An Annotated Bibliography of Objective Pilot Performance Measures

FINAL REPORT - February-September 1981Author William F. Moroney taught at NPS in Operations Research and Naval Aviation Safety. Author Ted R. Mixon was a student in Operations Research.[Robert] Buckout's review in 1962 was the last comprehensive examination of the pilot performance measurement PPM literature. This annotated bibliography attempts to 1 gather the PPM literature written subsequent to 1962 into one source 2 describe the scenarios and measures used in collecting PPM data and 3 summarize the major premises and findings of each article. A variety of sources including computer aided literature search were used to identify candidate articles. Ultimately all referenced material was divided into three categories 1 objective pilot performance measurement 2 subjective pilot performance measures and 3 general analysis and review articles. The objective performance measure category was arranged as follows Field Conditions, Simulator Conditions, Laboratory Conditions, and Combination of Field Conditions, Simulator andor Laboratory Conditions. For each of the objective measure articles reviewed, the following parameters were reported subjects, equipment, scenario, measures and summary. For the subjective measures and general analysis and review articles the authors abstract was generally duplicated. In addition to the 189 articles addressing objective performance measurement, 30 articles dealing with subjective measures and 143 related analyses and review articles are contained in the bibliography.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited

HUMAN FACTORS IN MARITIME TRANSPORTATION AND MENTAL WORKLOAD ANALYSES FOR SEAFARERS IN BRIDGE SIMULATION

Since the United States Coast Guard (USCG) reported in 1993 that human factors had essentially caused approximately 80% of maritime accidents and near misses, there has been an overwhelming understanding that human factors play a significant role in a considerable number of incidents or catastrophes by triggering chain events. The work has initially documented a literature review underlining human factors in maritime accidents, mental workload study and functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) technique to imply how it can be studied for human factors in maritime transportation. It investigates how different risk factors generate an impact on different types of human-related maritime transportation accidents using a data-driven approach, and how mental workload influences neurophysiological activation and decision- making of seafarers by conducting an experimental study in bridge simulation. The results of the developed models formalise the causal interdependencies between the risk factors with human factors perspectives and highlight the implications through scenario analyses. On the other hand, the findings of the fNIRS experimental study revealed the role of the prefrontal cortex and functional connectivity in watchkeeping and collision avoidance during maritime operations. It is concluded that the understanding of risk factors contributing to human errors will help reduce the risk level or eliminate the potential hazards of ships, and provide the clue for accident investigation and generate insights for accident prevention. Also, the experimental study supports fNIRS as a valuable neuroimaging technique in realistic situations. It examines the mental workload and functional connectivity of seafarers, which helps generate insights for human performance and seafarers’ training. Finally, the inclusion of a broader range of human factors and experimental methods shows promise by associating neurophysiological experiment in the maritime section

Visually Guided Control of Movement

The papers given at an intensive, three-week workshop on visually guided control of movement are presented. The participants were researchers from academia, industry, and government, with backgrounds in visual perception, control theory, and rotorcraft operations. The papers included invited lectures and preliminary reports of research initiated during the workshop. Three major topics are addressed: extraction of environmental structure from motion; perception and control of self motion; and spatial orientation. Each topic is considered from both theoretical and applied perspectives. Implications for control and display are suggested
