- Alertness
- Aviation research on how alertness degrades when a human monitors an automated system transfers without modification to driver-monitor design in semi-autonomous vehicles, where the human's standing readiness to take over is exactly the alertness parameter.
This sourceEstablishes situation awareness with perception as its first level; supports degraded situational awareness as a causal factor and the human-monitoring-automation (out-of-the-loop) problem transferring to driver-monitor design.

- Monitoring
- Understanding this gap prevents over-confidence in detection systems that cannot feed into timely action, a point Endsley (1995) emphasizes in her three-level model of situation awareness: perception of signals, comprehension of meaning, and projection of future state must all align with response capability.
This sourceThree-level model of situation awareness (perception, comprehension, projection); foundational for human-factors analysis of the gap between detection latency and operator response capability in monitoring tasks.

- Situation Awareness
- The three-level decomposition — perception, comprehension, projection — names what they are: Level 1 is the noticing of relevant elements in the current state (what is happening); Level 2 is the comprehension of their significance in context (what it means); Level 3 is the projection of their near-future trajectory (what will happen next).

Mechanisms¶
- Sentinel Dashboard
- Situational awareness is not the same as having data on screen; it is perceiving, understanding, and projecting what the data means
This sourceDefines situation awareness as perception of relevant elements, comprehension of their meaning, and projection of future status—not merely access to data.
