogeneity on Operator Performance in Future Unmanned Vehicle Systems
(2008)
Recent studies have shown that with appropriate operator decision support
and with sufficient automation, inverting the multiple operators to
single-unmanned vehicle control paradigm is possible. These studies,
however, ...
