“…The complexity of the operational interface SA could be enhanced if the engineers who design the operator interface would acknowledge that people have a limited capacity for memory and attention, and this capacity is diminished further by stress, noise, and vibrations. The interface should not be overly complex, and it should highlight only important data that would not overload the operator (Endsley and Jones, 2011:31;Papadimitriou et al, 2020) Earcons/icons SA increases if appropriate earcons (auditory cues) and icons are integrated into the operator's interface (Kaber et al, 2006) Displays with additional information SA is increased when there is a display that shows the positions and the predicted movements of objects near the RCV (Wiegand et al, 2019). SA also is supported if "chat with SA-relevant information" is added to the visual teleoperation interface (Robb et al, 2018) Active vehicle approach A car system's initiation of communication with the operator was found to increase SA when the driver was inactive for long periods (Lee et al, 2019).…”

This study reviews the current information concerning the measurement of the situation awareness (SA) of the teleoperated drivers of remotely controlled cars. The teleoperated drivers who drive these cars are in a remote location, and they control the cars through a communication interface. The objective methods with probes are beneficial in measuring SA on a closed circuit without real traffic. Questions specifically should address the information provided on the road by haptic sensations, such as the slope of the road and the vehicle's speed. Methods for measuring SA that involve probes and interruptions obviously are not suitable for use on public roads. A stable environment for the display and control of the communication interface is suitable for an eye tracker in measuring SA. These features also facilitate the use of subjective observer-rating methods. Both of these methods are suitable for driving on real roads because they are not intrusive. SA research in a real-road environment also should demonstrate how the SA of other drivers is affected by seeing a car without a driver. Given the remote character of driving, cultural differences in cognition may have a significant influence on the SA of the teleoperated driver.

“…Situational awareness is a complex construct where the majority of measured cognitive functions are involved, applied and demonstrated. Researchers should acknowledge that SA is influenced by the driver's working memory capacity [76], divided attention capacity [77], spatial perceptual ability, fatigue [52], emotional state [78], level of understanding of the car's driving system [79], monotonous task [80], conversation [81,82], hearing cell phone notifications [83], parallel driving of more vehicles in the virtual environment [84], complexity of the driving interface [85], integration of ear cons to the virtual environment [86] and availability of vestibular or somatosensory feedback [87]. Additionally, situation awareness might increase after seeing a hazardous event [88].…”

HMD-Based VR Tool for Traffic Psychological Examination: Conceptualization and Design Proposition

et al. 2021

In the present theoretical paper, the current body of knowledge regarding the use of wearable virtual reality (VR) technologies for traffic psychological examination (TPE) is introduced, critically discussed and a specific application is suggested. The combination of wearable head-mounted displays for VR with an interactive and cost-effective haptic driving interface is emphasized as a valid and viable platform for a driving skills psychological assessment, which is in several aspects superior to standard TPE as well as driving simulators. For this purpose, existing psychological examination methods and psychological phenomena relevant in the process of driving are discussed together with VR technology’s properties and options. Special focus is dedicated to situation awareness as a crucial, but currently hardly measurable construct, where VR in combination with embedded eye-tracking (ET) technology represents a promising solution. Furthermore, the suitability and possibilities of these VR tools for valid traffic psychological examination are analyzed and discussed. Additionally, potentially desirable measures for driving assessment based on recent advances of VR are outlined and practical applications are suggested. The aim of this article is to bring together recent advances in TPE, VR and ET; revise previous relevant studies in the field; and to propose concept of the cost effective, mobile and expandable HMD-based driving simulator, which can be suitable for an ecologically valid driving assessment and follow-up TPE in common practice.

Analysis of External Factors Influences on Aviation Events Caused by the Human Factor

In manuscript considered human factor in traffic control. It was showed, that we cannot highlight one factor, which most influence to traffic controller or pilot. We need to consider a group of factors. We performed analysis of the influence of human factor in aviation shows that the latter should comprise several external factors, namely: intensity of traffic, weather conditions and magnetic storms, which are related with solar activity and unpredictability of magnetic storms caused by arising sunspots, as well as with putting into operation the new models of airplanes, to avionics of which pilots are forced to adapt for a definite period and acquire their own experience in operation with this model of aircraft.
