Statement:
Consider a fully automatic Car
System, which is used by the user in order to perform different tasks related
to car usage. Let’s take some part of this system for our assignment in which
driver uses only three modules i.e. “open the appropriate door”, “start the
car” “switch off car” and finally “close the door”.
For a moment,
let’s suppose there is a naïve user of this fully automated car system, who
wants to go through this whole process. He has a remote control in his hand.
Remote control consists of control panel. Every button in control panel has
some specific functionality, where numbers of buttons are displayed labeled; “1”, “2”, “3” , “4” along with “Door Open” & “Door close”,
“Switch on” & Switch off” etc. In another panel guidelines are given
about how to handle the Car.
Before going through all discussed stages of
this system, he focuses on the remote control buttons and press “1” then presses another button, “Door open”, he finds that the driving
seat door has opened up. He sits there and press “Door Close” button. Then, he again thinks for a moment and press “Switch on” button to start the car. He
finds that car in now in active state (started). He drives the car and after
some time reaches at desired location. Finally he presses “Switch off” button to deactivate (switch off) the car. He again
opens up respective door by following the same process as discussed above and
comes out of the car.
Question:
Map the human processor model and all its parts (Components) that come
into play, on above scenario.
Note: Before attempting
the assignment, go through the Human processor model and all its parts.
