This study compared pilot situation awareness across three traffic management concepts. The Concepts varied in terms of the allocation of traffic avoidance responsibility between the pilot on the flight deck, the air traffic controllers, and a conflict resolution automation system. In Concept 1, the flight deck was equipped with conflict resolution tools that enable them to fully handle the res...

Given the importance of Situation Awareness (SA) in military operations, there is a critical need for a realtime, unobtrusive tool that objectively and reliably measures warfighters’ SA in both training and operations. Just as the requirement for improved access to SA measures has become vital, it is now commonplace for military team communications to be mediated by technology, hence easily cap...

Situation awareness (SA) is the perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status in the near future (Endsley M. 1988). A critical aspect of the situation awareness (SA) problem is that agents must construct an overall view of a dynamically changing world using limited sensor channels. For inst...

Samenvatting Gebaseerd op “Web-technologie” is een nieuw gebruikersinterface-paradigma ontwikkeld: de “Network User Interface” (NUI). Dit paradigma biedt nieuwe mogelijkheden voor de interactie met diensten voor informatie en commercie, maar brengt ook nieuwe problemen met zich mee zoals desoriëntatie en moeizame navigatie. De veronderstelling is dat een deel van deze problemen veroorzaakt word...

for examining situation awareness requirements that incorporates both individual and team situation awareness perspectives. In the present study, inquires were conducted in the field maintenance setting at a major airline. Contextual inquires were combined with a goal directed task analysis to specify the situation awareness requirements involved in each of the interactions (between and within ...

In this paper we present an ontology for situation awareness. One of our goals is to support the claim that this ontology is a reasonable candidate for representing various scenarios of situation awareness. Towards this aim we provide an explanation of the meaning of this ontology, show its expressiveness and demonstrate its extensibility. We also compare the expressiveness of this ontology wit...

John Boyd noticed in the 1960’s the importance of Situation Awareness for military operations and introduced the notion of the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act) [1]. There are many applications that have to deal with Situation Awareness: CRM, HCM, SCM, patient care, power grid management, and cloud services management; the list seems to be endless. Situation awareness requires applic...

A full-scope simulation study with licensed nuclear power plant operators was conducted to evaluate whether displays designed using Ecological Interface Design (EID) could support improved Situation Awareness over traditional displays. EID demonstrated performance advantages over traditional displays in beyond-design basis scenarios where operators were unable to rely on procedures. The same ef...

Situation-awareness is the ability of applications to adapt to the current situation of their users. For situation-awareness to be truly pervasive it should support the individual needs of every user, everywhere. We present a middleware for pervasive situation-awareness based on the idea of separating the features of a situation from the specification of how it should be recognised. The feature...

Research was conducted at a major airline to investigate factors related to situation awareness in aviation maintenance teams. Situation awareness has been found to be critical to performance and error prevention in many environments. Its role in the maintenance domain for the performance of both individuals and teams is discussed. Situation awareness requirements for aviation maintenance were ...
