Ergonomics of new user interfaces

As part of this assignment, Human Design Group provided assistance to EDF-CIPN in specifying and evaluating the ergonomics of the supervision system's user interfaces using the following approach:

• Immersion in the driving activity of 1300 MW operators by carrying out activity analyses in the control room;
• Implementation of an expert analysis and a user test to evaluate the ergonomics of the user interfaces of the current supervision system;
• Leading user workgroups to iterate and validate GUI solutions;
• Definition of the ergonomics of the new system's user interfaces: imagery, navigation and control methods, principles for presenting information and implementing functions, graphic representation of the symbols in the synoptics;
• Evaluation and validation of new solutions through user trials on HMI prototypes: evaluation protocol, transmission and processing of results;
• Assisting with the formalisation and drafting of requirements relating to the ergonomics of user interfaces in the SICP specifications drawn up by the EDF-CIPN engineering teams, as well as the drafting of procedures for integrating a human factor approach during the system design and production phase;
• Integrated« intervention in the EDF-CIPN engineering teams.

• Specification of a new supervision system with modernised HMI ergonomics, validated by the driving operators;
• Production, in collaboration with EDF-CIPN, of specifications incorporating ergonomic requirements for user interfaces and methodological requirements for taking human factors into account during the system development phases.
