UK HV Description
Operating conditions
Operational phases; settings (e.g. environmental constraints); conditional variations
Assess: compare resulting tasks for human performance
(e.g. task time, probability of completion/success rates, overall mission time, reaction
times, probabilistic error rates, workload)
10 HV-C Locations, and associated physical variables (e.g. environmental stressors – e.g. thermal
stress)
Assess: performance or health degradation
11 HV-A Actual personnel (actors) with skills/characteristics assigned to roles
Numbers of people specified
12 HV-C Location constraints requiring movement of people or material
13 SV-10
a, b c
(++)
Model of system behaviour (e.g. UAV is managed by both the flight path and the location of
target)
Probabilistic transfer models for system state transitions
Assess: represent the movement of agents relative to the terrain and each other (e.g.
Petri-net for Petri-net simulation; stocks and flows) -
‘animate’ physical progression
14 HV-G Conditional variations (e.g. events causing loss of nodes; variable efficiency of individual
nodes; loss of communication links)
Event timeline (e.g. phasing, conditions, disturbances)
Assess: performance of network exchanges (affected by human constraints)
E.g. network information exchange performance (speed in passing information, hold-ups,
quality of information after multiple passing); predict bottlenecks, e.g. routing problem
15 SV-10
a,b,c
Human agent activities (task, sequence, behaviour rules)
Assess: behaviour of human nodes:
Human performance (individual; team) for entire task or task sections (compare for team
configurations; technology use, conditions) – e.g. information overload, task time, error
rates, delays, decision quality/accuracy
16 HV-D Define organisation based on preferred network, roles and task sequences
