Situation Awareness: the perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status in the near future. – Endsley, 1995
This Working Group will lead R&D efforts to incorporate the elements of situation awareness into mobile mining equipment, leading to increased safety and operator performance.
Beginning with a focus on the development of an integrated common operator interface for shovels, SA applications could be developed for other types of equipment in the future.
New! The Final Report and Final User Interface Description of the SA Working Group’s 2012 project, Development of a Common User Interface for Mine Shovels, is now available.
