The capacity to utilize and integrate domain-specific cues is potentially advantageous in operating aircraft where the range of sensory cues available is constrained. However, the impact of domain-specific cue utilization on safety performance has yet to be investigated in the context of RPA operations. Data were obtained from 48 remote pilots with a range of operational experience. The participants completed the VLOS RPA edition of EXPERTise 2.0, which provided an assessment of cue utilization. The participants also completed a survey of their experience of adverse RPA safety events. The results indicated that small VLOS RPA pilots with relatively higher levels of domain-specific cue utilization were less likely to be involved in adverse RPA safety events, independent of conventional and remote aviation flying experience. While higher levels of recent remote flying activity were advantageous for all remote pilots regardless of their level of cue utilization, higher levels of recency were associated with a disproportionate improvement in the safety performance of individuals with relatively lower levels of cue utilization. The outcomes have implications for both training and the assessment of pilot performance in RPA operations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 104650"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145158359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, prolonged disengagement from the driving task may induce passive task-related (PTR) fatigue, which may negatively impact takeover performance. The present study sought to investigate whether video entertainment during prolonged automated driving can mitigate these risks. A driving simulation experiment was conducted with 32 participants who experienced varying durations of automated driving time (ADT) ranging from 15 to 60 min, both with and without video entertainment. Cognitive load, fatigue, and takeover performance were assessed using objective and subjective measures. Linear mixed effects models were employed to analyze the effects of video entertainment, ADT, and their interaction on the dependent variables. The results indicated that video entertainment not only increased cognitive load, but also effectively suppressed the growth of fatigue with longer ADT, as reflected by blink frequency and KSS scores. Furthermore, video entertainment reduced safety risks in prolonged automation scenarios by shortening takeover time and increasing the minimum time to collision. These findings suggest that video entertainment can improve comfort and takeover safety under prolonged automated driving scenarios by mitigating PTR fatigue.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 104644"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145121212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
