Abstract

A workshop was conducted in which the specific purpose was to build on earlier work by the National Research Council, Federal Government agencies, and the larger human factors community to: (1) clarify human factors issues pertaining to degraded performance in advanced transportation systems due to human work underload and workload transition; and (2) develop strategies for resolving these issues. The workshop affirmed that: (1) work underload and workload transition are issues that will have to be addressed by designers of human-automation operating configurations, if cost, performance, safety, and user acceptability are to be optimized, (2) human function allocation models, standards, and guidelines which go beyond simple capability approaches will be needed to preclude or seriously diminish the work underload and workload transition problems, and (3) the issues identified during the workshop, need resolution if these models, standards, and guidelines are to be achieved.
