A Systematic Review of Current Adaptive Human-Machine Interface Research

The literature review provides information on how Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces can gauge an operator’s SA while modifying the display. The changes in how much SA the operator has during a mission or flight is measured using technology such as voice or EEG. Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces can also measure operator workload to determine how much SA the display should provide at any given time. To determine how and when to change the display, automation is used to determine how much to change, when to change the display, and what to show at any given time using machine learning or artificial intelligence. The complexity of the topics in this literature review contributes to the variability in terms, subjects, and definitions of Adaptive Interfaces. Workload, Situation Awareness, and the algorithms to support the two are all labeled in the literature review as an Adaptive Interface. The use of the term Adaptive Interface in the literature, regardless of the subject matter, supports this paper by showing the research differences under the same terminology. Method Research Design The study’s design included an extensive search of related material associated with Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces and a meta-analysis of the pre-existing data. To ensure the research design meets the research question, research related to the subject of Adaptive Interfaces was examined and categorized to determine the prominent definition and standard for adaptive interfaces. As depicted in Appendix A, these categories and sub-categories were the most prominent topics in reviewing the 108 samples found. Data for this research comprised journals and books related to the topic of “Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces.” The published information indicated that it was peer-reviewed or published by an accredited university. The published work included adaptive interfaces used in manned and unmanned systems. Data were collected using the online journal resources ERAU Hunt Library Eagle Search, Sage Journals Database, ResearchGate, Science Direct, Springer Link, Google Scholar, and IEEE Xplore. The available research on this topic focused on unmanned systems and included other systems that use Adaptive HMI. Categorizing the journals into three categories of Workload, Situation Awareness, and Autonomy with the definitions listed in Appendix A will allow for a qualitative data analysis approach. A Chi-square goodness of fit test measured the 108 journals’ categories to indicate if the journals are equally indicating the same definition and standards or if the journals favor one topic over the others. The data from this test indicated the most predominant definition and the standard used. An additional sub-category measured adaptive interfaces’ terminology to provide a single term to refer to Adaptive Interfaces. A review of the 108 samples indicated that multiple research journals discuss the same topic; however, they use a different term. For each of the three categories, additional sub-categories will help determine more precisely what each journal discusses in each category, as seen in Appendix A. For Workload Management, the sub-categories are the measurement of workload, us of eye-gaze, use of voice, and use of EEG. In the literature review, measuring workload appears to differentiate between research. For Situation Awareness, the sub-categories are the measurement of operator SA, loss of SA, and Situation to change HMI. These sub-categories help differentiate the specific research of SA in adaptive interfaces. For Autonomy, the sub-categories are AI, automation, and machine learning. Autonomy was put into these three sub-categories to understand what terminology researchers were using. Assumptions Assumptions for the statistical test is that the journals will fit into the three categories. To ensure all of the journals fit into the categories, the chosen topics are the predominant topics from an initial literature review. This research designates three categories and sub-categories based on the review of the literature samples. An assumption for the categories in this research is that they are the common research topic for adaptive interfaces. A thorough analysis determined the most common definitions used in the samples, and the three categories used were the most common topics in the data samples. Limitations A limitation of this study is the specificity of the topic and the interpretation of the categories and sub-categories. Research into adaptive interfaces is new and is still ongoing. As the topic is small and specific, using only an unmanned systems aspect will make it difficult to acquire all of the samples required for the test. To ensure the samples are significant for this research, journals will be required to be closely related to adaptive interfaces in unmanned systems, or they will utilize the same technology used to monitor the operator. Another limitation of this research is the qualitative nature of the study. Not all material associated with this topic were found due to limitations in access to all available information. Despite a data scrape of known research journal hosting websites, some data is likely missing from this research. Thus, the analysis of the qualitative data in this research is associated with the samples found for this paper. Delimitations A delimitation of this study is the focus on unmanned systems. To ensure research benefits the unmanned systems community, the research will focus on unmanned systems. However, this research will use published work not directly related to unmanned systems to ensure the research project does not ignore relevant work related to the project. Using work unrelated to unmanned systems will ensure the outcome of the project is useable as a definition and standard for all aviation human factors engineering instead of just unmanned systems Another delimitation is the personal determination of the categories in which to place the samples for this research. To ensure this delimitation does not negatively affect the results, the main categories are from a manual literature review and an automated computer-generated category system to ensure there were no personal biases to the categories. Results The hypotheses for this research are as follows: H1o: There is no statistical significance showing the disparity between definitions of Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces within the three identified categories (Workload, Situation Awareness, and Autonomy). H1a: There is statistical significance showing the disparity between definitions of Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces within the three identified categories (Workload, Situation Awareness, and Autonomy). H2o: There is no statistical significance showing the disparity between specific types of research of Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces within the fifteen identified sub-categories. H2a: There is statistical significance showing the disparity between specific types of research of Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces within the fifteen identified sub-categories. H3o: There is no statistical significance showing the disparity between titles for Adaptive Human-Machine Interface. H3a: There is statistical significance showing the disparity between titles for Adaptive Human-Machine Interface. A sample size of 108 was used in the research for the three main categories. Using GPower, a post-hoc power analysis yielded a power of 0.80 based on the sample size of 108: medium effect size of 0.3, and a level of significance of 0.05. The Chi-Square Goodness of fit test used two degrees of freedom for the three categories. The Chi-Square Goodness of fit test used for the sub-categories used 9 degrees of freedom with a sample size of 295. Using GPower, a post-hoc power analysis on this dataset yielded a power of 0.80, based on a sample size of 295: a medium effect size of 0.23, and a level of significance of 0.05. The sub-categories test used for the definition used four degrees of freedom using a sample size of 114. Using GPower, a post-hoc analysis yielded a power of 0.80, based on a sample size of 114: a medium effect size of 0.324, and a level of significance of 0.05. The first Chi-square goodness-of-fit test was conducted to examine the main categorical data, resulting in 2 (2, n = 1295) = 13.4305, p = 0.0012, shown in Table 1. The goal of this analysis was to evaluate the frequencies between categories and determine significance. As indicated, the p-value was smaller than 0.05, indicating that the frequencies found in each category do not show an equal distribution; and were statically different from what is expected by chance. According to the results shown in Table 1 and Figure 2, the Autonomy category was disproportionately over-represented. The Workload and Situation Awareness categories were equally represented. There was enough evidence in this dataset to reject the null hypothesis for H1; there was a clear overrepresentation of the research of automation in Adaptive Interface Research. Table 1 Chi-Square Results Categories Note. 2 =13.4305, df=2. Numbers in parentheses, (), are expected proportions. Prop. = proportion. p <0.05. Figure 2. Observed numbers for the three main categories. A second Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test was conducted to examine the sub-categorical data, resulting 2 (9, n = 295) = 148.627, p = 0.000, shown in Table 2. The goal of this analysis was to evaluate the frequencies between the sub-categories and determine significance. As indicated, the p-value was smaller than 0.05, indicating that the frequencies found in each category are not equally distributed; and were statically different from what would be expected by chance. According to the results shown in Table 2 and Figure 3, Measurements of Operator Situation Awareness and Automation were overly represented in the data. There was enough evidence in this dataset to reject the null hypothesis for H2. Table 2 Chi-Square Results for Sub-Categories Note. 2 = 148.627, df=9. Numbers in parentheses, (), are expected proportions. p <0.05. Figure 3. Observed numbers for the ten sub-categories. A third Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test was conducted to examine the sub-categorical data, resulting 2 (4, n = 114) = 59.5087, p = 0.00, shown in Table 3. This analysis aimed to evaluate the most prominent title or definition between the names used to identify Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces. As indicated, the p-value was smaller than 0.05, indicated the frequencies found in each category are not equally distributed; and were statically different from what would be expected by chance. According to the results shown in Table 3 and Figure 4, Adaptive Human-Machine Interface and Adaptive Automation were overly represented while Context-Adaptive User Interface was underrepresented. There was enough evidence in this dataset to reject the null hypothesis for H3. The data indicate that the most prominent titles are Adaptive Human-Machine Interface and Adaptive Automation.

Observed numbers for the five title categories

Chi-Square Test on the Main Categories The first Chi-Square test results indicated that the Autonomy category is over-represented in the 108 samples collected. With a power of 0.8 and a p-value of 0.0012, the results showed the data was significantly different. Research indicated that research for Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces predominately focused on the automation of the display for operators. Though the research for Adaptive Interfaces utilized different components of Situation Awareness and Workload Analysis, the research indicated that most research focused on applying automation such as Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning to modify the interface autonomously. Research that focused on Situation Awareness and Workload Analysis was under-represented in the 108 samples. This indicated that there were, in fact, areas of Adaptive Interface research that covered these areas; however, they were used to supplement the use of autonomy to manage how the display was changed for an operator. In the review of the 108 samples, the use of automation was evident in most research focusing on SA and Workload. Results supported the research by indicating that within the 108 samples, there was a predominant category in the research. Chi-Square Test on the Sub-Categories The second Chi-Square test results indicated that the categories of Measurements of Operator Situation Awareness and Automation were over-represented. Despite the main categories indicating that autonomy was the primary research for Adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces, all research utilized many functions of Workload Analysis, Situation Awareness, and Automation. This supported the first Chi-Square results by indicating that although Autonomy was the over-represented category in the 108 samples, the samples’ researched utilized functions from all three categories. Chi-Square Test on the Definition Categories The results of the third Chi-Square goodness of fit test indicated that two main titles were overly represented in the data. Adaptive Human-Machine Interface and Adaptive Automation were overly represented in the 108 data samples. As shown in Table A5, the categories were the most prominent titles or terms used to describe the Adaptive Interface for the research. Of the five title categories, only one of the categories did not use the term “Adaptive.” The results indicated there are multiple titles for the different categories and sub-categories of research. Recommendations The results of this research indicate that future research into Adaptive Interfaces should follow the category of Autonomy. The research of Adaptive Interfaces should indicate how they are utilizing or supporting the autonomous nature or operations of an adaptive system. Using this same category for the research, future research can use the same terminology so that Human Factors engineers will use a shared understanding of Adaptive Interfaces. The results from this research show that research for Adaptive Interfaces covers multiple sub-categories, despite a common theme of an adaptive interface. Future research should consider relating how their research will aid or directly impact an adaptive interface’s automation. By using this type of anchor, engineers will have a baseline to base their research on. The title of future work should consider the terminology of “Adaptive Human-Machine Interface.” The last test results indicate that there is no single term used to describe this type of interface. Uniting all future research under a single common term will enable future engineers to understand how their research will relate to others. A common term will also show future researchers of this topic where to look. This creates a single location or repository by uniting all research under a single definition.
