Abstract:
This paper presents the study of control and management of technological
processes in coal mines through means for displaying information. Information
flow in the analysed closed systems consists of production process in an
Underground Coal Mine (UCM), Computer System (CS), Display Units (DUs),
Operators (Os) and control devices. The mathematical model is applied for
describing information filtering, where corresponding filtering coefficients
define information flows. The framework for the O-computer dialogue presents
the basic principles of the dialogue between the O and means for displaying
information. It defines the amount of information displayed, dialogue
characteristics, dialogue processes and the mathematical model that describes
information flow.
Keywords: Control centre, control panel, information filtering, O-computer dialogue, ergonomic design.
