Intelligent Automation Approach for Improving Pilot Situational Awareness
نویسنده
چکیده
Automation in the aviation domain has been increasing for the past two decades. Pilot reaction to automation varies from highly favorable to highly critical depending on both the pilot’s background and how effectively the automation is implemented. We describe a user-centered approach for automation that considers the pilot’s tasks and his needs related to accomplishing those tasks. Further, we augment rather than replace how the pilot currently fulfills his goals, relying on redundant displays that offer the pilot an opportunity to build trust in the automation. Our prototype system automates the interpretation of hydraulic system faults of the UH-60 helicopter. We describe the problem with the current system and our methodology for resolving it.

Context-Aware Intelligent Assistant Approach to Improving Pilot’s Situational Awareness
Faulty decision making due to inaccurate or incomplete awareness of the situation tends to be the prevailing cause of fatal general aviation accidents. Of these accidents, loss of weather situational awareness accounts for the largest number of fatalities. We describe a method for improving weather situational awareness through the support of a contextaware, domain and task knowledgeable, perso...
متن کاملUser Interface Validation using Mode Confusion Detection
Due to the rapid advancements in the digital avionics systems, the aircraft operation is getting more automated. However, this does not completely exclude the operations carried out by the pilot via interaction with the automation through the User Interface (UI) (or more commonly known as flight deck instruments). At times, this interaction raises situational awareness issues to the pilot about...
