Abstract
When developing new interface features, it is vital to consider the perspectives of users from several backgrounds throughout the process, in order to ensure features that address realistic user concerns in effective ways. The Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA) and an established user acceptance questionnaire were used to evaluate the predicted usability and acceptability of four enhanced interface features for unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) operation. The targeted interface is designed for use in real-world and simulated environments. Although the SHERPA results alone did not clearly distinguish between interface enhancements, the user acceptance results from team members converged on a single ‘best’ interface enhancement for supporting collision avoidance and navigation, based on assessments using early mock-ups in a simulated environment.
