Abstract :
We discuss how a human-interface of a large complex system affects situation awareness. Through some experiments for controlling a simulated fluid circulation plant, we show that poor situation awareness is due to various factors, such as automation, mental models on the system, workload, human-interface design. We also show how we can improve the human-interface for aiding situation awareness
