Falls are the most common cause of non-fatal injuries, and trips are responsible for high percentages of those falls in the United States. Traditional method for estimating trunk kinematics during overground trips uses optical marker-based motion capture systems. However, their cost and space requirements can often be barriers in this research field. Inexpensive and portable inertial measurement units may be an appropriate alternative. This study compared trunk flexion angle and angular velocity at touchdown of the initial recovery step after laboratory-induced trips while walking captured by the optical markerbased motion capture system versus IMUs. Our results provide evidence that a sternum-worn IMU can provide trunk kinematic measurements of clinical relevance and may be used to provide meaningful data to understand kinematic responses to trips or trip-induced falls that occur in real life.

Understanding the factors influencing trust in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) may help inform training and education to support appropriate use. We surveyed 369 drivers with experience using both adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping assist (LKA). The survey included questions to assess trust in ADAS, along with objective knowledge about ADAS limitations, self-reported understanding of ADAS, familiarity with technology, propensity to trust technology, and demographics. Regression results showed that self-reported understanding, but not objective knowledge, predicted trust in ADAS. Self-reported understanding was not correlated with objective knowledge; overall, participants were not aware of many of the system limitations included in the survey. Propensity to trust technology was also a significant predictor of trust. Training/educational materials could be designed to inform drivers of potential gaps in their understanding and adjust expectations of ADAS to support appropriate trust for those with a high propensity to trust technology.

The current study sought to extend upon the findings of DeLucia et al. (2018), who observed a vigilance decrement when observers were asked to detect the presence of an elementary perceptual feature. A second, harder condition was introduced that asked participants to search for the absence of an elementary perceptual feature. Results indicated that correct detections and response time were worse in the feature-absence condition than in the feature-presence condition, and both conditions elicited progressively slower response times as the task progressed (i.e., a vigilance decrement). Eye-tracking data suggested that searching for feature-presence was more efficient than searching for feature-absence. These results echo those of DeLucia et al., indicating that elementary feature detection is not automatic and cannot protect fully against the vigilance decrement. Our results also suggest that display designs that task users with detecting elementary features can augment overall, average vigilance performance.

Intelligence analysts pore over myriad sources to identify key facts, make sense of them, and use that “sensemaking” to inform mission-critical action. Often these operations are conducted 24/7 with analysts working in shifts. To understand these processes in situ, we conducted interviews with seven former and current United States intelligence analysts. We develop theory and advance a descriptive model of shift handover processes in this domain, which takes into account sensemaking, the communication process, and the features of big data. Our qualitative analysis reveals the following tensions analysts face in shift handovers (1) narrowing versus broadening one’s own sensemaking, (2) sensemaking versus encoding for the subsequent analyst, and (3) trusting versus validating the prior analyst’s sensemaking. In addition, we describe several practical takeaways.

Voluntary Safety Reporting Programs (VSRPs) create an opportunity for actively identifying potential safety issues within aviation operations. However, manually reading and analyzing these reports can be labor-intensive and heavily relies on subject-matter experts. The full potential of VSRP data is difficult to achieve due to limited resources available to extract meaningful human factors (HF) data from reports. New machine learning (ML) techniques involving natural language processing (NLP) offer opportunities to label factors of interest within safety reports more efficiently and effectively. A novel ML model was developed to identify HF issues within aviation safety reports. The AVIAN-S model was trained on over 50,000 rows of manually classified VSRPs. The model uses ML and NLP to automate the process of labeling aviation safety reporting data and coding reporter narratives according to an established HF taxonomy. Preliminary results and implications for using the AVIAN-S model for analyzing aviation safety event reports are described.

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an important skill in the modern workforce, and due to its interactive nature, is challenging to assess. The present study builds on work in team sciences to provide initial validation for a metric that quantifies CPS influence—the extent to which each individual contributes toward the team’s CPS processes—using average mutual information (AMI). The measure is investigated in teams collaborating in a computer programming task, where one teammate was assigned to a controller role (i.e., the only person who engaged with the task interface directly). Results suggest the controller had more influence over the team’s CPS processes than the other participants in the triad, providing initial validation for the influence metric. Future work will investigate the measure in classrooms and multiple modalities, and extend the metric in real-time to understand how influence fluctuates over the course of collaboration.

Driver mental workload may represent a mismatch between task demands and available mental resources. If driving mental workload arises from a mismatch involving executive functions, then drivers with more executive function ability should perceive less mental workload in driving situations. To test this hypothesis, 33 participants rated the mental workload associated with 16 driving scenarios and also carried out three cognitive assessment games designed to measure executive functions (response inhibition, working memory updating, switching/shifting). We found a significant relationship between two of the executive function abilities (response inhibition, and switching/shifting, but not working memory updating) and mental workload ratings. With an increase in the age of participants, we observed lower response inhibition and higher perceived mental workload after viewing representations of driving scenarios. These results demonstrate that previous results showing higher perceived mental workload for older drivers may be, at least partly, due to decreases in executive function ability as people age.

While a vehicle operator falling asleep at the controls is the most obvious symptom of fatigue in transportation operations, less extreme and apparent fatigue levels are reliably associated with performance impairments in, for example, attention, information processing, memory, and situation awareness. Compared to in other industries, fatigue in transportation is made more likely by challenges to the body's circadian rhythm caused by shiftwork and travel across time zones. While experiencing fatigue is a normal physiological and behavioral state, for drivers, pilots, mariners, and other vehicle operators, experiencing fatigue while operating a vehicle can have catastrophic consequences. Fatigue can also contribute to heightened, though less-direct, risk for those who support transport operations, such as shift schedulers, supervisors, and managers. This discussion panel will explore high risk and important human factors challenges to fatigue management facing transportation workers and their industries today, and some practical, and proven, ways to manage them.

Trust in automation is a multidimensional process in predicting the proper use of automated systems. Trust can be generalized across components in multi-component systems, leading to contagion effects. However, no research has considered how blame attributions influence the size of contagion effects. We conducted an experiment to address how attributions of blame and responsibility influenced the magnitude of contagion effects for trust. Participants were presented with a hypothetical scenario depicting an airplane environment consisting of six human and six automation components. Participants rated their trust in each component before and after an oxygen mask failure. The findings indicate that the percentage of blame attributed to a component predicted the degree to that trust decreased following an error. Thus, more research should focus on how users assign blame across systems.

Office ergonomics deals with the equipment and environment that office workers interact to perform their job duties. With constant advances in tools, technology, organizations, and society as a whole, the consequent advantages and impacts on office ergonomics warrant constant examination. In this panel discussion, five researchers will share their recent efforts. The panel starts with two studies on components of office works: the impact of ultrawide computer displays and the utility of sit/stand desks. While these components can be used in both traditional and home office environment, the latter three studies focus on the emergence of work from home (WFH), or hybrid work styles. The determinants of successful WFH ergonomics settings, the physical and mental well-being as well as the productivity among workers in the new workstyle, and an example of organizational intervention for a successful change are presented. The panelists will engage the attendees to explore the future of office ergonomics landscape.
