HPI - Goal 2 To identify, develop, and/or foster the development of appropriate measurement concepts and instruments to quantitatively characterize human systems (e.g., performance capacities) and tasks (i.e., demands) to obtain numerical parameters for use in models described in Goal 1. |
 |
At present, progress toward
Goal 2 includes both that which occurs within HPI as well as that
which is driven by activities of Human Performance Measurement,
Inc. (HPM). HPM reduces HPI-developed prototypes to manufactured
versions and makes these versions commercially available. HPM
also works closely with HPI on specific R&D projects. Most
recently, HPI and HPM have collaborated on two Texas Advanced
Technology Program grants that were funded by the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board and one USAF Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) contract.
Five major categories in which development of measurement tools occurs are illustrated below. As indicated, there are some relationships and overlap between areas. New base technology drives new possibilities in each of these areas and exciting developments in sensors, wireless, and computing domains are rapidly changing the concept of what is "feasible". Progress in each of these categories is briefly summarized on separate pages within the site. Clock on th appropriate box below. (some of these links are under development).
