Operator Workload

Objective Examine the extent to which increasing information integration across displays in a simulated submarine command and control room can reduce operator workload, improve operator situation awareness, and improve team performance. Background In control rooms, the volume and number of sources of information are increasing, with the potential to overwhelm operator cognitive capacity. It is proposed that by distributing information to maximize relevance to each operator role (increasing information integration), it is possible to not only reduce operator workload but also improve situation awareness and team performance. Method Sixteen teams of six novice participants were trained to work together to combine data from multiple sensor displays to build a tactical picture of surrounding contacts at sea. The extent that data from one display were available to operators at other displays was manipulated (information integration) between teams. Team performance was assessed as the accuracy of the generated tactical picture. Results Teams built a more accurate tactical picture, and individual team members had better situation awareness and lower workload, when provided with high compared with low information integration. Conclusion A human-centered design approach to integrating information in command and control settings can result in lower workload, and enhanced situation awareness and team performance. Application The design of modern command and control rooms, in which operators must fuse increasing volumes of complex data from displays, may benefit from higher information integration based on a human-centered design philosophy, and a fundamental understanding of the cognitive work that is carried out by operators.

Established Technique

In order to evaluate situation awareness (SA) in a Navy shipboard command and control environment, a model-based framework is being developed based on the foundation of an established technique. An executable cognitive model is used to generate interruption points and probe questions by executing in realtime in parallel with the evaluated individual. The model identifies when critical events occur (or could occur) and also determines what information is critical to identifying these situations and making required decisions. The model instigates interruptions of performance in the simulation environment and presents appropriate probe questions. An empirical exercise was undertaken in order to provide data on the design of this SA assessment instrument for the target command and control application. Subject matter experts (SMEs) were employed to identify critical events and information in simulation scenarios and those specifications were used to provide guidance for the development of the model-based SA assessment technique.
