TECHNIQUES FOR EVALUATING OPERATOR LOADING IN MAN-MACHINE SYSTEMS. FURTHER TEST AND EVALUATION OF A MAN-MACHINE SIMULATION MODEL,
Abstract
The predictions by a stochastic digital simulation model of the ability of two selected teams (a fast team and a slow team) to perform a simulated man-machine task are compared with the actual performance of the teams on the task. Reasonable agreement was found between the predictions of the model and actual criterion data in four comparative areas: (1) success proportion, (2) total time used, (3) time used to intermediate subtasks, and (4) effects of simulated machine failure on performance. It is concluded that by extrapolation from the results of this work and previous work, the model may be employed, within its limits, for simulating teams for whom appropriate input data are acquired.
