Abstract

Monitoring work performance declined has became security monitoring need solution of important problem, to prevent security monitoring personnel of monitoring performance declined, this research in simulation monitoring task based on Machworth’s Clock Test and subjective evaluation of workload, arousal, fatigue and attention. The results show Monitoring work performance declined with the time series on. Hit ratios relate to reaction time, arousal, fatigue and attention, also task load and psycho-load. It is discussed to moderate the attention by controlling the workload, fatigue, and arousal level to enhance monitoring performances.
