Gaze analysis and psychophysiological parameters

This study demonstrates the value of gaze analysis with simultaneous physiological data recording for the assessment of the human-computer interface in air traffic control.

The literature on visual scanning was reviewed. Two studies using different eye-tracking systems, one head mounted (I VIEW) and one remote (ASL 504) were conducted at EEC. In each study, a TRACON II simulator was used to present controllers with a representative ATC task and a set of relevant electrophysiological measures (EEG, HRV etc..) was employed.This study shows that selected eye-view and physiological parameters may be used together to evaluate strain, fatigue, operational strategies of controllers in highly interactive situations.Further studies should investigate the effect of changes in the nature and extent of automation of the ATC task, such electronic stripping, flat displays etc.
