Assessment of impact of degree of automation on human roles: The expert' analysis using gaming

Abstract:

This paper describes the results of the two assessments performed to evaluate the impact of increasing levels of automation (LoA) on Human Factors aspects and the impact on their responsibilities and interactions. This activity has been developed within the "Assessment of Degree of Automation on Human Roles" (ADAHR) project inside the framework of SESAR Work Package E, which is addressing long-term and innovate research (http://www.adahr.eu). These assessments have been carried out in two environments, "Airspace Organization and Management" and "Airport Operations Centre", using experts' performance in role-based games in two steps: A preparative "Paper Based" gaming session followed by a complementary "Hardware Based" gaming session on a hardware platform. The results of these two exercises have been gathered from the participation of experts in the different games. They will be presented by environment and taking into account the roles involved in each environment. Aspects such as trust in the system, situational awareness (SA), confidence and performance were addressed.
