N2 - Computer interfaces for most in-mine applications are tailored to specific uses or mine sites; as well, they generally target expert users, such as control room operators and engineers. This may lead to relatively infrequent updating in software and decreased flexibility in hardware. Additionally, this approach can lead to confusion between mines, miners, companies, regulatory agencies, and vendor support, especially if there is an emergency. Current practice and application of interfaces for atmospheric monitoring in underground coal mining are surveyed, and a detailed human factors assessment of input processes and cognition are taken into account to determine best practices for an effective interface and design practices. Design is determined by specifically targeting atmospheric data and the processing and communicating of these data to the underground miner and front line supervisor.
