To
introduce automation into virtually all aspects of human-machine systems, in
computer hardware as well as software technical development now makes it
possible. Automation does not merely supplant and also changes human activity;
appropriate selection is important as well as on the human operator also
imposes new coordination demands. Four broad classes of function we propose the
automation that could be applied the first is acquisition the data the second
is about the analysis of the information the third one is decision along with
action selection and the fourth is action implementation. From low to high automation
could be applied across the range of levels, inside every type through the
manually to completely automated. All four types at different levels a
particular system could involve automation. Using our model for the automation
design constitute the criteria of primary evaluation the human performance
consequences of particular types and levels. Automation reliability is included
in the 2nd evaluation criteria as well as decision of costs consequences, among
others. To illustrate the application of the model to design automation the
examples of recommended types as well as level of automation are provided. The present work is mainly related to the human
automation integration process including autonomous vehicle and other considerations.

Introduction
of Human
automation integration
The
human automation integration is machineries which are interrupted with human interaction.
(Sheridan 2002). There are numerous benefits as well as drawbacks related to
human automation integration. In order to understand the domain several
researches are done in this area. Several researches are been done but
implementation is rare. In order to take benefits from advantages of
automation, the systems are integrated in current work flow of the
organizations to see how it works. The load on human is reduced and work is
done quickly and efficiently. Due to modern day research and development drawbacks
of automation are well known. The autonomous
vehicles enables to reduce dramatically the fatal accidents. The mainstream is
to save the lives of users and to reduce the death rates. The additional safety
features besides the seat belts and air bags are the new technology that is
from the autonomous vehicles driver reduced error. The possible errors of
drivers are reduced that ultimately reduces the accident rates in the city.
Advantages
of automation are loud and clear, computer is reducing work load for humans in
work place from several decades. Years back computer performed all the tasks
with more efficiency and accuracy than any men did. It is fast, efficient,
accurate and well acknowledged. Automation does not mean that humans and their
efforts are ignored but their load is lessened. On contrast, humans interact
and deal with the complexity and automations of machines. These days automation
is done to provide helpful information to the user. After receiving the
information man is responsible for making a decision over provided information.
Sometimes it can provide required recommendations which can improve the quality
of work.
The focus of the present work is integrated challenges for the
future automation and adaptation of human centric design. The specific problems
can be used for the identification of integrated system. The system design can
be evaluated through operation and function. The work considers empirical,
theoretical, and operational work that provides foundation to the human
automation integration. The automation system are applied to the vehicles for
interface controlling of vehicles and amalgamation approaches. The domain used
in the process defines specified challenges and available opportunities for the
future. The vehicle control process is structured for the sets of functions.
The plan selection and the plan conception are defined in the guidance function
and the close loop control activities for the proper functioning.
Autonomous
vehicles provide aid to human and are able to do their job where there is
threat to human life. For example if a building burned down and there is chance
that some people might be in there, but the building can fall anytime, it has
risk to human life who is going in to save others, in this case automation can
be of great use by replacing humans and threat to their life. Autonomous
vehicles give chance to practitioners to look out the scene and take safety measures
without being part of it (Parasuraman B. T., 2006).
The
following design problem is considered. With a large number of dynamic
information a human operator of a complex system provided a decision must reach
relevant to acquiring a system goal safely as well as efficiently. Let’s take examples
of anesthesiologist doctor who know about the patient that when to decrease or
increase the dosage of drug before going to the surgery; another example is the
securities analysts that have all the information about how to buy a large
block of stock. To automate many aspects of the system technical development in
computer hardware and software make this possible, certain function carry out
to have a computer and the person normally operate. In type and complexity the
automation can differ, from simply association the sources data, in some
summary fashion integrate them, also suggesting the option of decision that is
perfectly matched with the incoming data, or else the necessary action even
carry out.
Given
these technical capabilities that a system function would be automated as well
as what to extent? Is the design issue of this system? The designs of many new
systems are increasing due to these types of basic questions. Herein this paper
we provide the system for answer that type of questions. Here is the two
criteria one is primary as well as the second criteria is the automation
reliability along with the costs of action. Such a consolidated approach recognizing
types and dimensions of computerization what's more, applying evaluative
criteria can enable the fashioner to decide in a specific framework what ought
to be automated. Since the effect of the evaluative criteria may contrast
between frameworks, the fitting kinds and for various frameworks dimensions of
mechanization can differ generally. Our model does not consequently endorse
what should be and ought not to be mechanized in a specific framework. Nevertheless,
use of the model gives a more entire as well as target reason for mechanization
plan than do approaches dependent on mechanical ability or financial
contemplations.
Now
with the help of automated machines we can perform every small task with the
help of machines that a human can perform before. Execution of machines might
be extended to the function that a human don’t want to perform, or also not
accurately give the answer. In the development automated system technical
issues are the major concerns that how functions are automated, as well as also
the characterization of the sensor, control the software system. The automation
can provide by the economic benefits, or else offer are perceived, on the
technical capabilities of automation also tend to focus public attention. In
contrast on automation to the voluminous technical literature, small growing
research the human capabilities base examining with automated system involved
in work. That automation does not simply supplant activity of human this work
has shown clearly the rather changes. Moreover, in engineering and design
circles these findings have not much visibility. Especially the important
issues are examination of performance due to the capabilities of modern
technicalities.
Literature review
of Human
automation integration
Trusting
the automation has always been an issue. Lee and See in 2004 conducted a
research on this. People relay on correctness of machinery. They expect the
correct results are produced through it. In 2001, Meyer showed that high
reliance on automation can produce non impressive results. As automation barely
makes any mistakes therefore system trusts the reliability of it and gives an
alert call when an issue is found. This can sometimes lead to problems. A
Cruise ship sailed in shallow water due to false automation there was no loss
or harm of human life but cruise was damaged and loss of $ 2 million was faced.
The ship had two systems that are
·
Autopilot
·
Automatic radar system.
Normally,
the GPS mode is on and used when autopilot for a ship is on. Autopilot takes
the ship on its route with respect to signals from GPS. Somehow, the signals
were distorted because the antenna and cable were not functioning properly.
This cause auto pilot and GPS mode to switch into dead reckoning mode which
without caring about tides or waves carried the ship towards shore. (Baquero, 2009)
According to the Raja parasuraman (2010) the author suggested
that the different group extensively involved in the field of human automation.
The paper is about to review the complacency if emirical studies as well as in
human interaction it is also bias along with automated and support the system
decision. to predict the future the scientific research accesses the past. By
those who have lived it the history of science is frequently best. In this the
author give the brief history of human-automation interaction with automated
systems describe the performance of human. On cognitive perormance an
accounting of automation effects, a key developments as well as description of
the start of adaptive automation. In operator functional state classification
an identification of contemporary techniques as well as problems (Parasuraman & at.al, Complacency and
Bias in Human Use of Automation: An Attentional Integration, 2010).
According to the Dehaisa, Caussea, Vachonb, & Tremblay, (2012)
the author suggestedthat this reaserch is based on the human factors that
concerns with the system that produce conflict with the human system. In such
conflicts once you entangled, in his current goal the human operator will do
everything to get success even it is just the endanger mission. Through an
experimental setup these indings would be confirm, and consists of the unmanned
vehicle, and developed a ground station. The robot is proposed a situation
including a specialist struggle among the members. On the members' insight examination
of the impacts of the contention as well as excitement is surveyed through
pulse estimation along with the strategies of
eye-following. Our outcomes plainly demonstrate that the event of the
contention prompts perseveration conduct as well as can initiate higher pulse
and in addition over the top attentional core interest. In terms of task
commitment issues these results are discussed as well as also increase the
arousal.
Discussion of
Human automation integration
The
reports concluded that the incident happened due to over reliance of crew on
the automated system of the ship. The accident was known to be inappropriate
high trust of crew. The point of discussion here is the over reliance of sailor
and crew on autopilot and lack of attention, this points towards lack of work
action from the responsible parties. The findings suggest that automation and
heavy reliance on it can be beneficial in some respect but it can go
drastically wrong and cause harm beyond repair. It is a key concern. Such
systems are installed to ensure security and safety but it does not assure
complete reliance without any harm.
In the
form of artificial intelligence the robots are rise and certainly enhancing
sectors for example transportation & logistics as well as manufacturing.
For transportation and logistics the automation has many clear advantages.
Automation is driven by mobile computers as well as scanners in the warehouse.
By consumers depending within the hour delivery as an industry this is a
challenged. Due to the use of mobile computers inventory checks have become more
efficient (Hilton, 2018).
It is
observed that humans as well as automation both can make mistakes. So the
question of replacement of a human being with a robot still remains unanswered.
Option one is to utilize robot power and effort and replace it with humans. A
question remains that how many humans will a single robot will replace? Some
human work can be replaced with robots reducing the work load on human beings
and making all the actions automated. There is a thought if human force is
replaced with robots and human efforts with automated systems then today’s cab
drivers can be replaced with robot drivers and these drivers will be
maintaining robots in future.
Idea of Human
automation integration
Integration
of automated system without any human interference in National system of air
giving humankind relieve from expected risk.
Description of
idea of
Human automation integration
The
idea includes the removal of human interference from the control office in an
air plane, distinctive functioning, several accessible command and control
links. Training, supreme knowledge and clear understanding is required to fly
an automated plane without being part of it. Logic of the aircraft is the focal
point as a human will not be part of it.
Important gaps
of Human
automation integration
There
are some shortcomings present to the model idea of human automation integration.
For idea like this to be implemented it is important that has greater potential
outcome and low expenditure. The system should be smart enough that if hacked
by any foreign body or terrorists it remains protected and free from any harm.
It should include; eye tracking, sound tracking etc. human force will have to
learn more about the technology which will cause greater load of work but it is
expected to reduce once the technology and its functioning is understood. (Parasuraman R. , Human-Automation Interaction, 2005)
It
will be a highly sophisticated technology which cannot be readily available to
a common man with limited wealth. In order to integrate smart, extensive and broad-spectrum
functioning in automated plane electronics, exceptional yet smartest software
technologies and flight systems will be incorporated. In order to meet any ugly
situation controllers will be responsible for the correctness and efficient
working, uniquely designed planning is required, and risk factors will be
calculated and mitigated and the system will be programmed to fight any harm,
if it occurs.
Resolving
issue is the most important section of serving the public. As compared to the
robots the human can listen as well as understand the situation so this is gap
that can’t be fulfill in my point of view may be in future this can be
enhanced. The other reason is the human empathize. For the public there is
another gap that automated or robots don’t have any emotions. From a soothing
voice it’s the warm feeling that ensures you understand the problem and could
fix it (Walline & Knudsen, 2017).
