Alarm initiated activities: Matching formats to tasks
No full textThis paper addresses the selection of visual alarm formats for different 'alarm initiated activities'. The activities under examination were alarm handling tasks. Seven such tasks have been identified, namely: observe, accept, analyse, investigate, correct, monitor and reset. One of the most important stages is the initial analysis of the alarm information as this determines the subsequent manner in which the information is processed. It was hypothesised that the format in which the information is presented will determine the success of the alarm handling task, hence the proposal to match formats to tasks. The findings suggest that text-based formats are best suited to tasks requiring time-based reasoning, mimic formats are best suited to tasks requiring spatial location and annunciator formats are best suited to tasks requiring recognition of spatial patterns. The importance of considering both reaction time and accuracy of response in consideration of task match was also noted. In summary, it is suggested that care needs to be taken to determine the appropriateness of the medium for any given task and the demands it places on the human operator

Behavioural compensation by drivers of a simulator when using a vision enhancement system
No full textTechnological progress is suggesting dramatic changes to the tasks of the driver, with the general aim of making driving environment safer. Before any of these technologies are implemented, empirical research is required to establish if these devices do, in fact, bring about the anticipated improvements. Initially, at least, simulated driving environments offer a means of conducting this research. The study reported here concentrates on the application of a vision enhancement (VE) system within the risk homeostasis paradigm. It was anticipated, in line with risk homeostasis theory, that drivers would compensate for the reduction in risk by increasing speed. The results support the hypothesis although, after a simulated failure of the VE system, drivers did reduce their speed due to reduced confidence in the reliability of the system
Homotopy theory of looped polyhedral products
No full textThis thesis studies the pointed loop space of spaces known as polyhedral products and gives loop space decompositions in various cases as a product of well-studied spaces. It is a research paper thesis which contains the following papers:[1] L. Stanton, Loop space decompositions of moment-angle complexes associated to flagcomplexes, Q. J. Math. 75 (2024), no. 2, 457–477,[2] L. Stanton, Loop space decompositions of moment-angle complexes associated to twodimensional simplicial complexes, (2024), to appear in Proceedings of theEdinburgh Mathematical Society, https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10781,[3] L. Stanton and S. Theriault., Polyhedral products associated to pseudomanifolds, Int.Math. Res. Not. 2025 (2025), rnaf164.In [1], we show that the loop space of a moment-angle complex associated to the -skeleton of a flag complex decomposes as a product of spheres and loops on spheres up to homotopy.In [2], we show that the loop space of a moment-angle complex associated to a -dimensional simplicial complex decomposes as a product of spheres, loops on spheres and well-studied torsion spaces up to homotopy.In [3], we study the homotopy theory of polyhedral products associated to a combinatorial generalisation of manifolds known as a pseudomanifold. We use this to show that the loop space of a moment-angle manifold associated to a connected, orientable surface, or a triangulation of decomposes as a product of spheres and loops on spheres up to homotopy
Is utility in the mind of the beholder? A review of ergonomics methods
No full textThis paper reviews the use of ergonomics methods in the context of usability of consumer products. A review of the literature indicated that there is upward of 60 methods available to the ergonomist. The results of the survey indicated that questionnaires, interviews and observation are the most frequently reported methods used. Ease of use of the methods was dependent upon type of method used, presence of software support and type of training received. Strong links were found between questionnaires and interviews as a combined approach, as well as with HTA and observation. However, a questionnaire survey of professional ergonomists found that none of the respondents had any documented evidence of the reliability and validity of the methods they were using. A study of training people to use ergonomics' methods indicated the different requirements of the approaches, in terms of training time, application time and subjective preferences. An important goal for future research is to establish the reliability and validity of ergonomics methods

Driving automation: Learning from aviation about design philosophies
No full textFull vehicle automation is predicted to be on British roads by 2030 (Walker et al., 2001). However, experience in aviation gives us some cause for concern for the 'drive-by-wire' car (Stanton and Marsden, 1996). Two different philosophies have emerged in aviation for dealing with the human factor: hard vs. soft automation, depending on whether the computer or the pilot has ultimate authority (Hughes and Dornheim, 1995). This paper speculates whether hard or soft automation provides the best solution for road vehicles, and considers an alternative design philosophy in vehicles of the future based on coordination and cooperation
