Humans monitor the computer That was the beginning of disaster

　　Researchers said that as more and more computers participate in modern passenger aircraft in flight, require human pilots to monitor these computers could be a disaster.

　　Their 2013 Asiana Airlines flight crashed in the San Francisco event to explain their conclusion, they said, investigators looking into the cause of the accident to find plane in automatic mode, one close to a dangerous decline in low-speed, but the pilots in the cockpit did not perceive this, cannot prevent the occurrence of accidents.

　　Today, in the modern cockpit of the airliner's computer screen is capable of displaying a large number of automation-related information, such as speed, altitude, and the aircraft's current position, and so on. In that case, pilots of the Asiana flight why not detected dangerous?

　　In a recent study, researchers said, pilot missing information is very likely to occur. They say that humans are naturally not good at observing how computers work, which makes the monitoring task itself is a prescription for failure.

　　So, why such a fault occurs after high intensity training and experienced airline pilots who? from United States NASA research psychologists and from the University of California, Santa Barbara's brain and psychological Sciences Professor has studied. Study results showed that hard work, distraction, and daydreams will lead to actual failure of the monitoring task.

　　Researchers organized 16 commercial jet pilots in a flight control experiment. Previous research has shown that computer is a very tiring process, just sit there motionless staring at a screen can lead to inattention. Now, researchers have found, is also true in the simulated cockpit.

　　Jonathan Schooler of the University of California, Santa Barbara, said: "our study does show that vigilance for human beings is a very difficult task. Long-term continuous monitoring can make people physically and emotionally exhausting. "One possible solution is to break the monotony of the long, such as talking to ground control center, but the researchers found that this interrupt may also lead to distraction.

　　In addition, they also said that humans have nothing to do usually spontaneously out of this is a normal phenomenon. Therefore, the researchers suggest, the best computer monitoring tasks to other computers.

　　From the United States NASA researcher Steve Casner said: "monitoring computer systems the task, even if there is nothing we try to do. You can try to focus your attention, you can also try a short break, but sooner or later you will miss some important information. " Michael Kors iPad Case

　　He therefore suggested that, using robots to do the job would be more suitable. Steve Casner, added: "it is time to rethink our ways to design these systems, allow humans to do what they are good at, and let the computer handle the daily chores. "
