2009.3 Workload on rail, road, air, and water, S. Haga, Rikkyo University, Tokyo, Japan
When assessing workload in transportation systems, it is important to note that there is different
work stress in different traffic mode. I will show my own attempt to measure workload of train
drivers, motorcycle riders, and ship captains. Then I will compare major stress factors in train
driving, automobile driving, motorcycle riding, aircraft flight, and ship operation, and discuss the
importance of selection/development suitable workload measures for assessment.
2009.4 Automation system should support operators’ situation awareness, A. Ishibashi, Japan
Institute of Human Factors Inc., Yokohama, Japan
In the last 18years no fatal accident has been occurred in Japanese commercial airlines. However a
near mid-air collision had occurred and one hundred passengers injured on January 31,2001. The
accident investigation team pointed out that the pilot, who had been advised to climb by the TCAS,
had not followed the advisory message. The board of accident investigation had given a
recommendation to ICAO to make a rule that pilots should follow the TCAS Resolution Advisory
(RA) without any hesitation. This paper focuses on relationship between system accuracy in the
glass-cockpit and pilots’ situation awareness under the time criticality.
2009.5 Imperfect automation for Airborne conflict avoidance: Implications for trust, situation
awareness and display design, C.D. Wickens, X.D. Xu, University of Illinois, Institute of Aviation,
Savoy, IL, USA
Traffic conflict warning systems for aviation represent a form of automation designed to relieve
pilot workload (of continuous monitoring), and improve situation awareness. But because
automation must make inferences about the future behavior of air traffic, in an environment of
uncertainty due to winds, weather, and unknown pilot intent, such automation will be vulnerable
to both false alerts, and misses (or late alerts). We describe the consequences of such imperfect
automation for pilots’ trust in, and reliance on, such automation, along with the evaluation of a
mitigation strategy based on the concept of multi-level alerts, or likelihood alarms.
2010 INVITED SYMPOSIUM
Translating and adapting psychological tests for cross-cultural uses: Problems, solutions,
models and guidelines
Convener and Chair: R.F. Ostermann, USA
2010.1 What do we need to successfully adapt a test? F. van de Vijver 1 , J. Chantale 2 , 1 Tilburg
University, Tilburg, The Netherlands; 2 Laval University, Quebec, Canada
It is argued that a successful test adaptation requires the combination of linguistic, cultural, and
psychometric expertise. Test adaptations (translations) have multiple, linked stages, beginning
with the design of the study ad ending with reporting the results. In each stage the considerations
relevant for test adaptations are described. A project in which the California Personality Inventory
(CPU-434) was adapted for use among French-Canadians is used as an illustration. The adaptation
process (using an extended committee approach with multiple forward translations and an
