This study compared situation awareness across three flight deck decision aiding modes. Pilots resolved air traffic conflicts using a click and drag software tool. In the automated aiding condition, pilots executed all resolutions generated by the automation. In the interactive condition, automation suggested a maneuver, but pilots had the choice of accepting or modifying the provided resolutio...

The purpose of this paper is to propose foundations for a theory of situation awareness based on the analysis of interactions between agents (i.e. both human and non-human) in subsystems. This approach may help to promote a better understanding of technology-mediated interaction in systems, as well as helping in the formulation of hypotheses and predictions concerning distributed situation awar...

BACKGROUND Nontechnical skills have an impact on health care outcomes and improve patient safety. Situation awareness is core with the view that an understanding of the environment will influence decision-making and performance. This paper reviews and describes indirect and direct measures of situation awareness applicable for emergency settings. METHODS Electronic databases and search engine...

Objective: To provide a principled, theoretical basis to improve interface tools for helping users recover from task interruptions and get back up to speed in dynamic operational tasks. Background: Multi-tasking and interruptions that disrupt situation awareness are common to many dynamic operational tasks, from monitoring airspaces and plant operations to conducting tactical missions, civil em...

Shared 3D environments are investigated as a means of providing information for supporting awareness and the feeling of co-presence in distance work. The aim of this work-in-progress is to develop work environments for distance work that help reduce social isolation and stress and increase work efficiency when working at a distance. Both social and ergonomic demands of the work situation will b...

In crisis management involvement of a large number of organizations is required. Not only the first responders need to take action, but also organizations and entities like civil authorities, public utility and crisis teams are responsible for critical infrastructures as well as the community. A key element for effective collaboration is situation awareness; having a common operational picture....
