9. System-Wide Error Attribution in Multi-Vehicle Operations: Theoretical Explanation, Implications and Applications
DescriptionIn multi-vehicle aerial operations (MVOs), one or more operators (m) are responsible for managing multiple uncrewed vehicles (N). This is referred to as the m:N operational paradigm. It is projected that increasingly autonomous systems will be implemented to support this paradigm. When automation errors occur during MVOs, a question is raised: what level of system globality should the error be attributed to? If an error is falsely attributed, this could have safety or efficiency ramifications. Too high a level, and disuse may occur due if functioning vehicles are grounded; too low a level, and misuse may occur if impacted vehicles are inappropriately permitted to continue operations. This work seeks to approach explaining and predicting how MVO operators attribute automation error through two related factors which play a role in operator system perception: (1) the features of perceptual stimuli and (2) operator expertise, specifically, in the form of external information.
