Distributed Situation Awareness explains how teams of people work together in simple and complex systems. For example, drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians have different experiences of the same junction when they come together at a road crossing. It is possible for them to compensate for each other, such as drivers slowing down to allow a pedestrian or cyclist to cross in front of them. The dynamic and fluid nature of the interaction is at the very heart of distributed situation awareness. This is conveyed in the proposed text, in terms of interactions between team members, and will resolve some of the issues surrounding the concept while validating and advancing the theory.
