Many indigenous plants around the world can\u0000 potentially serve as valuable resources for long-duration space missions.\u0000 The raw material Ischnosiphon Axouma commonly known as (Terite) is\u0000 indigenous to the island of Trinidad. Before the 15th century, terite was\u0000 used in weaving by the island's indigenous inhabitants to make household\u0000 items, such as baskets for fishing, jewelry, and utensils that lasted a\u0000 lifetime. Some of the weaving techniques used have been passed on to\u0000 generations and are present today. The terite is cut from the stalk and\u0000 split into equal widths to extract the raw material strands. The roots are\u0000 left intact to ensure continuous growth; they self-replenish. The strands\u0000 produce eco-friendly craft items such as; tabletops, lampshades, book\u0000 covers, plates, teacup holders, and more. The leaves have the potential to\u0000 be used to make sanitary plates and bowls. The inner part of the stalk is\u0000 used as a natural fertilizer for plants. Thus most of the Terite plant can\u0000 be utilised with minimum wastage. In this paper, a design thinking approach\u0000 is outlined to help us identify and evaluate potential experiments that\u0000 could yield innovative solutions to the challenges of space habitation. It\u0000 also identifies the areas of study and the considerations that are necessary\u0000 to long-duration space travel and the potential for the development of space\u0000 tourism within the Caribbean region.In this paper, we propose potential\u0000 experiments to begin to explore terite as a sustainable and multifunctional\u0000 resource in space. The experiments are as follows:(1) Cultivation and\u0000 processing: Experiments done in this area would focus on optimizing the\u0000 cultivation and processing of Terite in space habitats and other planets.\u0000 This would involve testing the feasibility of growing Terite in different\u0000 conditions, including various lighting and temperature settings.\u0000 Additionally, we would investigate the best methods for processing Terite,\u0000 such as drying and extracting its fibres, to maximize its usefulness as a\u0000 resource.(2) Construction Application: these experiments would examine\u0000 Terite's potential applications as a material for construction in space\u0000 habitats. We would test its mechanical properties, such as its tensile\u0000 strength, elasticity, and toughness, to determine its suitability for\u0000 different engineering applications and astronaut personal items to survive\u0000 under space conditions. Additionally, we would investigate its compatibility\u0000 with other materials commonly used in space habitats, such as metals and\u0000 plastics.(3) Reinforced 3D printing: the experiment would aim to determine\u0000 whether Terite fibers can be a useful and sustainable reinforcement for 3D\u0000 printing in space, providing additional strength and durability to printed\u0000 objects while reducing the need for sy","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116939159","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}

Bengler","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1004172","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1004172","url":null,"abstract":"Human-machine Interface (HMI) is critical for safety during automated driving, as it serves as the only media between the automated system and human users. To guarantee an understandable and transparent HMI, an evaluation method is urgently needed. However, there hasn't been a standardized and objective assessment method for HMI transparency. The methods used to evaluate HMI nowadays are primarily subjective and not efficient. To bridge the gap, an objective and standardized HMI assessment method was proposed in a previous study, but the adaptation to a simulator environment was not validated. Hence, the objective of this study is to first identify suitable objective workload measures in a driving context before incorporating them into the proposed transparency assessment method. In this study, two psychophysiological measures, electrocardiography (ECG) and electrodermal activity (EDA) were evaluated for their effectiveness in finding differences in mental workload among different HMI designs in a driving simulator. Three HMI designs with different transparency were developed and used as independent variables. Besides the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) between normal heartbeats from the ECG and the skin conductance response (SCR) from the EDA, self-reported NASA-TLX scores were also evaluated and considered as dependent variables. The study was conducted in a static driving simulator with a field of view of 120 degrees. A total of 24 participants were recruited, and each experienced 12 trials counterbalanced for HMI designs and driving scenarios. Participants were asked to monitor the HMI constantly and activate SAE Level 2 automated driving system whenever they felt comfortable. During the interaction, the eye tracker was applied to identify the time points when participants were gazing at the HMI designs. These time points were later used as references to calculate the corresponding RMSSD and SCR. Results showed that the RMSSD from ECG and the SCR from EDA were able to identify significant differences in objective mental workload when interacting with in-vehicle HMIs. Plus, the same correlations among HMI designs for two psychophysiological measures and the NASA-TLX were also identified. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to use psychophysiological measures to estimate the mental workload when interacting with HMI during automated driving. The results of this study could be used as a firm ground for future research. The findings not only help identify suitable objective workload measures for the interaction with HMI during simulator driving but also serve as the first step toward a standardized transparency assessment method.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"602 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133632878","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}

Kett, Jürgen Falkner","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1004162","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1004162","url":null,"abstract":"Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) describes a paradigm in which all\u0000 resources of an ecosystem are offered as services. If this approach is\u0000 applied in the manufacturing industry with physical goods such as machines\u0000 or equipment, we talk about Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS). Depending on the\u0000 value proposition of the EaaS, a distinction can be made between\u0000 availability, utility, result, and success centric EaaS business models. For\u0000 example, in availability centric EaaS business models, the value proposition\u0000 consists of the availability of a service with agreed performance standards,\u0000 with the billing parameter being the time in which it is being made\u0000 available. In dependency of the value proposition the service provider takes\u0000 over several risks. One risk he always must take over is the investment risk\u0000 for the equipment To be able to realize the value propositions listed above\u0000 and to assess and take over the risks, there is a need for change in the\u0000 company of the provider. This work shows this need for change as a basis for\u0000 the planning and implementation of EaaS services.To identify the need for\u0000 change we conducted three workshops of 120 minutes each with 7 small and\u0000 medium-sized enterprises (SME) from the field of mechanical and plant\u0000 engineering to develop one of their transactional business models\u0000 conceptually into an EaaS business model. The methodical approach of the\u0000 workshops followed three phases which are necessary for the development of\u0000 an EaaS business model: (1) target group orientation, (2) EaaS service and\u0000 delivery and (3) benefit and pricing model. In the first phase, the focus is\u0000 on the target group and its needs, which shall be satisfied with an EaaS\u0000 service. The second phase focuses on the EaaS itself, which consists of\u0000 physical and digital service components. In addition, the own organizational\u0000 and technical as well as the cooperative structures required for the service\u0000 provision are considered. In the third phase, a subscription-based pricing\u0000 model must be developed based on the provided benefits.The results show that\u0000 understanding EaaS users is fundamental in the development of an EaaS\u0000 service. Since these are a combination of physical and digital service\u0000 components, they can be designed very individually to meet the customer\u0000 needs. This combination means that different types of users can and should\u0000 be addressed in a company. This requires the development of additional\u0000 services and the definition of performance guarantees, whose fulfillments\u0000 should be made transparent to the service user. To do that corresponding\u0000 technical and organizational measures are necessary, for which, for example,\u0000 the digital support of administrative processes by monitoring systems or the\u0000 change in sales or product management is required. If these requirements\u0000 cannot be met with the company's internal structures, strategic partnerships\u0000 with insurance companies, banks or IT providers are necessary to support the\u0000 EaaS pro","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131504961","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}

This trend\u0000 indicates a rapid increase in the elderly population, which poses\u0000 significant social development challenges. Maintaining the health of the\u0000 elderly is essential for their continued ability to contribute to their\u0000 families and communities. The complex effects of aging, such as\u0000 physiological degradation, memory loss, and diminished physical\u0000 coordination, can significantly impact daily life, making it crucial to find\u0000 ways to delay aging and enhance the quality of life of the elderly.\u0000 Achieving this goal requires transdisciplinary collaboration among\u0000 professionals.This design research project involved a transdisciplinary team\u0000 comprising geriatric occupational therapy, electrical engineering, and\u0000 digital design professionals who proposed a design solution for solitary\u0000 older adults. The proposed solution is a multi-player drumming interactive\u0000 device designed for home use, integrating virtual and physical elements with\u0000 low technological burden on users.

During a SAR mission, UAVs are\u0000 deployed to offer a birds-eye perspective of the search space which is\u0000 captured by the onboard payload sensors and transmitted to human operators\u0000 in real time. Currently, this data stream is processed manually by a Payload\u0000 Operator to identify any hazards or signs of human life on the ground.\u0000 However, the task of identifying and extrapolating information using the\u0000 display technology is highly challenging. This is primarily due to the high\u0000 levels of cognitive effort which must be expended over time to detect\u0000 sightings that are likely to be camouflaged or obscured by the surrounding\u0000 terrain. For this reason, system engineers are looking to develop image\u0000 classification modules capable of autonomous object detection and labelling\u0000 to streamline the information acquisition process from the UAV. When looking\u0000 to introduce novel functionality, such as an image classification module, it\u0000 is important to consider how decision-making processes are currently\u0000 undertaken by the team of human operators. In doing so, a greater\u0000 understanding is yielded on how the current ways of working could be\u0000 supported through further design intervention. The current work aims to\u0000 capture these processes using the representational medium of the Decision\u0000 Ladder. Rasmussen (1974) developed the Decision Ladder to define the\u0000 different information processing activities undertaken by a decision-maker\u0000 when identifying an appropriate course of action within a given situation.\u0000 In order to develop the Decision Ladder for the UAV-equipped SAR scenario,\u0000 knowledge elicitation activities were conducted using interviews with SAR\u0000 personnel.The final amalgamated Decision Ladder was populated using the\u0000 responses from the interviews. The decision model demonstrated the\u0000 complexity of utilising UAVs to support a SAR mission due to the regulatory\u0000 and technological constraints associated with the UAV. In addition, the\u0000 importance of a validation activity was emphasised by the SAR personnel\u0000 which would be conducted to determine the accuracy of any information\u0000 presented by the automated system. Here, the decision ladder was able to\u0000 identify the broad set of information aspects that would be reviewed by the\u0000 human-UAV team. The subsequent knowledge obtained would be used to identify\u0000 the relevance of a sighting and determine the most appropriate response\u0000 using the limited resources available within the SAR environment. This\u0000 insight provided from the Decision Ladder was used to propose a set of novel\u0000 design recommendations that could extend the capabilities of the image\u0000 classification module within the SAR context.
