GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION AND HUMAN ERRORS IN A VIBRATORY ENVIRONMENT

Abstract The following study has been written in view of an ergonomical application. This paper is about an experiment on a simple decision making task. The purpose is to analyze human errors and to contribute to the cognitive modelisation of the human operator. Its originality is to try to take into account the influence of specific vibrations, in addition to the intrinsic characteristics of the human operator,. After general considerations, the experimental protocol is detailed and some specific data processing are presented. The close examination of the results reveals a few characteristic behaviors, when the presented graphs are bar-graphs or polygons.
