Description

NA The Army Research Laboratory, Human Research and Engineering Directorate (ARL-HRED) intends to negotiate with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) for Statement of Work, Title: Development of a Subjective Workload Assess ment Tool for Situations Requiring Physical and Mental Demands. This effort maintains continuity of the Industrial Graduate Internship Program in Human Factors Engineering for ARL-HRED. The objective of this specific effort is to determine the interactiv e effects of physical and mental workload on subjective workload assessment and to examine the impact of critical dimensions of physical workload on mental workload assessment. Several common existing tools will be used to assess physical and mental workl oads separately under situations of combined workload. The research includes extreme conditions and a variety of environments experienced in military tasks. The results will be used to develop a subjective workload assessment tool that can determine over all workload levels when both physical and mental demands exist. An ARL Technical Report will document the findings of the research. Negotiations are planned solely with Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech has a unique capability and expertise with the experien ces of its faculty and staff in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department (ISE). Since the establishment of the ISE's Human Factors Engineering Center in 1985, Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and graduate students have conducted numerous human fact ors experiments encompassing a broad range of issues. The Industrial Ergonomics Laboratory (IEL) is a unique facility for the conduct of experiments on complex human-system interaction, biomechanics, and physical workload. The IEL, along with the technic al expertise of the IEL personnel, places Virginia Tech in a unique position to support this requirement. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability. Capabilities statement referencing W813LT 2002-7014 must be faxed to Jeanine Worthing ton, 410-278-6522. Telephone requests will not be honored. NOTE 22
