Abstract

By introducing advanced automation, human-machine systems become more functional and complex. Generally, in such systems, multiple users control and supervise the machine cooperatively in terms of coordinated functions. Consequently, the complexity of interaction between the machine and the collaborating users has caused unpredictable problems called automation surprises. Automation surprises mislead user´s wrong awareness about the machine´s current state and may result in serious human errors. In this paper, we analyze the human-machine interaction intervened in multiple users and address the verification of automation surprises based on discrete event system theory
