This study was aimed to use Shannon’s entropy – PROMEHTEE hybrid model for weighing and prioritizing noise control solutions in an oil refinery. At first, the sound pressure levels were measured based on the recommended standard of ISO 9612. Next, criteria and noise control strategies were determined using the Delphi technique. In the third stage, the weights of the criteria were computed using Shannon’s entropy method and in the last stage, the solutions were prioritized by the PROMEHTEE method. Based on the results of Shannon’s entropy method, criteria in the order of priority included executive cost (0.2710), noise reduction efficiency (0.2531), feasibility (0.2435), safety (0.1120), possible interference with other processes (0.1107) and up-to-datedness of the methods (0.091). Also, based on the results of the PROMEHTEE method, the best solutions were construction of acoustic enclosures for people exposed to noise with a weight of 0.5476, and Modification or change of the work process with a weight of −0.6905, respectively. Therefore, the Shannon’s entropy – PROMEHTEE hybrid method can be used as a credible scientific tool to select the most appropriate noise control solution in the industries.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"517 - 530"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45658987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many quantitative studies have addressed the effects of music on drivers, but there has been a conspicuous dearth of qualitative research to provide a more nuanced understanding of music-related phenomena. Data collection took place over three simulated driving studies, each with different tasks/participants (Study 1 – n = 34, Study 2 – n = 46, and Study 3 – n = 27). The inductive content analysis was conducted by two members of the research team and a peer debriefing was conducted by a third. Findings show that music can have a range of affective, behavioural and cognitive effects (both positive and negative), that are moderated by the driving environment (i.e. urban vs. highway) and aspects of the musical stimulus (i.e. inclusion/non-inclusion of lyrics, loudness and tempo). Participants were mindful of the implications of in-vehicle music vis-à-vis the safety–performance–pleasure trade-off. The analysis suggested a perceived beneficial effect of music and consequent contribution to driving style/safety-related performance. Younger drivers’ apparent reliance on music as a means by which to regulate their emotion highlights an education need in terms of optimising selections.

NASA-TLX assesses mental workload across six load dimensions. When the dimensions are not assumed to be approximately equally important, they are weighted by conducting a pairwise comparison for every dimension pair, followed by the normalisation of weights reflecting the importance of the dimensions. This original NASA-TLX weighting method creates some challenges that are difficult to identify when the weights are being assigned. First, the original NASA-TLX weighting does not allow directly expressing two or more dimensions as equally important. Second, if pairwise comparisons are conducted consistently, there exists only one possible importance order for the dimensions. Third, with consistently conducted pairwise comparisons, a weight of 0.33 is artificially forced on the most important dimension. Swing and Analytic Hierarchy Process weighting methods for eliciting the weights of the dimensions are proposed as a solution to these challenges. The advantages of applying these methods in NASA-TLX are introduced theoretically and demonstrated empirically using data from virtual air combat simulations. The objective of this paper is to help scholars and practitioners to use NASA-TLX in mental workload assessments such that the discussed weighting issues are avoided.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"725 - 748"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45243188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to modify MRT model and computational DT framework to explore two task-related concepts—resource demand and resource conflict—in the context of gait and to illustrate the initial validity of the modified model. A literature search was conducted to identify DT walking-related elements related to the MRT model. An instructional guide for utilizing the computational framework was constructed using a modified e-Delphi method. Inter-rater reliability of the constructed guideline was analyzed by Kappa statistics. The initial validity of the modified model was tested using meta-regression analyses. Three new elements were included into the modified model: vestibular and somatosensory perceptions, and locomotor response. The spatial code from the original model was modified into a visuospatial domain. The computational framework was constructed, and two separate guidelines were created for walking and concurrent tasks. Using the guidelines and computational framework, task-related elements were quantified for meta-regression analysis. The analysis showed that the modified model can explain 79% of the variability in speed reduction during DT walking.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"531 - 561"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46583255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hand movements are measured using a 3D-motion capture system. Data analysis is based on the segmentation of the hand angular position using 8 fuzzy angle windows (labelled as approximately 0°, approximately 45°, etc.), when the hand rests on the steering wheel, one window, else. To obtain information about the coordination aspect, 9 × 9 bivariate windows are considered for each time sample (recorded at 25 Hz); then, the average membership values are computed for each individual driving situation. The individual membership value sets related to the road geometries are studied via Correspondence Analysis, allowing to displaying both the inter- and intra-individual differences and the most discriminating bivariate windows. The methodology with 9 × 9 windows is more complex but implies less information loss than alternative ones e.g. when the two hands are separately analysed, which constitutes 9 + 9 windows and contains no information about the coordination aspect.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"475 - 499"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47362966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What should a vehicle that is operating autonomously do when it has no choice but to have a collision? And who should decide which vehicle manoeuvre is the most acceptable? These situations create moral dilemmas requiring consideration of the most acceptable and moral action of the vehicle. In this paper we explore current research in this domain and work towards enabling ethical solutions. We identify current experimental work (practical studies rather than theoretical studies) on this problem often contains fundamental flaws due to the lack of real-world validity within the studied scenarios. We argue that morality is highly context dependent and that participants need to be more engaged in the choices they are claiming to make. Suggestions for future work include virtual reality or simulation methodologies which promote immersivity to ensure procedural validity whilst retaining safety. We also identify current guidelines contradict public viewpoint and argue public attitude needs to be better understood to give autonomous and automated vehicle manufacturers confidence in their design.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"435 - 452"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43509074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although trust has repeatedly been conceptualized as having a component of risk, the role risk plays, as well as what elements of risk impact trust (e.g., perceived risk, risk-taking propensity), has not been clearly explained. Upon reviewing the foundational theories of trust, it is clear that trust is only needed when risk exists or is perceived to exist, in both human-human and human-automation contexts. Within the limited research that has explored human-automation trust and risk, it has been found that the presence of risk and a participant’s perceived situational risk impacts their behavioural trust of the automation. In addition, perceived relational risk has a strong negative relationship with trust. We provide an enhanced model of trust to demonstrate how risk interacts with trust, incorporating these distinct perceived risks, as well as risk-taking propensity. This model identifies the unique interactions of these components with trust based on both the theory reviewed and the studies that have explored some aspects of these relationships. Guidelines are provided for improving the study of human-automation trust via the incorporation of risk.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"500 - 516"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42852268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a novel within-subjects design, we followed this comparatively nascent focus and investigated whether people can detect swarm degradations in assets flocking via consensus, their accuracy in estimating those degradations, and their confidence in those estimates. We also assessed open-ended responses to shed light on the strategies people may use to detect swarm degradations. Participants were recruited online and viewed 21 randomized simulations, each 30 seconds in duration with varying proportions of asset degradation. Results showed that the proportion of asset degradation did have an effect on the aforementioned criteria. Qualitative themes showed preliminary evidence that participants used common strategies to detect the time and degree of swarm degradation. However, we did not find evidence of a linear effect of the degradation manipulation on criteria of interest, which did not support our expectations. We discuss limitations and future research perspectives in detail, which we believe provide fodder for future work to investigate human-swarm interaction at a more granular level.","PeriodicalId":22852,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"562 - 587"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44295897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
