Evaluation Method And Application Research Of Human Machine Interface Design For Rotary Drilling Rig Incorporating Eye Movement Data

Human Machine Interface(HMI)is the main carriage to operate construction machinery,and it plays an essential role in improving the efficiency and satisfaction of operators.It is the research problem of this thesis to scientifically construct and apply the evaluation method of HMI design for construction machinery.The key to solve this problem lies in the comprehensive consideration of "human-machine-environment" elements and their interactive relationship,and the establishment of HMI evaluation system.At present,usability is the core dimension of HMI design,and both subjective and objective evaluation are the main approaches for HMI design evaluation.Given that eye-movement data can objectively reflect human performance in the process of human-machine interaction,in this thesis,we will take rotary drilling rig as an example and carry out research on the evaluation method and application of HMI design of construction machinery integrating eye-tracking technology,with the following detailed work:(1)Research on related theories: the theoretical knowledge such as man-machine-environment system engineering theory,information processing theory,cognitive load theory and related evaluation models are sorted out.The development of eye-tracking technology,eye-tracking devices and basic eye-movement patterns are introduced.The eye-movement indicators and the experimental methods applicable to the assessment of human-machine interface of engineering machinery are summarized.(2)Research on evaluation methods: Firstly,combining the characteristics of construction machinery human-machine interface,the HMI evaluation dimensions applicable to construction machinery are sorted out from the existing human-machine interaction model and user experience model evaluation methods.Then,the evaluation factors of HMI design of rotary drilling rig are analyzed from three aspects of "human,machine and environment",taking into account the working conditions of the rotary drilling rig.Finally,based on the GSM model,the mapping relationship between eye-movement indicators and evaluation dimensions was constructed,and the overall evaluation framework of rotary drilling rig HMI integrating eye-movement data was determined,as well as the corresponding subjective and objective evaluation methods.(3)Evaluation of typical interfaces: First,the HMI of two existing rotary drilling rigs,XR360 E and XR700 E,were evaluated and tested,and it was found that the XR700 E rig outperformed the XR360 E rig in terms of both traditional performance indicators and eye-movement indicators.Then,several usability issues in the existing interface design were summarized through intensive analysis of operators’ workflow while using rotary drilling rigs,eye-movement data,and questionnaire interviews for both types of rigs.Finally,the design principles applicable to the HMI of rotary drilling rigs are summarized,and improvement suggestions are made accordingly.(4)Optimized design of the interface: Based on the above design principles and improvement suggestions,the optimized design of the HMI of rotary drilling rigs is output.Through this research,it can be concluded that the subjective and objective evaluation method incorporating eye-movement data can effectively evaluate the interface design and,based on the evaluation results,improve the operating performance and usage experience of construction machinery.The research results of this thesis provide a reference for the future application of physiological indicator observation techniques for HMI evaluation of construction machinery.There are 60 figures,21 tables and 195 references in the thesis.
