A Survey of Existing Computer Programs for Aircrew Workload Assessment.

Abstract

Due to increased concerns of crew workload in tactical nap-of-the-earth environments, increased importance has been placed on the need to utilize a computer simulation to serve as a predictor, or estimator, of crew loading. The US Army Human Engineering Laboratory conducted a survey of existing computer programs which can be used for workload assessment. Each program was assessed in terms of input requirements, processing procedures, outputs available, as well as any other pertinent information. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made as to how the Army should approach the problem of obtaining a suitable computer program. (Author)
