Information engineering for supporting situation awareness of nautical traffic management operators

The main challenge of operators working with complex information systems is to gain sufficient situation awareness (SA). In this research project, we developed an analysis scheme to support a holistic study of SA. This analysis scheme was complemented with a method to process cognitive task analysis and observational research data to identify...

Information engineering for developing and testing coherent, integrated and context-dependent user interfaces

There has been an increase in the amount and complexity of traffic on Dutch inland waterways. Traffic management shifted from local traffic control to corridor traffic management. Due to these changes, operators in nautical traffic management centers experience difficulty to gain and maintain sufficient situation awareness. In our previous...

A situation awareness analysis scheme to identify deficiencies of complex man-machine interactions

This paper presents an analysis scheme which aims to support a<br/>systematic study of required situation awareness (RSA). This scheme supports<br/>identification of deficiencies of support for situation awareness (SA).<br/>Information needs are goal and task dependent and can be defined using<br/>existing cognitive task analysis (CTA) methods....

A systematic approach to adressing the influence of man-machine interaction on situation awareness

This paper presents a systematic approach towards the study of required situation awareness (RSA) in traffic management context. Current theories are not suitable to clearly define the RSA in complex man-machine interaction (MMI) contexts. Deficiencies of man-machine interaction are difficult to recognize and resolve. This paper analyzes: (i)...
