Fern, Lisa, Kenny, Caitlin A., Shively, Robert J. and Johnson, Walter (2012): UAS Integration into the NAS: An Examination of Baseline Compliance in the Current Airspace System. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2012 Annual Meeting 2012. pp. 41-45.

“As a result of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are expected to be integrated into the National Airspace System (NAS) by 2015. Several human factors challenges need to be addressed before UAS can safely and routinely fly in the NAS with manned aircraft. Perhaps the most significant challenge is for the UAS to be non-disruptive to the air traffic management system. Another human factors challenge is how to provide UAS pilots with intuitive traffic information in order to support situation awareness (SA) of their airspace environment as well as a see-and-avoid capability comparable to manned aircraft so that a UAS pilot could safely maneuver the aircraft to maintain separation and collision avoidance if necessary. A simulation experiment was conducted to examine baseline compliance of UAS operations in the current airspace system. Researchers also examined the effects of introducing a Cockpit Situation Display (CSD) into a UAS Ground Control Station (GCS) on UAS pilot performance, workload and situation awareness while flying in a positively controlled sector. Pilots were tasked with conducting a highway patrol police mission with a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAS in L.A. Center airspace with two mission objectives: 1) to reroute the UAS when issued new instructions from their commander, and 2) to communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC) to negotiate flight plan changes and respond to vectoring and altitude change instructions. Objective aircraft separation data, workload ratings, SA data, and subjective ratings regarding UAS operations in the NAS were collected. Results indicate that UAS pilots were able to comply appropriately with ATC instructions. In addition, the introduction of the CSD improved pilot SA and reduced workload associated with UAS and ATC interactions.”

Linde, Charlotte and Shively, Robert J. (1988): Field Study of Communication and Workload in Police Helicopters: Implications for AI Cockpit Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 237-241.

“This paper reports on the work performed by civilian helicopter crews, using audio and video recordings and a variety of workload measures (heart rate and subjective ratings) obtained in a field study of public service helicopter missions. The number and frequency of communications provided a significant source of workload. This is relevant to the design of automated cockpit systems, since many designs presuppose the use of voice I/O systems. Fluency of communications (including pauses, hesitation markers, repetitions, and false starts) furnished an early indication of the effects of fatigue. Three workload measures were correlated to identify high workload segments of flight, and to suggest alternate task allocations between crew members.”

Shively, Robert J. (1988): A Computer-Based Safety Assessment for Flight Evacuation: SAFE. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 885-888.

“Recently, the U.S. emergency medical services (EMS) industry has received a great deal of negative publicity concerning its safety record. It has been noted that the EMS industry has an accident rate that is five times that of the rest of the helicopter industry (Harvey and Jensen, 1987; Harvey, 1986). While it is true that during 1987 and early 1988 the safety record has improved, the industry cannot become complacent. The National Transportation and Safety Board recently conducted a study of the EMS industry and returned specific recommendations for the FAA and NASA. One of the critical factors in EMS missions is the pilot's decision to accept or reject a mission. This can often be influenced by such factors as the urgency of the care required. This, along with other factors, may prompt a pilot to accept a mission of unacceptable risk. The present paper presents a computer-based decision aid, based upon earlier work by the Army and Coast Guard, to assist the pilot in objective assessment of the probable risk of an EMS mission. Data for validation of this technique will be collected at an EMS operator and from the EMS Safety Reporting Service.”

Casper, Patricia A., Shively, Robert J. and Hart, Sandra G. (1987): Decision Support for Workload Assessment: Introducing WC FIELDE. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 72-76.

“Currently there is a great demand for mental workload evaluation in the course of system design and modification. In light of this demand, a microprocessor-based decision support system has been created called WC FIELDE: Workload Consultant for FIELD Evaluation. The system helps the user select workload measures appropriate to his or her application from the large pool of currently available techniques. Both novices and those with some workload experience may benefit from using WC FIELDE, since the system's operation is entirely transparent and all rules involved in the decision process are available for the user to examine. WC FIELDE recommends several assessment methodologies in decreasing order of appropriateness, and provides additional information on each measure at the end of the program in the form of text files.”
