Research on the Human Factors of Common Operational Picture

Abstract

In order to resolve the problem that makes the user being lost in a large amount of data, this paper refines the mothed of COP and suggests a scenario based on human factors. We first analyse the status and role of the user in the process of producing a COP, and advance the main links which human factors influence in the production chain., then we argue on the necessary capabilities and specific functions of COP based on hunam factors refer to data orgnizaton, data acquisition, data processing mechanism and data visualization, at last we suggest a specific production flow of COP based on human factors. Empirical results prove that the COP based on human factors makes the traditional COP more concise and clear, and maintains the attribute of “common”. The production method of COP based on human factors is a refinement of the traditional one, and in the specific systematical application, it needs more research on the requirements of users to make this method more reliable and common.
