Research on the application of 3D visualization and virtual reality (VR) in discrete-event simulation (DES) has received increased attention in the past two decades. The increasing popularity of the 3D display in DES is mainly due to superior display capabilities and the associated benefits that it offers. However, the 2D display also continues to enjoy active use to date, thus provoking some fierce debates questioning the need for the 3D and VR if the 2D interface suffices. Several studies comparing the effectiveness of the different visualization methods also produce different conclusions. This paper undertakes a meta-analysis of the different positions and synthesizes the findings from 162 studies on the impacts of the 2D display versus 3D/VR on user performance on various DES tasks. The results highlight four key findings. First, the perception that the 2D display is more effective for model development is misleading as 3D/VR offers overall better performance and quality of models. Second, 3D/VR enables more effective performance than 2D display for model verification and validation. Third, 3D/VR decreases the time taken for verification, validation, experimentation, and analysis of results, but can increase model development time. Finally, the latent variables such as the application domains and nature of the problems tackled have no direct or indirect influence on the efficacy of the 3D display/VR versus 2D on DES task performance.

“…As previously mentioned, HF is widely perceived as uncertain, which increases the complexity of logistics processes and operations (Nilsson, 2006). This is more evident in all the activities that are directly affected by human behaviours, such as decision-making or organisational and social activities (Bruzzone et al, 2007). The few literature contributions that have investigated the topic of HF in logistics often focused on a single specific aspect (i.e., operators' safety) in internal and external logistics.…”

The spread of the Industry 4.0 paradigm introduced an increasing number of technological innovations into companies to improve logistics processes. During a transition to Logistics 4.0, it is necessary to consider all the issues that affect logistics, among which human factors (HF) are considered to be the most important. On the basis of the existing scientific literature, this article aimed to identify the relationships between 4.0 technologies implementation and HF concerning the evolution of human activities towards different hypothetical future scenarios (i.e., no changes, work replaced, or work assisted), analysing in detail the HF affected by 4.0 technologies. These relationships, which were summarised in a matrix, were also tested through a single longitudinal case study. The research showed that technology tends to replace logistics operators, not only for dangerous physical tasks but also for cognitive tasks that are stressful and repetitive. Moreover, for some tasks in which many different HF are involved, the evolution is towards operator assistance, rather than replacement.

“…For example, an increase of the watch by two hours from four to six hours would not distinguish how much this adds to the exhaustiveness of the staff and eventually to a chance of committing a safety-related error. At large, the inclusion of human factors (Bruzzone, 2007, andWetteland, 2000) like performance shaping factors of crew staff (Kozine, 2007), some cognitive modelling, the influence of assigning a task to a crew member with a lower qualification, team work effect, and a richer set of task interactions would provide a better picture to be able to man the ship safer. Some degree of geographical awareness would also be desirable, in order for instance to properly implement the navigation through time zones, as well as some spatial awareness to better simulate the effect of the movement of crewmembers on the ship.…”

“…To support making decisions based on this principle, a tool is needed that can provide an objective foundation and documentation to assess whether a ship is safely staffed. More information on the need of such a tool and optimising ship staffing is given in Bruzzone et al (2007), Wetteland et al (2000), and in Tyson (2006).…”
