Aircrew-Vehicle System Interaction: An Evaluation of NASA's Program in Human Factors Research

摘要

The review comprises an assessment of NASA's program in the study of human factors in aircraft flight management and evaluates an augmentation to the program proposed by NASA. NASA's goal is to improve the existing knowledge base of factors that tend to introduce human error. The committee concludes that NASA's effort should be concentrated on developing methods and techniques for analyzing man-machine interactions, including human workload and prediction of performance and assessment of their effects on safety and reliability.
