Title:

USE OF MOUSE TRACKING TO EVALUATE THE OPERATOR EFFICIENCY ON TRAIN DISPATCHER WORKSTATIONS

Accession Number:

01594433

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

The operator efficiency describes the ability of an operator to bundle operational actions in terms of space and time in order to achieve an efficient, i. e. time saving operational process with a close correlation with the situational awareness. The operator efficiency depends as well on the design of the user interface as on the training level of the operator. Mouse tracking is a proven method applied in usability engineering to study operator behaviour. Two case studies based on train dispatcher workstation simulations in a railroad operations laboratory have been investigating whether mouse tracking analyses allow to prove the influence of the training level of different operators as well as the influence of changed operational functions on the operator efficiency.
