Lee, John D. and Raby, Mireille (1994): Network Analysis as a Technique to Guide the Task Analysis of ATIS/CVO. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1018-1022.
Applications of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) include technology ranging from simple sensors and alarms to complex combinations of databases and displays. This range of technology will impose a variety of task demands on drivers, and these demands need to be cataloged. Without a means of focusing the task analysis describing these systems, a complete description of all possible interactions among the potential functions of ATIS/CVO systems would be intractable. To address this problem, we have adopted network analysis techniques from sociological and anthropological studies of social groups as a tool to examine complex systems and to guide a task analysis. Network analysis provides a quantitative analysis of information flows that link system functions that can focus a task analysis on important functions and critical interactions between these functions. This paper describes measures of centrality and clusters and how these measures can guide any complex task analysis in the same way it focused the task analysis of ATIS/CVO systems.

Wheeler, William A., Lee, John D., Raby, Mireille, Kinghorn, Rhonda A., Bittner, Alvah C. and McCallum, Marvin C. (1994): Predicting Driver Behavior Using Advanced Traveler Information Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1057-1061.
As a part of the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS), Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) will offer tomorrow's drivers significantly expanded capabilities for getting where they want to go safely and efficiently. Vehicle-based navigation systems combined with information on highway conditions and services have the potential for improving driver performance. Though ATIS may offer considerable advantages, the system design must be consistent with the primary tasks of controlling and operating the vehicle. This paper describes an attempt to identify the likely interaction between what a driver must do to operate the vehicle safely while at the same time using the various ATIS systems. As such, it is an attempt to visualize what driving with these advanced systems will be like and to translate that vision into standard human factors task analytic techniques. Though a broad range of ATIS systems and functions were addressed in this project, this paper will address the macro-level task analyses that resulted from the examination of 165 tasks related to ATIS use.

In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 792-796.
In an experiment designed to examine the effect of crew composition and automation level on flight performance, fifty pilot-copilot crews flew a simulated instrument flight mission between three Michigan cities. Half of the crews were of homogeneous composition (both low or both high time), while half were heterogeneous consisting of one senior high time member and one junior low time member. Within each group, roughly half flew xxx with automated flight control and the other half flew manually. The flight was disrupted by periodic instrument failures. Results indicated that automation improved flight performance and lowered workload. While there was no overall difference in performance between homogeneous and heterogeneous crews, the latter group appeared to benefit more from the advantages that automation had to offer. The results are discussed in terms of the effect of automation on cockpit authority gradients, the role of flight experience, and of crew communications.

Stokes, Alan F. and Raby, Mireille (1989): Stress and Cognitive Performance in Trainee Pilots. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 883-887.
The study reported here is part of a continuing program of research into pilot decision-making based on an information processing model of human decision-making under task-related stress. This model posits, inter alia, that experts and novices in a knowledge domain adopt different cognitive strategies in solving decision problems, and that these strategies are differentially affected by stress. The present experiment examined the effect of task-related stress upon aviation-relevant cognitive skills in trainee instrument pilots using SPARTANS, an automated test battery. The battery was administered under stress and control conditions, providing data on the effects of the stress manipulation upon putative cognitive components of decision-making independent of the criterion task - simulated flight using the MIDIS microcomputer system. The results provide evidence of stress related decrements in working memory, flexibility of closure, and spatial processes, but not in the retrieval of declarative knowledge. These results are discussed in the light of the model's predictions and previous empirical results using MIDIS.
