Abstract

Human performance and human decision making is counted upon as a crucial aspect of overall system resilience. Advanced control systems have the potential to provide operators and asset owners a wide range of data, deployed at different levels that can be used to support operator situation awareness. However, the sheer amount of data available can make it challenging for operators to assimilate information and respond appropriately. This paper reviews some of the challenges and issues associated with providing operators with actionable state awareness through data fusion and argues for the over arching importance of integrating human factors as part of intelligent control systems design and implementation. Human factors methods are proposed as a means by which to improve system performance, resilience, and safety.
