Specifications for an advanced human centered supervisory system

摘要

Supervision of highly automated processes is a privileged area of research at the cross of many disciplines. In fact, knowledge's in the fields of automation, "work post" ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics, working psychology and sociology seemnecessary because supervision is an activity in which the Human-Being, despite the increasing automation of the last years, is still present. Our research concerns monitoring tasks and diagnosis tasks in continuous processes. In this paper we proposedspecifications for an advanced human centered supervisory system (AHCSS) integrating representation characteristics of the production system, such as functional, structural and behavioral aspects, with the use of advanced algorithms of detection andlocation. These are human centered and take into account new concepts of design. These specifications were used to design an AHCSS for a nuclear fuel reprocessing system that was evaluated through experiments with experienced operators. The obtainedresults are encouraging.
