| Abstract |
A conceptual model for the prediction of mental workload in system design is proposed. In this model, workload is represented by a set of system parameters (task arrival rate, task complexity, task uncertainty and performance requirements) which are considered to be the main sources of workload. Whether an individual or population is overloaded depends on their workload threshold with respect to the specified task and environment. It is hoped that this model, after laboratory and industrial validation, may be used by system engineers to predict the workload imposed on people by systems. |
