Abstract: In the main control room of a nuclear power plant, the number of pages on the operator’s console increases to hundreds due to complicated structure and monitoring task requirements. Therefore, the human-machine interface system usually provides a transition mechanism for accessing a specific page to display. A transition mechanism has been investigated that uses on-screen “transit buttons” to dynamically link to pages corresponding to the next step in the operation. This enables an operator to bring up and view appropriate monitoring pages more rapidly.
