Book Aircraft Alerting Systems Criteria Study  Volume 1  Collation and Analysis of Aircraft Alerting Systems Data

Download or read book Aircraft Alerting Systems Criteria Study Volume 1 Collation and Analysis of Aircraft Alerting Systems Data written by J. E. Veitengruber and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several recent studies, performed to develop optimum alerting methods for new alerts that had to be retrofitted to existing aircraft, identified as major alerting system problems the proliferation of alerting systems and the inconsistent application of alerting concepts in current commercial transport aircraft. The objective of this study was to address these problem areas in the following manner: refine and augment the stimuli response data collected under the previous studies, provide test plans for additional stimuli response tests required to complete the stimuli response data base, provide tabulations of the alerting methods and alerting requirements used on current commercial transport aircraft, develop a method for prioritizing alerting functions and prioritizing the alerting functions accordingly, note conflicts between current alerting requirements and the prioritized lists of alerts, and provide recommendations for standardization of alerting functions/methods. The output includes a collation of human factors data pertinent to alerting systems, cursory test plans for obtaining missing human factors data required to complete definition of and validate the standards recommended for alerting systems, criteria for alert priority levels, an example tabulation of alerts that might fall within each priority level, and recommended methods of annunciating the alerts within each priority level.

Book Aircraft Alerting Systems Criteria Study  Volume II  Human Factors Guidelines for Aircraft Alerting Systems

Download or read book Aircraft Alerting Systems Criteria Study Volume II Human Factors Guidelines for Aircraft Alerting Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human factors literature that describes pilot response characteristics when confronted with aircraft warning, caution, and advisory signals was reviewed. The review covered visual, aural (sounds and voice), tactile, and bimodal alerts. Data obtained therefrom were categorized into (1) non-aircraft-related test results, (2) aircraft-related test results, and (3) military standards/design guidelines so as to establish the applicability of the data and to identify technical areas in which more human factors data relevant to aircraft-alerting systems may be required. Summaries of the literature for (1) factors that affect signal detection, and (2) factors that affect time from detection to response are provided. The results of the review were used to establish preliminary design guidelines for alerting systems in future commercial transport aircraft. (Author).

Book Automation and Human Performance

Download or read book Automation and Human Performance written by Raja Parasuraman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is perhaps no facet of modern society where the influence of computer automation has not been felt. Flight management systems for pilots, diagnostic and surgical aids for physicians, navigational displays for drivers, and decision-aiding systems for air-traffic controllers, represent only a few of the numerous domains in which powerful new automation technologies have been introduced. The benefits that have been reaped from this technological revolution have been many. At the same time, automation has not always worked as planned by designers, and many problems have arisen--from minor inefficiencies of operation to large-scale, catastrophic accidents. Understanding how humans interact with automation is vital for the successful design of new automated systems that are both safe and efficient. The influence of automation technology on human performance has often been investigated in a fragmentary, isolated manner, with investigators conducting disconnected studies in different domains. There has been little contact between these endeavors, although principles gleaned from one domain may have implications for another. Also, with a few exceptions, the research has tended to be empirical and only theory-driven. In recent years, however, various groups of investigators have begun to examine human performance in automated systems in general and to develop theories of human interaction with automation technology. This book presents the current theories and assesses the impact of automation on different aspects of human performance. Both basic and applied research is presented to highlight the general principles of human-computer interaction in several domains where automation technologies are widely implemented. The major premise is that a broad-based, theory-driven approach will have significant implications for the effective design of both current and future automation technologies. This volume will be of considerable value to researchers in human

Book Aircraft Alerting Systems Standardization Study  Volume I  Candidate System Validation and Time Critical Display Evaluation

Download or read book Aircraft Alerting Systems Standardization Study Volume I Candidate System Validation and Time Critical Display Evaluation written by G. P. Boucek and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of a series of documented studies directed to the improvement and standardization of aircraft alerting systems. The purpose of the study was to develop and validate, through simulation, functional design criteria that can be used in designing effective aircraft alerting systems. The major objectives of this phase study were to: resolve system component questions; validate the two candidate system concepts by comparison to a representative baseline system, for both the pilot and flight engineer stations; evaluate presentation media and display formats for time-critical warnings; develop guidelines for the design of alerting systems. The system component questions were resolved in a series of experiments and the results were integrated into two system concepts for validation. In the validation tests, line-qualified pilots exercised the three alerting systems in a full-mission, fixed-base simulator. In all areas of measurement pilot performance was as good or better with the two candidate system designs than with the conventional, baseline system. The results indicate that a flight engineer station should contain the visual display components offered by the candidate system concepts. Voice was the recommended medium of presentation when rapid response is required. The time-critical display tests showed that fastest pilot response performance was obtained when graphic guidance alerts were placed in the pilot's primary field of view. The functional design criteria that were developed are contained in 'Aircraft Alerting System Design Guidelines, ' Report Number DOT/FAA/RD-81/38/11. (Author).

Book Flight Phase Status Monitor Study

Download or read book Flight Phase Status Monitor Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers Phase II of a study conducted for the FAA to develop flight status monitor (FSM) concepts. Previous studies of crew alerting systems suggested the concept of a system which could monitor a flight, alert the crew to non-normal operation and system conditions, guide the crew through the appropriate response procedures and provide feedback to the crew concerning their actions. Major Phase II activities include: (1) Using the results of Phase I to refine the FSM system specifications. (2) Finalizing the implementations of the FSM simulator hardware and software. (3) Conducting evaluations of the system with experienced transport pilots. (4) Drawing conclusions and working recommendations concerning an FSM system by using the data developed in the evaluation and identifying issues which need further investigation.
