Many domains currently experience an increase in level of automation of their technical systems. However, the increased level of automation must be accompanied with the development of well-functioning human-automation collaboration to avoid undesirable phenomena such as automation surprises or reduced situational awareness. In safety critical domains like air traffic control, this may be more than an inconvenience or loss of efficiency: in the worst case, it can jeopardize flight safety. Although these issues and risks related to increased automation are well-known, they continue to appear in new systems. This indicates that they are not sufficiently addressed in the design of new automation, and that better methods and ideas for this must be developed. This dissertation explores how the concept of flexible automation can be used to increase the understanding of how to design for better human-automation collaboration. The fundamental idea of the flexible automation concept is to provide the automation with knowledge about the human’s situation and let the automation combine that with its understanding of the overall situation, including mutual work- and control processes. At a conceptual level, this also widens the view on automation as merely a way to replace human labor, to a view on automation where it enhances the joint performance of the human-automation team. It also emphasizes the human as an essential piece of a successful automation. Though being important and applicable to many areas and domains, this dissertation is mainly focused on the air traffic control domain, but also includes elements from the domains of vessel traffic service and train traffic management. The approach for the dissertation has been to use the known problems and issues with automation as a starting point, and then decompose that complex of problems and explore them to find possible solutions. Initiation of communication between automation and human, how and when it is performed, were identified as one critical point in the ...
