Developed by the leading scientists in the field, Designing for Situation Awareness: An Approach to User-Centered Design, Third Edition offers a systematic and successful methodology for supporting the situation awareness (SA) of individuals and teams who work in complex and demanding environments.

Newly updated to reflect the latest research on SA, this new edition provides needed background on common SA challenges, the cognitive processes people use to form and maintain SA, and the agile design processes that the SA-Oriented Design processes can compliment. The chapters feature detailed examples of SA-Oriented Design focused on SA in driving, SA in healthcare, SA in command and control, SA in unmanned and remotely operated vehicles, and SA with augmented reality. It also includes 60 detailed design principles for engineers and designers who want to improve the SA provided by their systems based on leading research in the field, as well as 12 principles and proven approaches for developing effective SA training. Design principles focus on supporting people’s SA processes and dealing with common SA challenges, supporting an understanding of information certainty, dealing with complexity and alarms, and the effects of automation and AI on SA, as well as supporting the unique SA needs of teams.

This book will appeal to any engineer, human factors practitioner, system designer, or other professional interested in situation awareness. It will be highly pertinent to aviation engineers, military engineers, intelligence professionals, emergency management personnel, medical practitioners, air traffic controllers, automobile engineers, financial and business management workers, and power and process control room staff.
