Title: Human performance modeling and user-centered design Project Goal: The project is aimed at addressing usability issues related to human interaction with existing and emerging fluid power systems. Appropriate human performance models can help to assess the impact of variations in the human-machine interaction while the user centered design strategy can ensure intuitive, safe and effective user experiences. What is the problem?: Human performance plays a very critical role in the overall system performance. Many existing Fluid Power applications such as excavators, backhoes, etc. require their operators to function for long periods of time at a level that requires a lot of skill, concentration and effort to complete the task at hand. It therefore vital to study the human-machine interaction and develop methods for tracking human performance due to safety issues, quality improvement, cost, and design. What is the solution?
