Comprehensive evaluation method for user interface design in nuclear power plant based on mental workload

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Mental workload (MWL) is a major consideration for the user interface design in nuclear power plants(NPPs). However, each MWL evaluation method has its advantages and limitations, thus the evaluationand control methods based on multi-index methods are needed. In this study, fuzzy comprehensiveevaluation (FCE) theory was adopted for assessment of interface designs in NPP based on operators'MWL. An evaluation index system and membership functions were established, and the weights weregiven using the combination of the variation coefficient and the entropy method. The results showed thatmulti-index methods such as performance measures (speed of task and error rate), subjective rating(NASA-TLX) and physiological measure (eye response) can be successfully integrated in FCE for userinterface design assessment. The FCE method has a correlation coefficient compared with most of theoriginal evaluation indices. Thus, this method might be applied for developing the tool to quickly andaccurately assess the different display interfaces when considering the aspect of the operators' MWL.
