Trust-based user-interface design for human-automation systems
We present a method for dynamics-driven, user-interface design for a
human-automation system via sensor selection. We define the user-interface to
be the output of a MIMO LTI system, and formulate the design problem as one of
selecting an output matrix from a given set of candidate output matrices.
Sufficient conditions for situation awareness are captured as additional
constraints on the selection of the output matrix. These constraints depend
upon the level of trust the human has in the automation. We show that the
resulting user-interface design problem is a combinatorial, set-cardinality
minimization problem with set function constraints. We propose tractable
algorithms to compute optimal or sub-optimal solutions with suboptimality
bounds. Our approaches exploit monotonicity and submodularity present in the
design problem, and rely on constraint programming and submodular maximization.
We apply this method to the IEEE 118-bus, to construct correct-by-design
interfaces under various operating scenarios.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, 4 table
