Intervention

  • Implementation of a human factors engineering approach
  • Specification of user requirements based on needs gathering and analysis
  • Specification of the ergonomics of the HMIs of the MACOPS assistance demonstrator
  • HMI evaluation for iteration on defined HMI solutions
  • During the ergonomic specification work: weekly discussions with the manufacturer on the progress of the proposed HMI principles, ultimately leading to «operational» HMIs that are compatible with the schedule and technical constraints.
  • Creating a demonstrator and conducting experiments

Results

  • An operational demonstrator with GUIs that meet user needs, ergonomic specifications that are compatible with technical constraints and the industrial development schedule.
  • Technical specifications of the requirements for the future system
