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?

the flight deck is . . .
• an “OPEN” system (Vicente)• extensive + complex
interaction with the environment
• “the airborne office”
. . . a workplace for cognitive (team)work

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

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

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

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

. . . 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!!
