Abstract
In this paper we will discuss a methodology developed and applied in the European ITERATE project with the objective of designing experiments that will provide data to seed the ITERATE theoretical model of operator behaviour in different surface transport modes: road vehicles, rail transport and ships. A structured approach was taken involving seven steps: (1) Selection of operator support systems to be studied; (2) formulation of hypotheses on the effects of the operator parameters from the model on the interaction with the systems; (3) final system selection; (4) operationalisation of operator parameters and identification of ways to measure them; (5) development of scenarios; (6) development of experimental set-ups; and (7) specification of simulators and experiments.
