The Transportation Research Group (TRG) is looking for people to take part in a study to determine the effectiveness of new User Interfaces (UIs) for submarine control rooms.
Participants will be invited to a state-of-the-art submarine simulator on Highfield Campus to complete a number of tasks, representative of those completed by submariners.
You will be required to attend the facility for two consecutive days. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day and participants will be given £35 per day for participating in the study.
The study, “An investigation into the impact of future interfaces for submarine control room operations on individual and team performance“, is expected to run from 14 February 2022 to 1 April 2022 and has received ethical approval from the University of Southampton Research Ethics Committee (Protocol No: 10099.A3) and MODREC (Protocol No: 2056/MODREC/21). Due to security requirements, participants are required to be a national of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or the Commonwealth. Additionally, participants must have normal or corrected to normal vision.
If you would like to take part, please email a member of the research team:
- Mr Daniel Fay (Senior Computing and Software Technician; [email protected])
- Mr Roman Bolton (Senior Research Technician; [email protected])
- Ms Alex Smith (Computing and Software Technician; [email protected])
- Ms Sophie Hallam (Research Technician; [email protected])
The TRG is one of the UK’s longest established and leading centres for engineering-related transport teaching and research.
Established at our University in 1967, the TRG contributes to the generation of knowledge and technologies that have an economic and social benefit to the world, through strategic relationships with industries that operate at both a national and international level to shape future innovations.
Your participation in the current work will provide an invaluable contribution to optimising military teams of the future.
