  • Abstract
    The role of human operators in supervised automation system is analysed. Human limitations in supervisory control are summarised based on the study of human model and human-machine interaction. Although it is arguably advantageous if some tasks are assigned to a human operator rather than an automation system, it is shown that the number of linked subsystems should be limited. The implications of this study are also discussed.
