why do we need to study humans in the aerospace domain?

>70 % of all accidents is attributed to human error

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

response options

• Fire the pilot• Improve training• Better maintenance, improve reliability• Adapt procedures• Add automation/warning systems (TCAS, EGPWS)• Improve the interface

why do we need to study humans in the aerospace domain?

…changing roles of humans

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

the evolving cockpit

our approach: design systems in which cognition is a joint process

Yes, all information is presented to the pilot. But, in doing so, all cognition needs to be done by the human

High workloadHigh workload, low performance

Yes, most tasks are automated. But, in doing so, only a small part of the cognition needs to be done by the human

Low workload, low situation low situation awarenessawareness

levels in interface design

• illumination, readability, colors, symbols

• integrated displays, configural displays, emergent features, principle of moving part

• ...so, what’s next?

?

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

the flight deck is . . .

• an “OPEN” system (Vicente)• extensive + complex

interaction with the environment

• “the airborne office”

. . . a workplace for cognitive (team)work

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

the challenge of automation

Apologies to Edwards’ SHELL

. . . is there a display format that helps pilots with their (cognitive) tasks?

ecological interface design

Basic idea: “make visible the invisible ”

Work Domain Analysis

Use technology to create an interface that provides meaningful information and that allows humans to directly act on the information to achieve their goal

Transfer a cognitive process into a perceptual process

Interface design

work domain analysis• Consider the path taken by

an ant on the beach. It looks irregular, the ant must be a complex organism to remember & follow this path

• If one instead studies the beach, the path seems obvious. The ant creates that path as it feels, sees and smells the beach

• We did not evolve to feel, see and smell process plants and airplanes. We should analyse “the beach” and create an appropriate representation

typical engineering approaches

Calculation CPA

(CPA < look-ahead time) & (CPA dist < 5 NM) = conflict

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

interface: visualise the CPA

• Conflict location moves when maneuvering

• Affordance ‘hit’ is clear, affordance ‘avoidance’ is not

• Only heading, no speed

• Conflicts triggered by manoeuvres

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

predictive ASAS

• Conflict location moves when maneuvering

• Affordance ‘hit’ is clear, affordance ‘avoidance’ is not

• Conflicts triggered by maneuvers

Engineer’s answer : p-ASAS (predictive ASAS)

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

predictive ASAS (2)

• “no-go” bands for• track/heading• vertical speed

and speed

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

p-ASAS issues

• yes, we can see how to avoid aircraft,• but we cannot see how to do it efficiently, and• the computer-aided solution can be within a no-go

heading or speed zone....• so how can we check that the computer is right??• no-go bands for multiple aircraft??

Over to EID/Cognitive Systems Engineering

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

let’s take another look at a conflict situation

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP: airborne trajectory planningassume we have two aircraft

own

intruder

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....set intruder aircraft to stand still

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP...then we should also change the speed of own...

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP...add the protected zone...

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....create Forbidden Beam Zone....in relative space

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....calculate relative speed....here: we’re safe

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....move FBZ with intruder speed....to obtain own a/c

“speed/heading space”

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....add own a/c maximum speed

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....add own a/c minimum speed

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....add maximum heading changes for productivity

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

ATP....the result is the state vector envelope for 2D motion

. . . is there a display format that helps pilots with their (cognitive) tasks?

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

closing statements

The goal of EID is to transform a cognitive task into a perceptual task by providing meaningful information that humans can directly perceive and act on accordingly.

“make visible the invisible”

Distribute the cognition between humans and the automated systems through the interface. Strive for a joint cognitive system.

EUROCONTROL scientific seminar January 21, 2011

our approach to interface design

...usually starts out with a lot of engineering calculations, modelling and describing the system

...we have learned that picking the right representation (state variables) is crucial to the success of the interface design

...we are no rocket scientists, so we go through lots of iterations!!
