The term `operator functional state' (OFS) acknowledges the intrinsic relationship between human task performance and the background state of the individual. Although central to an understanding of all aspects of performance, OFS, as its name implies, is of particular relevance to the behavior of operators of industrial control processes - chemical and nuclear plants, aviation, air traffic control, shipping, railways. The demands of managing complex control systems, particularly those that have safety-critical features, mean that operators cannot usually relax when they feel tense, or take breaks when they are tired. Instead, they must sustain high levels of task-directed effort for long periods, giving rise to strain, fatigue and unwanted after effects of work. The OFS approach recognizes the active nature of this adaptation to work goals and personal state, and argues for a methodology based on the necessity of examining the relationship between these processes under task conditions. The relationships between workload, effort, performance and fatigue, and the use of psychophysiological methods to investigate them, are at the heart of research in this area. Such issues are strongly represented in the papers that make up the present volume, which are based on the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW).

A comprehensive overview of different approaches to the measurement of situation awareness in experimental and applied setting, this book directly tackles the problem of ensuring that system designs and training programs are effective at promoting situation awareness. It is the first book to provide a all-inclusive coverage of situation awareness and its measurement. Topics addressed provide a detailed analysis of the use of a wide variety of techniques for measuring situation awareness and situation assessment processes. It provides a rich resource for engineers and human factors psychologists involved in designing and evaluating systems in many domains.

Fatigue is a recognized problem in many facets of the human enterprise. It is not confined to any one area of activity but enters all situations in which humans have to perform for extended intervals of time. Most problematic are the circumstances in which obligatory action is continuous and the results of failure are evidently serious or even catastrophic. Therefore, the modern media especially highlights fatigue-related failures in industries such as transportation, materials processing and healthcare. It can be, and indeed is, no coincidence that most of the spectacular failures in process control that have resulted in the world's largest industrial accidents have occurred in the small hours of the morning when the circadian rhythm is lowest and operator fatigue itself peaks. While there have been legislative efforts made at state, federal and international levels to regulate working hours of employees, the appropriate implementation of such legislation is still a long way off. The Handbook of Operator Fatigue provides a comprehensive account of the subject to serve as the definitive reference work for researchers, students and practitioners alike. The volume features 30 chapters written by experts from around the world to address each important facet of fatigue, including: the scale of the fatigue problem (Section I), the nature of fatigue (Section II), how to assess fatigue (Section III), the impact of fatigue on health (Section IV), fatigue in the workplace (Section V), the neurological basis of fatigue (VI), sleep disorders (VII), and the design of countermeasures to fatigue (VIII).
