Abstract
A system that supports operators should not only have high technological performance but should also be user-friendly and give good accessibility to information. To better support the operator, it is necessary to analyse the functional elements during the system design process in order to understand the functions themselves. We believe that distributed cognition is an effective approach for understanding the interactions between agents in a system that involves collaborative work, such as air traffic control. This research aims to apply a method based on distributed cognition for analysing the activity that takes place in an Air Traffic Control work area. Distributed cognition analysis makes explicit the dependencies between human factors and artefacts by examining the transformation and propagation of information through various forms of representations. I’ll introduce a framework of knowledge management for Air Traffic Controllers, and describe the development of a prototype system to support analysis of this knowledge management.
About the Speaker
Dr. Satoru Inoue is a researcher at the Electronic Navigation Research Institute (ENRI) in Japan. He is currently a visiting researcher at CTS, Imperial College London. Dr. Inoue has a PhD from the University of Tokyo on the study of human modelling in Air Traffic Control by using a real time simulator which was a collaborative program with ENRI. His research mainly focuses on systems design, human-computer interaction and human factors in ATC/ATM fields.
Next CTS Seminar
Prof. Nick Tyler (CTS, University College London) will be leading a seminar titled “Accessibility & Wellbeing in an International Context” at UCL on Wednesday 12 December @ 16:00.
About the CTS Seminar Series
The CTS seminar series aims to facilitate discussion on current research topics in the transport field. Seminars are held jointly with our colleagues in the Centre for Transport Studies at University College London. They are usually held on Wednesday afternoons at Imperial College London or University College London.
Seminars are free of charge and open to all interested parties. Booking is not required.
