- This paper reports on flight operations research, conducted as part ofthe work requirements for the Flight Operations Strand of the HumanIntegration into the Lifecycle of Aviation Systems (HILAS) project.Specifically, it presents a provisional framework for a suite of integrated FlightOperations tools developed in this research. It is anticipated that these tools willbe used by different airline personnel to gather integrate, analyze andcommunicate data in relation to risk/safety management and processimprovement. Further these tools will provide customized task support fordifferent management and operational personnel.

- Technical systems of different kinds might differ in the mental demands they put on their users while being equally usable in a more conventional sense. Several methods exist that measure mental workload. However, in the everyday practice of usability evaluations, none of these methods seems to be used. This is probably due to the amount of effort needed to use them. The study of our errors in estimation of durations show that errors increase as a function of the amount of attentional resources being needed for other concurrent tasks. This points towards a simple way of estimating mental workload. By asking people to provide estimates of elapsed time after a task, disruptions in their estimates could indicate the mental workload of the task. We conducted a first study aimed at validating this idea with the NASA TLX method. Results show that errors in time estimates correlate significantly with TLX scores.

The Role of Human Factors in Design and Implementation of Electronic Public Information Systems
- 2007

- Design of Electronic Public Information Systems (e-PIS) can benefit from the inclusion of guidelines that consider the needs of users. Inclusion of guidelines and prototyping practices that take into consideration the capabilities of human users make it possible to avoid errors that would otherwise significantly reduce efficiencies offered by Informationtechnology (IT). Design strategies that include consideration of the Human Factor (HF) within e-PIS are introduced and discussed. Argued is that without integration of design strategies that consider human capabilities the efficiencies brought about through the use of electronic technology are significantly reduced. Through the study of intended user behaviours during the development of systems loss of efficiency is avoided.
