Abstract:
Future airspace is expected to become more congested with additional in-service cargo and commercial flights. Pilots will face additional burdens in such an environment, given the increasing number of factors that they must simultaneously consider while completing their work activities. Therefore, care and attention must be paid to the mental workload (MWL) experienced by operating pilots. If left unaddressed, a state of mental overload could affect the pilot\'s ability to complete his or her work activities in a safe and correct manner. This study examines the impact of two different cockpit display interfaces (CDIs), the Steam Gauge panel and the G1000 Glass panel, on novice pilots\' MWL and situational awareness (SA) in a flight simulator-based setting. A combination of objective (EEG and HRV) and subjective (NASA-TLX) assessments is used to assess novice pilots\' cognitive states during this study. Our results indicate that the gauge design of the CDI affects novice pilots\' SA and MWL, with the G1000 Glass panel being more effective in reducing the MWL and improving SA compared with the Steam Gauge panel. The results of this study have implications for the design of future flight deck interfaces and the training of future pilots.
摘要:
未来的空域预计将变得更加拥挤,额外的服务货运和商业航班。在这样的环境下,飞行员将面临额外的负担,鉴于他们在完成工作活动时必须同时考虑的因素越来越多。因此,必须注意和注意操作飞行员所经历的心理工作量(MWL)。如果没有地址,精神超负荷状态可能会影响飞行员以安全和正确的方式完成其工作活动的能力。本研究检查了两种不同的驾驶舱显示接口(CDI)的影响,蒸汽量规面板和G1000玻璃面板,在基于飞行模拟器的环境中,新手飞行员的MWL和态势感知(SA)。在这项研究中,使用客观(EEG和HRV)和主观(NASA-TLX)评估的组合来评估新手飞行员的认知状态。我们的结果表明,CDI的量规设计会影响新手飞行员的SA和MWL,与G1000玻璃面板更有效地降低MWL和改善SA相比,蒸汽量规面板。这项研究的结果对未来飞行甲板接口的设计和未来飞行员的培训具有重要意义。
