Human Performance-Based Measurement System
Abstract
Fatigue, stress, cognitive overload, and other factors cause errors as human operators perform task operations. The goal of this project was to develop, implement, and test a comprehensive system for measuring and analyzing human performance related data. Applications include basic psychophysiological research, evaluation of computer interfaces, evaluation of other task processes, and real time performance monitoring. The developed system combines measurement and analysis of psychological, physiological, and performance measures into a single system. The combination and correlation of these three factors provides for a more robust and accurate assessment of total human performance. The development effort built off a strong foundation of prior research and development efforts for networked data collection, physiological monitoring, eye tracking, operator workload modeling, and advanced human computer interfaces. The developed software system allows for synchronized collection of data from any number of networked devices and provides an array of signal analysis and display tools to support total performance assessment. The Phase 2 effort developed and implemented the human performance based measurement system and validated operation through a series of performance assessment experiments. The resulting system offers a comprehensive tool set for a wide range of human performance studies and related applications.
