Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of the proposed research is to develop a principled HCI design approach for use in complex, safety critical environments. Specifically, these principles will be used to resolve common cognitive failures in the execution of flightdeck tasks and will, therefore contribute to lower rates of pilot error. In order to achieve this, existing work on Task Knowledge Structures (TKS) will be extended for application in safety critical interface design. This extension will involve the identification of task structures common to multiple safety critical environments, including but not limited to the coordination and verification of instructions, error recovery and the updating of system state knowledge. Empirical test will be used to identify and examine both failures and solutions.
