Abstract

Drilling accidents often occur due to inadequate situational awareness of drilling workers. The prolonged and tedious monitoring of drilling parameters may result in drilling workers experiencing mind-wandering. To explore this problem, this study employed wearable eye tracking technology to assess the mind-wandering status of drilling workers during work finishing (WF) and investigate the influence of mind-wandering on the situational awareness of these workers. A simulation of monitoring drilling parameters was conducted in the laboratory by 18 drillers, who were asked to fill out situational awareness questionnaires using the global assessment of situational awareness (SAGAT) and had their behavioral and eye movement data collected during the task. The eye movement results revealed that drilling workers experienced mind-wandering during the WF, as evidenced by a significant increase in fixation duration and count, along with a decrease in pupil diameter. This led to a decrease in situational awareness scores and a notable increase in reaction times, indicating that mind-wandering had an impact on the situational awareness of drilling workers. In addition, the eye movement areas of interest (AOIs) were further analyzed to explore drilling worker attention allocation. This study showcases the potential of using wearable eye-tracking technology to identify mind-wandering in drilling workers who are responsible for monitoring drilling parameters. By gaining a deeper insight into the eye movement patterns associated with mind-wandering in drilling workers, we can establish a strong basis for creating interventions that enhance their situational awareness.

利用可穿戴眼动追踪技术评估走神对司钻态势感知的影响

钻井事故的发生往往是由于钻井工人的态势意识不足造成的。长时间、繁琐的钻井参数监测可能导致钻井工人走神。为了探讨这一问题，本研究采用可穿戴式眼动追踪技术评估钻井工人在完成作业时的走神状态，并探讨走神对钻井工人情境感知的影响。18名钻井人员在实验室进行了模拟钻井参数监测，他们被要求使用全球态势感知评估（SAGAT）填写态势感知问卷，并在任务期间收集他们的行为和眼动数据。眼动结果显示，钻井工人在WF期间经历了走神，这可以从注视时间和注视次数的显著增加以及瞳孔直径的减小中得到证明。这导致了态势感知得分的下降和反应时间的显著增加，表明走神对钻井工人的态势感知有影响。此外，进一步分析眼动兴趣区（AOIs），探讨钻井工人的注意力分配。这项研究展示了使用可穿戴眼球追踪技术来识别负责监测钻井参数的钻井工人的走神的潜力。通过深入了解与钻井工人走神相关的眼球运动模式，我们可以建立一个强有力的基础来创造干预措施，提高他们的态势感知能力。

期刊介绍： The purpose of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries is to facilitate discovery, integration, and application of scientific knowledge about human aspects of manufacturing, and to provide a forum for worldwide dissemination of such knowledge for its application and benefit to manufacturing industries. The journal covers a broad spectrum of ergonomics and human factors issues with a focus on the design, operation and management of contemporary manufacturing systems, both in the shop floor and office environments, in the quest for manufacturing agility, i.e. enhancement and integration of human skills with hardware performance for improved market competitiveness, management of change, product and process quality, and human-system reliability. The inter- and cross-disciplinary nature of the journal allows for a wide scope of issues relevant to manufacturing system design and engineering, human resource management, social, organizational, safety, and health issues. Examples of specific subject areas of interest include: implementation of advanced manufacturing technology, human aspects of computer-aided design and engineering, work design, compensation and appraisal, selection training and education, labor-management relations, agile manufacturing and virtual companies, human factors in total quality management, prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomics of workplace, equipment and tool design, ergonomics programs, guides and standards for industry, automation safety and robot systems, human skills development and knowledge enhancing technologies, reliability, and safety and worker health issues.
