Abstract
The role of human in automatic system changed from operator to supervisor, which would lead to the automation conundrum. In this study, we put forward the theory named ‘Dynamic Situation Awareness Circle (DSAC)’ to describe an operator who has great situation awareness (SA). Human machine cooperation principle was used in this study to promote DSAC circulation. We designed an experiment with the background of automatic high-speed train to verify the correctness of above theory. So we optimized the interface based on DSAC. We make a hypothesis that the operator could invest a lot cognitive resource initiatively to promote the circulation of DSAC. So the operator will keep better cognitive state at automation environment and maintain better SA. Results revealed that volunteers had better performance and SA under SA enhancement interface, which shown the validity of DSAC. This research could provide theoretical direction for human-machine interface design in automatic system.
