Monitoring Displays - A Comparison of Nuclear and Aviation Practice..
Abstract:
Operations in both the nuclear and aviation domains are supervised and controlled from centralized control facilities. In both domains, displays for monitoring mission and system status have evolved to electronic display media from earlier electromechanical instruments and indicators. However, the information provided to support supervisory staff in monitoring tasks takes on substantially different forms in each domain.
This paper will discuss the findings from a comparison of monitoring displays commonly employed in nuclear and aviation operations. The paper will outline monitoring objectives and operational practices, review the evolution of display forms in each domain, examine how automation has influenced information content and presentation, and discuss examples of the insights and challenges to accepted practices that cross-domain comparisons can highlight.
