The out-of-the-loop performance problem (OOL or OOTL[1]) arises when an operator suffers from performance decrement as a consequence of automation.[2][3] The potential loss of skills and of situation awareness caused by vigilance and complacency problems might make operators of automated systems inable to operate manually of case of system failure. Highly automated systems reduce the operator to monitoring role, which deminishes the chances for the operator to understand the system.[4] It is related to mind wandering.[4]
Etymology
One of the first mentions of OOL came up in the context of aviation automation in 1980s.[5]
Consequences
Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and USAir Flight 5050 crash are attributed to OOL.[6]
Automatic train operation
Automatic train operation is meant to reduce manual operation. This results in OOL performance problem for train drivers.[7]
