“…how tactile notifications can alert human operators of impeding hazards (Lewis et al, 2014;Russell et al, 2016), especially when other sensory channels of information (e.g., visual stream) are saturated (Elliott et al, 2011). However, there are potential limits to the effectiveness of these types of notifications and stimulation (Murphy and Dalton, 2016;Riggs and Sarter, 2019).…”

The assessment and prediction of cognitive performance is a key issue for any discipline concerned with human operators in the context of safety-critical behavior. Most of the research has focused on the measurement of mental workload but this construct remains difficult to operationalize despite decades of research on the topic. Recent advances in Neuroergonomics have expanded our understanding of neurocognitive processes across different operational domains. We provide a framework to disentangle those neural mechanisms that underpin the relationship between task demand, arousal, mental workload and human performance. This approach advocates targeting those specific mental states that precede a reduction of performance efficacy. A number of undesirable neurocognitive states (mind wandering, effort withdrawal, perseveration, inattentional phenomena) are identified and mapped within a twodimensional conceptual space encompassing task engagement and arousal. We argue that monitoring the prefrontal cortex and its deactivation can index a generic shift from a nominal operational state to an impaired one where performance is likely to degrade. Neurophysiological, physiological and behavioral markers that specifically account for these states are identified. We then propose a typology of neuroadaptive countermeasures to mitigate these undesirable mental states.

“…In general, haptic belts [19,40,54] outperform early haptic vests that generated straight-lined patterns [28,49], as tactile belts allow for 360 degrees of location feedback. Recent vest improvements support relative point vibrations on the back of the user (e.g., left, forward, right) during navigation [13,17,18], allowing for more sophisticated navigation. We have experimented with both belts and vests in our work with motorcycles, and discovered that the hips and waist receive a significant amount of vibrational noise from the motorcycle.…”

A national study by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau revealed that motorcyclist deaths were nearly thirty times more prevalent than that of drivers of other vehicles. These fatalities represent approximately 5% of all highway deaths each year, yet motorcycles account for only 2% of all registered vehicles in the United States. Motorcyclists are highly exposed on the road, so maintaining situational awareness at all times is crucial. Route guidance systems enable users to efficiently navigate between locations using dynamic visual maps and audio directions, and have been well tested with motorists, but remain unsafe for use by motorcyclists. Audio/visual routing systems decrease motorcyclists' situational awareness and vehicle control, and thus elevate chances of an accident. To enable motorcyclists to take advantage of route guidance while maintaining situational awareness, we created HaptiMoto, a wearable haptic route guidance system. HaptiMoto uses tactile signals to encode the distance and direction of approaching turns, thus avoiding interference with audio/visual awareness. Our evaluations demonstrate that HaptiMoto is both intuitive and a safer alternative for motorcyclists compared to existing solutions.

“…Apart from teleoperations, where the kinesthetic part of haptics plays the major role, supermedia applications through the Internet can be applied to many other fields. Recent studies have shown that supermedia applications could be applied to military operations [29], education [30], telesurgery [31], video games [32], and video enhancement [33]. Furthermore, a motion-copying system (MCS) [34] can be useful for the digital preservation of motions by skilled experts as a haptic database.…”

Supermedia streams transfer video, audio, haptic and other sensory data. Real -time transfering of supermedia streams over the Internet is quite challenging. This paper outlines the proposed protocols for transferring supermedia streams over the Internet. Moreover, it describes the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for supermedia applications that a network has to fulfill. Extensive simulations and experiments for the performance evaluation of transport protocols for real time transferring HEVC streams with supermedia data are carried out. Complements, differences and relevancies between simulation and real world experiments are discussed. The metrics that are measured for the performance evaluation are delay, jitter, throughput, efficiency, packet loss and one proposed by the authors, packet arrival deviation. The simulation tests reveal which protocols could be used for the transfer of real-time supermedia data with a HEVC video stream.
