A Directory of Human Performance Models for System Design (Defence Research Group Panel 8 on the Defence Applications of Human and Bio-Medical Sciences)

Abstract

This report catalogues over fifty human performance models and model development tools which are applicable to system design. It provides potential model users with brief reviews of each model, presented in a standard format. It is meant to be a practical source book, and does not address mathematical or theoretical issues to any great extent. Each chapter is aimed at a specific problem area in the system design/development cycle. Chapter topics include Task Allocation and Workload Prediction, Single Task Models, Multi-Task Models, Multi-Operator Models, Biomechanics and Work Space Design, Training and Skill Retention Models, and Network Modeling Tools.
