Abstract

The application of appropriate strategies is the key in fault diagnosis. Most studies on fault diagnosis have paid attention to complexity simplification, and various approaches have been studied to assist humans in overcoming difficulties. Interface design and training are two main directions to improving human performance in fault diagnosis. A number of visual aiding tools have been designed to decrease the effect of perceptual complexity. With a set of topographic search tasks, this study evaluates the efficacy of two typical strategies, linear tracing strategy and structure decomposing strategy, on different levels of task difficulty.
