This report reviews 37 accidents in aviation, other vehicles, process control and other complex systems where human-automation interaction is involved. Implications about causality with respect to design, procedures, management and training are drawn. A number of caveats and recommendations from the salient literature are discussed with respect to human-automation interaction.

This is the final report of a project to review JPDO documents as they pertain to human-automation interaction, review past system failures in aviation and other contexts involving human-automation interaction, conduct a workshop of JPDO, NASA and academic experts in the area, perform analyses of selected problems, and make recommendations for NASA research needed to support JPDO on these aspects of NGATS. This report first reviews reports issued separately on the failures review and the workshop findings as well as several papers and technical notes. Recommendations for needed research in human-automation interaction are then detailed.

This report summarizes the results of an evaluation of vehicular technology alternatives to detect driver blood alcohol concentration and alcohol-impaired driving. Taking an international perspective, this report references relevant literature, incorporates input from stakeholders, and includes a concept of operations to describe how to implement technology-based countermeasures that addresses concerns such as privacy, public acceptance, and legal issues.
