▼ This dissertation takes an exploratory look at the role of human factors (HF) metrics within an electronics manufacturing organization by focussing on three objectives: 1) determining company stakeholder views of HF metrics, metrics development and HF application, 2) developing a workstation level HF assessment tool for light assembly work, and 3) creating a tool that reports the level of HF integration and maturity in an organization. Mixed methods were used in an action research framework. Research at the case organization was predominantly qualitative and included field notes, audio recordings, and company documents. Identified gaps between engineering and HF metrics were due to HF metrics focussed more on health and safety measures and activities being completed, gaps in the understanding of HF contributions, and the need for new HF tools to generate reporting measures. Five identified themes affecting HF metrics development included 1) knowledge of engineer processes and of HF principles, 2) connection of metrics to the organization, 3) support of the organization and of the information to the organization, 4) resource availability and limitations, and 5) communication format of metrics information. Collaborative user-centered development of a workstation efficiency evaluator tool helped determine data of interest and effective communication of output variables for users. Design stage inputs create outputs that include HF and system information. The tool performed well in a comparison to an observation-based analysis and also demonstrated tolerance to input errors on workstation outcomes. The developed Human Factors Integration Tool assesses HF maturity across organizational functions. Face and content validity of the tool were tested in field testing and workshops. Participants communicated a need for the tool and its contents. Industry stakeholders found the consensus-based tool helped to establish the status of HF in the organization, plan projects to further develop HF capabilities, and initiate discussions on HF for performance and well-being. The created tools demonstrated approaches to the development of future HF tools. These dissertation findings illustrate the need for more HF metric work, including developing HF measures that contribute to organization metrics, and that the development of HF measures and processes need HF considerations in their development.

▼ As gesture-based interactions with computer interfaces become more technologically feasible for educational and training systems, it is important to consider what interactions are best for the learner. Computer interactions should not interfere with learning nor increase the mental effort of completing the lesson. The purpose of the current set of studies was to determine whether natural gesture-based interactions, or instruction of those gestures, help the learner in a computer lesson by increasing learning and reducing mental effort. First, two studies were conducted to determine what gestures were considered natural by participants. Then, those gestures were implemented in an experiment to compare type of gesture and type of gesture instruction on learning conceptual information from a computer lesson. The goal of these studies was to determine the instructional efficiency – that is, the extent of learning taking into account the amount of mental effort – of implementing gesture-based interactions in a conceptual computer lesson. To test whether the type of gesture interaction affects conceptual learning in a computer lesson, the gesture-based interactions were either naturally- or arbitrarily-mapped to the learning material on the fundamentals of optics. The optics lesson presented conceptual information about reflection and refraction, and participants used the gesture-based interactions during the lesson to manipulate on-screen lenses and mirrors in a beam of light. The beam of light refracted/reflected at the angle corresponding with type of lens/mirror. The natural gesture-based interactions were those that mimicked the physical movement used to manipulate the lenses and mirrors in the optics lesson, while the arbitrary gestures were those that did not match the movement of the lens or mirror being manipulated. The natural gestures implemented in the computer lesson were determined from Study 1, in which participants performed gestures they considered natural for a set of actions, and rated in Study 2 as most closely resembling the physical interaction they represent. The arbitrary gestures were rated by participants as most arbitrary for each computer action in Study 2. To test whether the effect of novel gesture-based interactions depends on how they are taught, the way the gestures were instructed was varied in the main experiment by using either video- or text-based tutorials. Results of the experiment support that natural gesture-based interactions were better for learning than arbitrary gestures, and instruction of the gestures largely did not affect learning and amount of mental effort felt during the task. To further investigate the factors affecting instructional efficiency in using gesture-based interactions for a computer lesson, individual differences of the learner were taken into account. Results indicated that the instructional efficiency of the gestures and their instruction depended on an individual's spatial ability, such that arbitrary gesture interactions taught with a… Advisors/Committee Members: Sims, Valerie.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The current project involved investigation into the understanding of airmanship among Australian aviators and the way in which airmanship is trained in Australia. The starting point was Kern’s model of airmanship (1996, 2009a), developed from research with aviators in the USA. The current research revealed two insufficiencies in the Kern model. First that it includes few of the non-technical skills that become important as an aviation career progresses, and secondly it emphasises knowledge over application. The Ebbage and Spencer (2003) model of airmanship, developed in the UK, includes non-technical skills more overtly and some additional concepts not included in the Kern model. Both Kern and Ebbage and Spencer recommend that training of airmanship should include three phases: 1) instil the importance of airmanship; 2) overtly teach and model airmanship; and 3) assess and provide feedback. In the current project, an initial on-line survey reached mainly general aviation pilots. The participants mentioned many of the concepts included in the existing models but also some additional concepts. A second survey reached more participants and enabled comparison of differences in views between military and civilian background aviators. It also established the relative importance placed by the participants on the component concepts of airmanship. A third study involved the interviewing of a cross-section of flight instructors and trainers from civilian and military sectors, at ab-initio and advanced levels of training. It appears that the training of airmanship generally meets the final two phases of the suggested training process, but there seemed to be a lack of formal introduction to airmanship and no use of a structure to facilitate development of airmanship. A model of airmanship was developed and its structure tested empirically. A revised model is presented, which provides a more balanced approach to the importance of the component concepts than earlier models and also recognises the influence of context on the development and expression of airmanship. The use of the revised model to expressly embed airmanship in training programs may alleviate the paradox of the use of the term ‘airmanship’ both as a global expression of safe and efficient flight and also to describe only the non-technical skills component, in some training environments.

▼ Distractions and interruptions are common occurrences in an operating room (OR), but little is known about their effects on surgical task performance. Based on human factors research, it was hypothesized that realistic distractions and interruptions in an OR would adversely impact surgical task performance. Because of the concern of patient safety in an OR, research on distractions and disruptions needed to be conducted in a laboratory. Consequently, this research applied an advanced virtual reality simulator for a laparoscopic surgical procedure. The experimental design consisted of a two factor within-subjects test. The primary factor was the absence or presence of distractions and interruptions with the order being randomly counterbalanced. Four distractions and two interruptions were timed to occur during critical stages of the simulated surgical procedure. The secondary factor was the experience level of the surgeons. Eighteen surgical residents volunteered to participate in this study which yielded two experience levels of 2nd year and 3rd year residents. The results supported the hypothesis since major surgical errors were committed in 44% of the simulated surgical procedures when distracted and interrupted versus only 6% when not distracted or interrupted. This difference was significant with a p-value = 0.020. No effect was shown for surgical errors with respect to the different experience levels, possibly because of the limited separation in experience. For another type of error, 56% of the participants forgot to perform a prospective memory task when distracted and interrupted, while just 22% forgot in the non-distracted conditions. This difference was significant with a p value = 0.035. Although no significant effects were indicated for total task times due to distractions and interruptions, there was a significant time difference for a subtask that coincided with an interruption and distraction. Finally, no effect was shown with pre-specified measures of performer fatigue and personal distractibility traits. However, a significant dependency was observed with respect to time of day outcomes which may have been related to fatigue. Findings from this research are applicable in the training of surgeons to become more resistant to the effects of distractions and interruptions, thereby improving patient safety.

▼ Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation, however, is still a complex task. This research aims to discover automation opportunities for the design of products that replace error prone human-centric tasks. Process models are used during conceptual design to capture how customers will use products. These process models combined with functional modeling provide a starting point for the systematic exploration of automation opportunities. Failure analysis based on process models is used to identify customer-product interaction points offering opportunities for automation. Impact factors qualitatively and quantitatively predict the impact of an automated solution as it relates to an identified failure mode. The integration of functional and process models creates a framework to support modeling of manual processes. This framework is used for the discovery and conceptualization of products to fulfill identified automation opportunities and consists of the following four stages. (1) Identify and understand the needs of the customer. (2) Translate customer needs into engineering specifications. (3) Identify automation opportunities from the manual actions of the customer. (4) Synthesize solutions to the identified automation opportunities. This framework defines the underlying structure for a family of methodologies to automate existing manual products. One methodology, supported by the framework, is presented in this dissertation for identifying automation opportunities based on error prone human-centric tasks. Designing an automated solution for identified opportunities has the potential to improve task completion efficiency, provide safer product operation, provide improved convenience and improve quality control with the final outcome of a task. Applications of this research include automated systems for military or defense applications, assistive technologies that improve quality of life, therapeutic devices for clinical applications, design of sustainable products, design of consumer-focused products and smart home technologies.

▼ Operators have a crucial role in case of an emergency in a process facility. When an abnormality occurs in the process, the operator has a limited time to take corrective actions before system safety devices shut down the operation. It is crucial that system designers and safety professionals know about this required time frame before operations are initiated. Specific research goals for this project include the following: * Estimating the standard time data for operators to take corrective actions in emergency situations. * Developing a modeling system, to allow design/process engineers to find the standard time required for the operator(s) to respond in emergency situations. Current standard time data for carrying out tasks cover normal, steady state cases. However, the time required to take action in emergency situations is different than normal cases. Because of the possibility of a process incident and danger, operators make corrective actions faster compared to normal cases. Therefore, current standard time data do not meet the requirement for emergency situations. Shorter standard time data for emergency situations needs to be estimated. Standard time data for emergency situations is estimated by using time studies. Various time study methods were introduced and discussed. MODAPTS is a predetermined time standard method and stands for Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards, and was used in this project because it is reliable, easy to use and consistent. The methodology adopted for the study required observing several emergency case videos. The operations were decomposed into basic motions (such as walking, hand movement, bend and arise, etc.) by using a video player?s frame by frame feature. The amount of time required to take these basic motions was estimated. These estimated times were then compared to calculations based on MODAPTS, which is a predetermined time standard system. By comparing MODAPTS?s standard time intervals with those estimated from emergency situations, ratios or coefficients have been estimated for the various basic motions (e.g., factors such as 0.9, 0.75, etc.). The estimated coefficients for emergency situations, which are generally around 0.65, were used in developing a modeling system. The user of this modeling system can estimate the required time to take corrective actions in emergency situations as long as he/ she knows the actions need to be taken. Consequently, the time required to take necessary actions in emergency operations will be designed and evaluated in a systematic way to reduce the potential, as well as duration, of an incident.

▼ The Royal Bahraini Air Force (RBAF) has recently experienced a series of maintenance-related incidents which have prompted investigation into the factors that contributed to them. The primary aim of this research project was to understand the nature of maintenance errors in the RBAF, with a view to developing an improved tool for identifying and managing these errors.We analysed and triangulated several sources of data in order to better understand the nature of the occurring errors and their associated factors. The Maintenance Error Decision Aid (MEDA) questionnaire was administered to RBAF technicians, and Quality Assurance (QA) reports were collected and analysed in a manner consistent with the MEDA framework. Technicians were also interviewed to identify their perceptions of the factors contributing to errors, and their insight into how the current reporting system could be improved. The type of error most commonly reported in this research was “aircraft/equipment errors, and “organisational factors” was nominated as the most common contributing factor. Both of these were reported in lower frequencies by technicians than by QA investigators. QA investigators’ experience probably helped in correctly identifying and classifying the various categories of error and contributing factors, while technicians may have treated some errors as negligible (and thus failed to report them), or may have lacked the experience or expertise to classify the errors as specifically. The technicians’ responses highlighted the importance of: proactively detecting errors; communication and the use of procedures; and pre-planning of tasks (in order to reduce maintenance errors). Based on the findings of our research project, we have developed a tool (The Tool for Error Reduction and Management (TERM)) which can be used as part of the accident reporting and investigation process; to assist in understanding systematic patterns within a large set of events; and to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement within the maintenance organisation.There is no doubt that implementing the proposed tool in military aviation maintenance poses significant challenges, but from the RBAF organisational perspective, there are numerous benefits that will be gained by implementing it, most notably the reduction and improved management of maintenance errors.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the ACCESS Framework which is an open source software framework designed to address four issues with regards to older and novice users with accessibility needs – that they often do not know what support is available within their systems, that they often do not know how to change those settings they know exist, that they often lack the confidence to make the changes they know how to make, and are often unable to physically enable accessibility support.The software discussed in this dissertation serves as a bridge between what users are expected to know and what they actually know by assuming the responsibility for identifying user accessibility requirements and making those changes on the user?s behalf. User interaction with the framework is limited to either expressing approval or disapproval with regards to corrective action. Individual corrections are deployed as plug-ins within this tool.Four studies were conducted during this research. Three of these studies were aimed at evaluating the ACCESS Framework directly with the remaining study being an exploration of a cognitive support tool deployed using the framework. Two of these studies involved participants attempting to perform specific, well-defined tasks on systems that had been configured to the extremes of what was possible with operating system settings. These tasks were attempted with and without the support of the framework. The final study was a focus group in which issues of the framework were discussed by individuals who had been through the experimental trials.The research provided strong evidence that this is an effective mechanism for accessibility configuration when there is a strong match between identified accessibility needs and available operating system support. The system was seen as understandable, useful and appropriate by individuals who had been through the experimental trials. The research provided strong evidence that this is an effective mechanism for accessibility configuration when there is a strong match between identified accessibility needs and available operating system support. The system was seen as understandable, useful and appropriate by participants, with a majority stating that they would be willing to use a similar system on their own machines.

▼ As automation becomes increasing ubiquitous, it is important to know how differences in introducing automated systems will affect human-automation interactions. There are two main ways of introducing expected reliability of an automated system to users: explicitly telling operators what to expect or giving operators experience using the system. This study systematically investigated the effect of expectation format initially and over time on: 1) perceptions of reliability and system usage, and 2) human responses to automation (e.g., compliance, reliance, and overall dependence). Initially, there was an effect of expected level for explicit statement groups, whereas there was no effect of expected level for initial exposure groups. Over time, explicit statement groups had more stable perceptions of system reliability than the initial exposure groups. In general, perceived reliability did not converge to actual system reliability (75%) by the end of the study. Additionally, perceived reliability had a weak, but positive relationship with actual system use, whereas perceptions of system use (e.g., perceived dependence) had a strong, but negative relationship with actual system use. Outside of initial effects seen with perceived reliability, there were few initial differences between expectation formats. Almost all groups tended to initially comply more than rely, with the exception of the initial exposure – lower-than group. Over time, level of expectation for initial exposure groups influenced reliance. There were no differences between expectation groups on compliance and dependence over time. In general, dependence and compliance increased or stayed the same as time using the system increased. This pattern was also seen with reliance, with the exception of the initial exposure - higher-than group decreasing reliance over time. Results from this study have implications for both theory and practice. The research findings both support and augment the existing conceptual model of automation. A better understanding of the differential effects of expectation format and introduced level of expectations can lead to introductions of automated systems that are best suited to the system’s goals, ultimately improving system performance.

▼ Synchronous distributed groupware is a class of software applications allowing a geographically distributed group of people to collaborate in real time. There are different types of groupware, e.g., collaborative editing software, distributed meeting support tools, and multiplayer games. However, collaborators in groupware can become disconnected from the session. Disconnections can range in duration from a few seconds (e.g., due to a network outage) to hours or days (e.g., stowing a laptop while flying). Disconnection causes information loss and makes it difficult for users to understand both the state of the workspace and the current activities of other people upon reconnection. Thus, it is important to handle disconnection in groupware. However, handling disconnection is difficult for groupware developers. They need to determine varieties of strategies in order to address different disconnection scenarios. These strategies determine how stored information can be manipulated as the system waits for a disconnected user to rejoin, and how information should be replayed upon reconnection. If disconnection lasts for a long time, developers need to select and combine strategies in order to manage a trade-off between performance requirements (e.g., delivering stored information as quickly as possible upon reconnection) and understandability requirements (e.g., allowing users to watch missed information in an understandable manner). Developers might not know how to implement such strategies in a reusable manner. Because of this lack of knowledge in handling disconnection, developers might build disconnection-aware groupware applications that will not address the range of wide variety of user-level requirements that arise from different disconnection scenarios. Moreover, as there are a few disconnection-aware groupware applications, developers might not know the overhead (e.g., additional message transmission time, memory usage and programming complexity) of handling disconnection in synchronous groupware in practice. In order to mitigate developers’ problems to handle disconnection in synchronous groupware, this thesis provides codified solutions that capture and organize a wide range of strategies for handling disconnection, that manage the performance and understandability trade-off through selecting and combining suitable strategies and that show how to implement the strategies in a reusable manner. In order to determine the overhead of handling disconnection, a toolkit is developed following the designed solutions, and different applications are constructed using the toolkit. User studies and performance analyses are conducted that evaluate the toolkit and demonstrate its quality goals, such as offering simple application programming interface (API), high performance, and supporting different disconnection scenarios and timeframes.

▼ As industry sectors mature, a critical challenge confronting many companies is how to provide users with engaging experiences within a product ecosystem (e.g., a subway station ecosystem). User experience goes far beyond cognitive aspects to encompass affective aspects, where the former accommodates users’ cognitive capabilities, tendencies, and limitations while the latter concerns how to elicit desirable emotional responses from users. Both aspects have major impacts on each other and importantly influence user satisfaction. Although companies have long been concerned with users in the product design and development process, the emphasis has been on the cognitive aspects to support users’ cognitive processes through human-product interactions, demonstrated as usability studies in the areas of human factors and human-computer interaction. Further, traditional usability studies often consider interactions between the user and a single object (product), ignoring the kind of user interactions in a context of product ecosystems that consist of multiple interdependent products, users, and ambient factors (e.g., environmental settings and cultural factors). On the other hand, user pleasure has been considered in the new development of human factors and ergonomics; affective human-computer interaction is also gradually being recognized. From a holistic perspective, it is imperative to study user experience design incorporating its two essential dimensions, i.e., the affective dimension and the cognitive dimension, in the context of product ecosystems. This research develops a conceptual model that elaborates the operational mechanism of key factors underlying product ecosystems for user experience design while leveraging both affective and cognitive dimensions of users. In addition, a technical framework is proposed to drive product ecosystem design for user experience with rigorous engineering methods. The technical framework has three consecutive and iterative steps, i.e., affective-cognitive need elicitation, affective-cognitive analysis, and affective-cognitive fulfillment.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to address the fact that users’ input to training systems in virtual environments is not suited to their natural skills and abilities. These skills and abilities include speaking and gesturing with their bodies. This mismatch may have negative effects on their usage of the virtual environment. One assumption guiding this thesis is that it would increase immersion to allow the users to interact with the system in the same way they interact with real people. The second assumption is that multimodal input can increase users’ performance in the training scenario, especially regarding habitual and physical skills. While people use the mouse and keyboard inputs to computers all of the time, the third assumption is that natural speech and gestures would make military virtual training systems even easier to get acquainted with and use. The fourth assumption is that more natural systems may increase the amount of training that trainees can transfer to the real world. To show the potential of the approach of multimodal input, two prototype systems were created. The design and evaluation of the first prototype are described. It was intended to show the potential of gesture recognition and multimodal fusion under both ideal theoretical circumstances and controlled, but more realistic, ones. The primary problem with the first prototype was found to be the limitations with the hand recognition and tracking system. The design of the second prototype is then described. This prototype is a fully-operational virtual checkpoint training system with multimodal input and was created based on the hand tracking and other insights from the first prototype. Then the results of a demonstration at a conference are explained, including environmental factors on its usage. The thesis ends with a discussion of the insights from the last prototype and some future work, including implementation ideas, empirical studies, and general guidelines for multimodal system design.

▼ In the past decade, general aviation aircraft have been the subject of significant changes in cockpit design. The commonly used analog dials present in most aircraft cockpits have since been replaced by highly integrated electronic displays, commonly referred to as glass cockpits. This transition has occurred so rapidly that all new general aviation aircraft are, or will be, equipped with these technologically advanced cockpits. Since most general aviation pilots were trained with older analog displays, it becomes imperative to find out what human factors issues the pilots will encounter when they transition to glass displays. In addition, as most new pilots are trained on glass cockpits, it also becomes imperative to find out what issues the pilots will face when they transition to traditional displays (e.g., in the case of an emergency where the glass displays fail or because future pilots will learn to fly on glass but may subsequently encounter the many older airplanes equipped with traditional cockpits after training). The present experiment addressed these issues by measuring flight performance, situational awareness and workload using both cockpit display types in various training-test conditions. The training phase of the experiment taught participants the basics of flight, followed by three simulated flights using a Cessna 172 aircraft. Upon successful completion of training, participants were given a test flight mission requiring them to find a downed aircraft and its survivors. Flight performance was measured by three different flight technical errors (FTE); workload was assessed using both an in-flight concurrent-duration-production task and a NASA Task Load Index questionnaire; and situational awareness was measured using three Situational Awareness Global Assessment Technique questionnaires. Although there were no significant effects of training display type on test flight performance, the results revealed an overall decrease in performance for participants using the glass cockpit compared to participants using the traditional cockpit. Despite the overall worse performance on the glass cockpit, the post-flight questionnaire analyses revealed a distinct subjective preference for the glass cockpit over the traditional cockpit.

▼ Though now seen everywhere in the hospital and operating theater, there was a time when surgeons used no hand protection. In the late 19th century, however, as the science of bacteriology became more advanced, surgical glove usage spurred. Today, gloves serve an extremely important role, helping to maintain the sterile field and protect hospital staff from the transfer of bloodborne pathogens. Since they are so valuable, it is equally important that gloves fit properly as to not be detrimental to the surgeon. Gloves that are too tight increase fatigue rate and decrease fine finger dexterity. Gloves that are too loose can reduce tactile sensitivity caused by bunching of material at the fingers. Traditionally, the larger of measurement of hand circumference and hand length are used to determine glove size, but most select a size based on comfort of fit. To assist manufacturers with creating certain sizes, anthropometry is often used. Anthropometry is the study of the physical measures of the human body. Human-factors engineering is the science of applying anthropometric information to the design of devices intended for human use. In this study, two anthropometric databases, studies by Greiner and Pheasant, were utilized to obtain hand measurements representative of the general population, due to the population studied. For this study, 59 general surgeons (51 male, 8 female) were invited on separate dates to the Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies Group in North Haven, CT for Voice of Customer laboratories. While there, they completed surveys where they listed their preferred glove size, double gloving sizes, dominant hand, etc. In addition, the following six measurements were taken: hand circumference, maximum grip diameter, Digit 1 (D1) length, Digit 2 (D2) link length, Distance from D2 Metacarpo-phalangeal (MCP) to Distal Interphalangeal (DIP) joint, and D2 distal phalanx length (extrapolated). These measurements were averaged and compared to the numbers reported in the Greiner and Pheasant studies for analysis using a novel Microsoft Excel tool. Commonly used laparoscopic staplers were also measured to assess ergonomic usability amongst the surgeon population. Male surgeons had statistically significantly larger hands than female surgeons with respect to all measurements taken. Compared to men of the general population, male surgeons had significantly smaller grip diameter, D2 link length, yet a greater D1 Length. Compared to women of the general population, female surgeons had a greater hand circumference, yet smaller D2 link length. All other measurements recorded were statistically equivalent. In general, surgeons seem to select a preferred glove size based on their hand circumference (Pearson’s Correlation 0.799, R2 63.9%), followed by D2 Link Length (Pearson’s Correlation 0.631, R2 39.9%). The median glove size for male surgeons was 7.5 (0.50) and 6.0 (0.25) for female surgeons (p > 0.001). To evaluate the ergonomic usability of laparoscopic staplers, the measurement “Distance from D2 MCP to DIP…
