Development of a Supervisory Control Rating Scale

Abstract

The objective was to develop a supervisory control rating scale to evaluate human interaction and capabilities associated with automation. The product was to be a standardized rating scale analogous to the Cooper-Harper Rating Scale that was developed to assess aircraft handling response. The use intended for the scale developed under the current project is to evaluate supervisory control across situations and human-system interface concepts in a manner that reflects supervisor's workload, situational awareness, and complacency. The report summarizes a review/analysis of related literature and the initial scale development process. Additional studies are required to examine the psychometric properties of the scales including sensitivity, reliability (internal consistency, interrater, test-retest), and construct validity.
