Abstract

This paper deals with a theoretical framework describing human operator's participation in manned vehicle systems. Herewith, the human operator is described in terms commensurate with those used for other system elements, which is desirable because of the complex interaction between human functioning and his task environment (e.g. cockpit i.nformation). The result is an integrated model of the man-machine situation serving as a diagnostic tool (for existing systems) and allowing the extrapolation to new situations. The theoretical framework deals with manned vehicle systems involving the human operator performing continuous control and/or decision making tasks. In the paper it will be illustrated how the effect of cockpit information (e.g., type quality and interference of displayed information, both visual and auditory) on human functioning and mission succes can be operationalized and straightforwardly investigated. Paper presented at the AGARD ASMP-specialists meeting at Athens, 20-21 Sept. I976.
