Assessing the structure of non-routine decision processes in Airline Operations Control

Unfamiliar severe disruptions challenge Airline Operations Control professionals most, as their expertise is stretched to its limits. This study has elicited the structure of Airline Operations Control professionals’ decision process during unfamiliar disruptions by mapping three macrocognitive activities on the decision ladder: sensemaking,...

EMPOWER. Deliverable no 3.2 Business model methodology

Based on EMPOWER Deliverable 3.1 and the use of complimenting resources, a Business Model Methodology is outlined in this deliverable in order to support and organize the work effort that should be performed to develop sound business models for the services that should be tested in four Living Lab Cities participating in the project. This...

EMPOWER. Deliverable no 3.1 International review of business models and best practice

Through a literature and case study review ten key success factors to support the design and implementation of incentive-scheme based business models within EMPOWER promoting reduction of CFV use were identified, which will provide input to both other tasks within WP 3 as wells as tasks in other Work Packages.

Innoveren voor zorg thuis - Deel 4 - Zorgmap, van papier naar digitaal

Door vergrijzing stijgt de komende jaren de vraag naar thuiszorg. Daartegenover staat een dalend aanbod in thuiszorgverleners door bezuinigingen. Technologische innovaties zullen dit vraagstuk moeten oplossen. In dit vierde en laatste deel van een vierluik over het project RAAK-mkb Ontwerpen voor zorgverleners een voorbeeld van hoe zo’n...

Terugdringen en afhandelen nodeloze alarmen: oplossingsrichtingen

Een groot deel van de alarmmeldingen die bij brandweer, politie en particuliere beveiligingsbedrijven binnen komt, blijkt loos. Dit leidt tot het onnodig uitrukken van deze (hulp)diensten met alle negatieve gevolgen van dien, zoals kosten, verminderde beschikbaarheid van capaciteit voor echte incidenten, onnodig verminderde verkeersveiligheid,...

Automated safety control by video cameras

At this moment many surveillance systems are installed in public domains to control the safety of people and properties. They are constantly watched by human operators who are easily overloaded. To support the human operators, a surveillance system model is designed that detects suspicious behaviour in a non-public area. Its task is to alert the...

Lessons learned from the development of technological support for PTSD prevention: A review

This review2 describes the state-of-the-arttechnologiesthat support mental resilience training for PTSD prevention. It characterizes four current systems across training approaches; seeks insights via interviews with the systemdevelopers; and extracts from thesea set of essential guidelines for future developers.

Effects of reliance support on team performance by advising and adaptive autonomy

Problems with estimating trust in information sources are common in time constraining and ambiguous situations and often lead to a decrease of team performance. Humans lack the resources to track the integrity of information and thus tend to over- or under-rely on advice from support systems. Two types of adaptive team support have been...

Mixed reality system and objective ergonomics evaluation for designing work stations in manufacturing industry

Due to shorter productlife cycles in manufacturing industry there is a lot of pressure on the process of designing new work systems. Early attention for human factors would lower the costs compared to changes at a later stage. Low cost tools for workstations design could help especially small to medium sized assembly enterprises. However, these...

Integrated design of intelligent surveillance systems and their user interface

Modern complex surveillance systems consisting of multiple and heterogeneous sensors, automatic information registration and data analysis techniques, and decision support tools should provide the human operator an integrated, transparent and easily comprehensible view of the surveyed scene. Displayed visual information should be optimally tuned...

Visual support in target search for a simulated unmanned aerial vehicle

In steering Maritime Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAV's) and controlling its camera movements, the operator's task is complicated by a limited quantity and quality of the available perceptual information. For example, the outside image is presented with low update rate and a narrow field of view due to the limited bandwidth of the data-link...
