N2 - Several human-centered remote control systems for cranes that track the operator’s position were developed and evaluated. Current HMI solutions are hard to master as they are not in accordance with the users’ mental models. A series of two empirical studies investigated the potential, first in an online questionnaire, and second using a crane operated by expert users as well as novices. Usability in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction was the central dependent variable. Results show potential for the newly developed solutions, mainly in terms of satisfaction. Effectiveness and efficiency were on the same level with the newly developed systems as with the conventional control system. Despite no clear indication that performance in terms of effectiveness and efficiency increased, the advantages in applicability of the new control systems as well as participant preference suggest that further development of user-centered teleoperation controls is worthwhile. The results provide insight into human remote control operation, general perspectives toward human orientation changes, and a fundament for future development of teleoperation interfaces.
