Where enhanced coordination is desired between personnel, the group-view display should be used to allow each crew member to perceive a greater portion of the task environment.
Additional Information:
Horizon of observation refers to the portion of the crew task that can be seen or heard by each individual. It is largely determined by the arrangement of the work environment (e.g., proximity of team members), the openness of interaction, and the openness of tools. By making portions of a job more observable, other team members are able to monitor for errors of intent and execution, and situations in which additional assistance may be helpful. The horizon of observation may be enhanced through the implementation of group-view displays that present information about the actions of crew members. For example, group-view displays may be used to indicate each crew member's location in the display system and the status in ongoing procedures. Group-view displays may also be used to allow personnel to monitor control actions performed by others for system anomalies or operator errors.
