Modelling driver decision-making at railway level crossings using the abstraction decomposition space Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2021-01-04 Guy Walker, Leonardo Moraes Naves Mendes, Michael Lenne, Kristie Young, Nicholas Stevens, Gemma Read, Vanessa Beanland, Ashleigh Filtness, Neville Stanton, Paul Salmon
The objective of this paper is to cast users of railway level crossings as flexible and adaptive decision-makers, and to apply a cognitive systems engineering approach to discover new behaviour-based insights for improving safety. Collisions between trains and road vehicles at railway level crossings/grade crossings remain a global issue. It is still far from apparent why drivers undertake some of

Investigating collision risk factors perceived by navigation officers in a close-quarters situation using a ship bridge simulator Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2021-01-03 Do-Hoon Kim
Ship collisions caused by navigation officer error significantly threaten the safety of marine navigation. An increased fear of collision for navigation officers in a close-quarters situation (CQS) may lead to failure to perform the prescribed collision-avoidance measures. This study measured the perceived collision risk (PCR) for 30 coast guard navigation officers according to their heart-rate variability

Experimental research on the effectiveness of navigation prompt messages based on a driving simulator: a case study Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2021-01-03 Liping Yang, Yang Bian, Xiaohua Zhao, Jianming Ma, Yiping Wu, Xin Chang, Xiaoming Liu
In China, F-type-5 m intersections are not uncommon. One approach of these intersections usually includes a driveway closely followed by an intersecting street, and the driveway and the intersecting street are parallel and approximately 5 m apart. Nowadays, drivers often rely on the navigation systems for directions. However, it is found that the navigation systems sometimes mislead or confuse drivers

Appropriate operation inducement by biasing perception of velocity using tactile stimulation Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2021-01-03 Motoki Tachiiri, Yoshihiro Tanaka, Akihito Sano
Traffic congestion and accidents are more likely to occur on gently undulating roads called sags, because drivers are less likely to recognize a change in velocity. Therefore, to induce appropriate judgement and operation, we have proposed to bias the perception of velocity by tactile stimulation. Our previous study showed that the frequency of vibrotactile stimulation based on an engine is related

Do drivers change their manual car-following behaviour after automated car-following? Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2020-12-21 Tyron Louw, Rafael Goncalves, Guilhermina Torrao, Vishnu Radhakrishnan, Wei Lyu, Pablo Puente Guillen, Natasha Merat
There is evidence that drivers’ behaviour adapts after using different advanced driving assistance systems. For instance, drivers’ headway during car-following reduces after using adaptive cruise control. However, little is known about whether, and how, drivers’ behaviour will change if they experience automated car-following, and how this is affected by engagement in non-driving-related tasks (NDRT)

Motivational assistance system design for industrial production: from motivation theories to design strategies Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2020-07-20 Janik Dostert, Romy Müller
Industrial production is still widely sustained by human operators. However, the design of human–machine interaction often does not foster the motivation to learn more about their machine or system. This may decrease operators’ ability to flexibly adjust their decision making and problem-solving skills to the current production context. Motivation to learn could be attained by a motivating socio-technical

Design for assembly meaning: a framework for designers to design products that support operator cognition during the assembly process Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2019-08-14 Davy D. Parmentier, Bram B. Van Acker, Jan Detand, Jelle Saldien
Designing assembly instructions is mostly considered to be a non-designer task. Hence, in many companies, it is performed by production planners or instructional designers. However, analysing product components and looking for clues on how these components can be fitted together into a subassembly or final product is a fundamental part of assembly. Product designers play an important role in the way

A human reliability assessment of marine auxiliary machinery maintenance operations under ship PMS and maintenance 4.0 concepts Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2019-08-13 C. Kandemir, M. Celik
Maintenance is one of the core technical aspects on board ships, which is required for the ready availability, reliability, and efficiency of machinery equipment. As machinery systems are critical for merchant ships, inadequate maintenance operations lead to serious consequences, including total loss of the vessel. The most commonly used maintenance approach on board a ship is a planned maintenance

Interventions to support the management of work-related stress (WRS) and wellbeing/mental health issues for commercial pilots Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2019-08-02 Joan Cahill, Paul Cullen, Keith Gaynor
Research indicates that sources of work-related stress (WRS) impact on the physical, social, and psychological health of pilots. Furthermore, specific features of the job can increase a pilot’s risk in relation to developing a mental health (MH) issue. It is impossible to remove all stress from the work life of pilots. A high stress situation may not necessarily be detrimental to the person, once they

The influences of product similarity on consumer preferences: a study based on eye-tracking analysis Cognit. Tech. Work (IF 1.206) Pub Date : 2019-08-01 Chunyao Ye, Yan Xiong, Yan Li, Longfan Liu, Mei Wang
Product similarity plays an important role in affecting consumer preferences. Although the existing literature discusses consumer preferences or product similarity, there are only a few studies investigating their relationship. The current study explored the influences of product similarity on consumer preferences including the underlying cognitive processes by analyzing eye movement data as well as
