Situation awareness during the live operation of remote vehicles

该项目旨在与远程控制真实车辆的参与者一起实时调查态势感知(SA)(与当前大部分工作使用的模拟方法形成对比)。此外，由于远程操作可能成为操作员经过培训并高度实践的一项技能活动，因此迫切需要了解远程SA可能会随着专业知识的增加而发生变化的方式。该项目还将寻求解决这一问题。这些问题与对SA的心理理解有关，有助于考察远程情景心理模型的发展和更新过程，以及澄清支持这些过程所需和所需的信息类型。这项研究还将在现实世界中具有明确的工程应用，为远程控制操作的界面设计提供信息，这将对自动驾驶汽车成功引入我们的道路至关重要。

The project aims to investigate situation awareness (SA) in real-time with participants who are remotely controlling real vehicles (in contrast to the simulation approaches used by much of the current work). In addition, because remote operation is likely to become a skilled activity in which operators are trained and become highly practiced, there is a pressing need to understand the ways in which remote SA might change with increasing expertise. The project will also seek to address this issue. These questions have relevance for the psychological understanding of SA, in examining the processes whereby mental models of remote situations are developed and updated, and in clarifying the types of information that are both necessary for and desirable in supporting these processes. The research will also have clear real-world engineering applications, in informing the design of the interfaces for remote control operations that will be crucial to the successful introduction of autonomous vehicles to our roads.
