Blue eyes technology
Human error is still one of the most frequent causes of
catastrophes and ecological disasters. The main reason is that the monitoring
systems concern only the state of the processes whereas human contribution to
the overall performance of the system is left unsupervised. Since the control
instruments are automated to a large extent, a human – operator becomes a
passive observer of the supervised system, which results in weariness and
vigilance drop.
This, he may not notice important changes of indications
causing financial or ecological consequences and a threat to human life. It
therefore is crucial to assure that the operator’s conscious brain is involved
in an active system supervising over the whole work time period.
It is possible to measure indirectly the level of the
operator’s conscious brain involvement using eye motility analysis. Although
there are capable sensors available on the market, a complex solution enabling
transformation, analysis and reasoning based on measured signals still does not
exist.
In large control rooms, wiring the operator to the central system is a
serious limitation of his mobility and disables his operation. Utilization of
wireless technology becomes essential. Blue Eyes is intended to be the complex
solution for monitoring and recording the operator’s conscious brain
involvement as well as his Physiological condition.
This required designing a
Personal Area Network linking all the Operators and the supervising system. As
the operator using his sight and hearing senses the state of the controlled
system, the supervising system will look after his physiological condition.
