Situation awareness during the live operation of remote vehicles

该项目的目的是调查实时态势感知（SA）与参与者谁是远程控制真实的车辆（相比，目前的大部分工作所使用的模拟方法）。此外，由于远程操作很可能成为一项熟练的活动，操作员在其中接受培训并变得高度熟练，因此迫切需要了解远程SA可能随着专业知识的增加而发生变化的方式。该项目还将设法解决这一问题。这些问题具有相关性的心理理解SA，在检查的过程中，远程情况下的心理模型的开发和更新，并在澄清的类型的信息，这是必要的和理想的支持这些过程。该研究还将具有明确的现实工程应用，为远程控制操作的界面设计提供信息，这对于成功将自动驾驶汽车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.
