Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Diagnosis of fault location using polygon displays

Notes: Sumario: When polygon displays are used to represent multiple sources of information, sometimes they can be processed in parallel so that the significant information can be taken in 'at a glance'. The present study required abnormal vertices to be identified, and it was found that reaction times (RTs) increased as a function of the total number of vertices. In addition, RTs were longer when the variability of the displayed information was greater, that is, when the polygon was more irregular. It was concluded that the polygon display may have more potential as a global warning indicator than as a means of displaying individual parameter values, which must be assessed separatelyRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 39, nº 3, March 1996 ; p. 400-411Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Aviones Sistemas de información Diseño de sistemas Pantallas de visualización de datos Tiempo de reacción Pruebas visuales Otros autores: MacRae, A.N.
