The lack of explainability in using relevant clinical knowledge hinders the adoption of artificial intelligence-powered analysis of unstructured clinical dialogue. A wealth of relevant, untapped Mental Health (MH) data is available in online communities, providing the opportunity to address the explainability problem with substantial potential impact as a screening tool for both online and offline applications. Inspired by how clinicians rely on their expertise when interacting with patients, we leverage relevant clinical knowledge to classify and explain depression-related data, reducing manual review time and engendering trust. We developed a method to enhance attention in contemporary transformer models and generate explanations …
Comparing Approaches To Estimating Person Parameters For The Mupp Model, David M. Lahuis, Caitlin E. Blackmore, Gage M. Ammons
Comparing Approaches To Estimating Person Parameters For The Mupp Model, David M. Lahuis, Caitlin E. Blackmore, Gage M. Ammons
Psychology Faculty Publications
This study compared maximum a posteriori (MAP), expected a posteriori (EAP), and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches to computing person scores from the Multi-Unidimensional Pairwise Preference Model. The MCMC approach used the No-U-Turn sampling (NUTS). Results suggested the EAP with fully crossed quadrature and the NUTS outperformed the others when there were fewer dimensions. In addition, the NUTS produced the most accurate estimates in larger dimension conditions. The number of items per dimension had the largest effect on person parameter recovery.
Three-Dimensionalization Mediates The Subjective Experience Of Fractal Interior Spaces, Joori Suh, William Stalker, Steen Pedersen, Assaf Harel
Three-Dimensionalization Mediates The Subjective Experience Of Fractal Interior Spaces, Joori Suh, William Stalker, Steen Pedersen, Assaf Harel
Psychology Faculty Publications
A fractal, a self-similar organic or geometric pattern that repeats at varying scales, is one of the most compelling characteristics found in nature. Previous studies on fractal patterns have demonstrated consistent trends in potential psychological benefits, such as stress reduction. However, we fall short of understanding one of the essential properties of fractals found in nature, i.e., the three-dimensionality of their appearance. In this study, we aimed at understanding the role of the three-dimensionalization of fractal patterns in spatial structures on human subjective perceptual experience. Two hundred seventy three-dimensional spatial prototype models were created for this study, spanning two dimensions: …
Balancing The Mind: The Role Of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors In Managing Anxiety, Olivia Mace
Balancing The Mind: The Role Of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors In Managing Anxiety, Olivia Mace
Best Integrated Writing
Olivia’s senior capstone review article focuses on the role of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) escitalopram in the management of anxiety. SSRIs have been successfully used to treat depression for decades, with fluoxetine (Prozac) being introduced to the US market in 1987. Recently it has been found that the SSRI escitalopram has efficacy in treating anxiety as well as depression. Olivia’s review is detailed and timely. Unmanaged anxiety and depression are common among students and this review will be of interest to students, parents and the university population in general.
Evaluating The Deductive Competence Of Large Language Models, Spencer M. Seals, Valerie L. Shalin
Evaluating The Deductive Competence Of Large Language Models, Spencer M. Seals, Valerie L. Shalin
Psychology Faculty Publications
The development of highly fluent large language models (LLMs) has prompted increased interest in assessing their reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. We investigate whether several LLMs can solve a classic type of deductive reasoning problem from the cognitive science literature. The tested LLMs have limited abilities to solve these problems in their conventional form. We performed follow up experiments to investigate if changes to the presentation format and content improve model performance. We do find performance differences between conditions; however, they do not improve overall performance. Moreover, we find that performance interacts with presentation format and content in unexpected ways that …

The digital landscape continually evolves with multimodality, enriching the online experience for users. Creators and marketers aim to weave subtle contextual cues from various modalities into congruent content to engage users with a harmonious message. This interplay of multimodal cues is often a crucial factor in attracting users' attention. However, this richness of multimodality presents a challenge to computational modeling, as the semantic contextual cues spanning across modalities need to be unified to capture the true holistic meaning of the multimodal content. This contextual meaning is critical in attracting user engagement as it conveys the intended message of the brand …
A Domain-Agnostic Neurosymbolic Approach For Big Social Data Analysis: Evaluating Mental Health Sentiment On Social Media During Covid-19, Vedant Khandelwal, Manas Gaur, Ugur Kursuncu, Valerie L. Shalin, Amit P. Sheth
A Domain-Agnostic Neurosymbolic Approach For Big Social Data Analysis: Evaluating Mental Health Sentiment On Social Media During Covid-19, Vedant Khandelwal, Manas Gaur, Ugur Kursuncu, Valerie L. Shalin, Amit P. Sheth
Psychology Faculty Publications
Monitoring public sentiment via social media is potentially helpful during health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, traditional frequency-based, data-driven neural network-based approaches can miss newly relevant content due to the evolving nature of language in a dynamically evolving environment. Human-curated symbolic knowledge sources, such as lexicons for standard language and slang terms, can potentially elevate social media signals in evolving language. We introduce a neurosymbolic method that integrates neural networks with symbolic knowledge sources, enhancing the detection and interpretation of mental health-related tweets relevant to COVID-19. Our method was evaluated using a corpus of large datasets (approximately 12 …
‘Things That You Can’T Really Suppress’: Adverse Childhood Experiences In The Narratives Of People With Opioid Use Disorder, Sydney Silverstein, Josef Rivera, Danielle Gainer, Raminta Daniulaityte
‘Things That You Can’T Really Suppress’: Adverse Childhood Experiences In The Narratives Of People With Opioid Use Disorder, Sydney Silverstein, Josef Rivera, Danielle Gainer, Raminta Daniulaityte
Psychiatry Faculty Publications
While numerous studies have established relationships between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and adult substance use, few qualitative studies have explored the differing ways in which experiences of childhood adversity are emplotted into narratives of drug use and recovery. This paper analyzes qualitative data collected as part of a mixed-methods longitudinal study of people with opioid use disorder. Narratives of adverse childhood experiences emerged unprompted. After coding qualitative data for mention of ACEs, we thematically analyzed coded data using a framework of critical phenomenology and constructed a four-part typology to differentiate the ways that ACEs were emplotted into narratives. Our …
Interview Of Pilots’ Inflight Loss Of Control Experiences, Neelakshi Majumdar, Karen Marais
Interview Of Pilots’ Inflight Loss Of Control Experiences, Neelakshi Majumdar, Karen Marais
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Inflight loss of control (LOC-I) continues to be a significant cause of General Aviation fixed-wing aircraft accidents. Nearly 20% of fixed-wing aircraft accidents in the last two decades involved LOC-I, and approximately 45% of LOC-I accidents are fatal. Previous studies suggest that the leading factors in aviation accidents are human factors-related. One approach to better understand the causes of LOC-I accidents is to analyze accidents using sources such as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) database. However, the NTSB General Aviation accident reports include limited detail on human factors, specifically pilot actions and conditions. We interviewed pilots about their LOC-I …
A Multi-Method Approach To Work Design For Crew In Future Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operations, Kayler Marshall, Penelope Sanderson, Andrew Neal
A Multi-Method Approach To Work Design For Crew In Future Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operations, Kayler Marshall, Penelope Sanderson, Andrew Neal
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Globally, most safety regulators only allow crew to operate one remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) at a time due to workload concerns. More sophisticated automation is anticipated to alleviate operator workload, allowing crew to simultaneously operate more than one RPA. However, how work should be distributed amongst crew is still unknown. We employ a complementary set of methods for work design in a future system of RPA operation: Cognitive Work Analysis, computational modelling, and human-in-the-loop experiments. In this paper we describe each method, outlining the unique insights gained and how these are applied in the evaluation of work in a future …
Exploring Informal Learning Structures In Airline Operations, Barth Baron Jr., Dorrit Billman, Randall J. Mumaw
Exploring Informal Learning Structures In Airline Operations, Barth Baron Jr., Dorrit Billman, Randall J. Mumaw
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Airline pilot training is extensive, highly structured, and driven by aircraft and airspace system operating requirements, yet pilots describe a tradition of between-pilot knowledge transfer and self-directed learning. While industry and regulators focus on “formal learning” systems, pilots report relying on this “informal learning” to build operational expertise, suggesting gaps in how successfully formal learning prepares pilots to handle operational complexities. The community that researches learning has extensively studied informal learning, including in a workplace setting, and its characteristics align with how pilots report increasing their skills and knowledge informally. However, no research into informal learning practices among airline pilots …
Resilient Strategies In Commercial Aviation, Michael Stewart, Bryan Matthews
Resilient Strategies In Commercial Aviation, Michael Stewart, Bryan Matthews
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
When we fly and nothing scary happens, is the system’s design affording this success? Not always — sometimes humans are the cause of success. This resilient performance is often overlooked. We explore two types of resilient performance strategies: countermeasures and modifications. countermeasures are behaviors triggered by variables anticipated to be challenging or problematic (i.e., pressures). To capture this, we look at examples of how a problem was avoided. For example, a country road may have a hairpin turn where accidents more frequently occur. With this pressure identified, we look at successful drivers for insights. Modifications are changes that are created …
Extracting Lessons Of Resilience Using Machine Mining Of The Asrs Database, Immanuel Barshi, Bryan Matthews, Jolene Feldman
Extracting Lessons Of Resilience Using Machine Mining Of The Asrs Database, Immanuel Barshi, Bryan Matthews, Jolene Feldman
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) database is the world's largest repository of voluntary, confidential safety information provided by aviation's frontline personnel. The database contains close to 2 million narratives, many of which describe everyday situations in which people saved the day. In these situations, people’s resilient behavior solved a problem, dealt with a malfunction, and maintained a safe operation despite a serious perturbation. To be able to extract lessons of such resilience from this large database, the use of machine learning algorithms is being explored. In this report, we describe a comparison between two such algorithms: BERT and Word2Vec. …
The Viability Of See-And-Avoid For Urban Air Mobility Operations, Richard Mogford, Walter Johnson
The Viability Of See-And-Avoid For Urban Air Mobility Operations, Richard Mogford, Walter Johnson
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is an emerging aviation concept that could supplement today’s ground and air transportation systems. For UAM, it is generally assumed that the private sector will manage separation and not rely on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control system. To date, discussions of initial operations focus on using the visual abilities of the pilot to see-and-avoid (SAA) other aircraft. Decades of research on SAA has demonstrated that it is inadequate for reliable detection of aircraft that might pose a collision risk. The literature on multi-object tracking is also reviewed for findings on how well humans …
Nasa Human Factors Red Light/Green Light Analysis: Overview And Spacshiptwo Rl/Gl Case Study, Tracy Dillinger, Isabel Hernandez
Nasa Human Factors Red Light/Green Light Analysis: Overview And Spacshiptwo Rl/Gl Case Study, Tracy Dillinger, Isabel Hernandez
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Historically, learning from accidents and incidents involves identifying errors of commission or omission and “things that go wrong” and how to reduce their recurrence. While well-intentioned, infrequent failures receive more attention than everyday successes. Human Factors analysis need not limit itself to learning from failures. Learning from “what goes right” involves identifying resilience factors associated with behaviors and processes that strengthen the system and reduce risk. This article provides an overview of how the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Human Factors Task Force (HFTF) constructed the NASAHFACS model and the Red Light/Green Light approach. Using SpaceShipTwo as a case …
Concept Of A Cognitive Agent Supporting Collaboration In Human Teams, Wolfgang Sachsenhauser, Axel Schulte
Concept Of A Cognitive Agent Supporting Collaboration In Human Teams, Wolfgang Sachsenhauser, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
This contribution aims at the support of human teamwork between crew members of next generation combat aircraft by means of a distributed and adaptive assistant system. In future combined air operations several aircraft, manned and unmanned, operate together to achieve a common mission objective. That requires a high degree of coordination amongst the pilots, each of them being highly charged with e.g., managing unmanned vehicles from their cockpits. Our approach is to develop a distributed assistant system that observes each pilot in their cockpits. By use of a task model, it shall create and update a shared representation of the …
Concept Of An Automated Activity Determination In The Temporal Domain For Adaptive Pilot Assistance, Karl Tschurtschenthaler, Axel Schulte
Concept Of An Automated Activity Determination In The Temporal Domain For Adaptive Pilot Assistance, Karl Tschurtschenthaler, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In this contribution, we describe our initial conceptual thoughts on how to determine pilot activity in real-time within a multitasking environment. The presented concept extends our previous research on determining the pilot activity which analyses manual and gaze interactions by evidential reasoning. This approach resulted in a fragmented pattern of activities over time due to the high frequency of gaze shifts. Our concept suggests concatenating the activities and using the resulting sequence as a feature set for classification. We hypothesize that this representations of activities reflects the complex nature of concurrent and serial multitasking more appropriately. For probabilistic inference, we …
Analyses Of The Boeing 737max Accidents: Formal Models And Psychological Perspectives, Immanuel Barshi, Asaf Degani, Robert Mauro, Randal J. Mumaw
Analyses Of The Boeing 737max Accidents: Formal Models And Psychological Perspectives, Immanuel Barshi, Asaf Degani, Robert Mauro, Randal J. Mumaw
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Two fatal accidents involving the B737MAX resulted from the flight crews’ inability to overcome the effects of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). MCAS was designed to mimic the control column feel pressure and pitching behavior of the B737NG, which was the certification basis for the B737MAX. We briefly describe the potential role of formally modeling different perspectives during system design, and how such modeling can reveal gaps and conflicts between perspectives. We also discuss some of the relevant human factors issues involved in these accidents and how the aircraft’s behavior may have affected the pilots’ psychological states. Implications for …
Development And Psychometric Evaluation Of Us Air Force Aptitude Composites For Aircrew Training, Montana R. Woolley, Thomas R. Carretta
Development And Psychometric Evaluation Of Us Air Force Aptitude Composites For Aircrew Training, Montana R. Woolley, Thomas R. Carretta
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
The Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) is used to qualify applicants for officer commissioning and for aircrew training. Although the current aircrew aptitude composites have shown predictive validity against initial aircrew training outcomes for many years, they also have demonstrated moderate to large mean score subgroup differences (SGDs) for females and racial/ethnic minorities. Historically, AFOQT aptitude composites have been computed from a combination of the cognitive subtests. The current study examined the utility of Predictive Success Models (PSMs) which added personality facets from the Self-Description Inventory for Officers to the existing cognitive composites. Three statistical methods were utilized to …
Initial Testing Of The Uncrewed Aerial System Pilot Kit (Uasp-Kit) In Operational Settings, Lynne Martin, Lauren Roberts, Joey Mercer, Yasmin Arbab, Charles Walter, William Mccarty, Charles Sheehe Iii, David Fuller
Initial Testing Of The Uncrewed Aerial System Pilot Kit (Uasp-Kit) In Operational Settings, Lynne Martin, Lauren Roberts, Joey Mercer, Yasmin Arbab, Charles Walter, William Mccarty, Charles Sheehe Iii, David Fuller
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Pilots for small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) are at a disadvantage for building situation awareness of the remote airspace in which they are flying, simply because they are distant from their vehicles. A tool to provide increased air traffic situation awareness for an sUAS pilot is being developed. The UAS pilot kit, “UASP-kit,” is small and self-contained, with its chief capability being to collect and display Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast reports from local aircraft. UASP-kits were taken into the field, introduced to users during a training course, and then left with them for use throughout the summer fire season. sUAS pilots …
Uas Voice Communications Intelligibility Testing, Alex Konkel
Uas Voice Communications Intelligibility Testing, Alex Konkel
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations are increasing rapidly. UAS would like to operate similarly to current aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS), including communicating with air traffic control and possibly each other. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is evaluating a potential voice communications system that would allow this to see if the system’s latency and voice intelligibility are sufficient to meet FAA requirements. This paper describes the results of the first phase of voice intelligibility testing. Participants completed two tests, a Message Completion Test developed by the Human Factors Branch and the Modified Rhyme Test, with the audio being …
Development Of A Concept For Analyzing Moral Decision-Making In High Presence Virtual Environments, Sissy Friedrich, Axel Schulte
Development Of A Concept For Analyzing Moral Decision-Making In High Presence Virtual Environments, Sissy Friedrich, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In future military aviation, Artificial Intelligence will play a key role in combat battlefield tactics by reducing workload and taking over decisions exploiting advantages of speed and precision of computers. However, the question of the so-called trigger authority remains the core issue in this field as ethical tensions arise when a machine decides over the use of lethal force. To enable the operator to make the most morally justifiable decision, the most suitable human-automation workshare has to be determined so that he is supported in just the right way and not overloaded nor exposed to automation bias or loss of …
Acquiring Manual Flying Skills In A Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, Wiestse D. Ledegang, Erik Van Der Burg, Ivo V. Stuldreher, Mark M. J. Houben, Eric L. Groen, Danny Van Der Horst, Erik A. M. Starmans, Guido Almekinders
Acquiring Manual Flying Skills In A Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, Wiestse D. Ledegang, Erik Van Der Burg, Ivo V. Stuldreher, Mark M. J. Houben, Eric L. Groen, Danny Van Der Horst, Erik A. M. Starmans, Guido Almekinders
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In this study, we explored the possibility of objectively assessing the progress in manual flying skills by student pilots using Virtual Reality (VR). Using a VR flight simulator of the Pilatus PC-7 training aircraft, fifteen participants without flying experience practiced basic flight maneuvers based on self-study and without receiving feedback. Relevant flight performance measures were normalized and a learning curve was fitted, representing learning speed and end-level. During some runs an N-back task was included as a secondary task to quantify the participants’ cognitive capacity. Interestingly, performance on the N-back was not a good predictor of someone’s learning curve. The …
Measuring The Lookout Behavior Of Student Pilots In A Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, Ivo V. Stuldreher, Erik Van Der Burg, Wietse D. Ledegang, Mark M. J. Houben, Eric L. Groen, Danny Van Der Horst, Erik A. M. Starmans, Guido Almekinders
Measuring The Lookout Behavior Of Student Pilots In A Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, Ivo V. Stuldreher, Erik Van Der Burg, Wietse D. Ledegang, Mark M. J. Houben, Eric L. Groen, Danny Van Der Horst, Erik A. M. Starmans, Guido Almekinders
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Learning adequate gaze behavior is essential in flight training. In this exploratory study we investigated the development of gaze behavior in flight training in a virtual reality (VR) flight simulator. Following standardized study material, fifteen participants without flying experience repeatedly practiced three basic flight maneuvers in a VR simulator of a small aircraft. During some runs, participants performed an additional N-back task to measure cognitive spare capacity. From the recorded gaze data we computed the percentage of time during which the gaze was directed outside the cockpit, i.e., the “Lookout”. This outside dwell ratio differed between flight maneuvers. A higher …
A Comparison Of Virtual Reality And High-Fidelity Flight Training Devices For Ab Initio Pilot Training, Naomi Paul, Brad Moncion, Shi Cao
A Comparison Of Virtual Reality And High-Fidelity Flight Training Devices For Ab Initio Pilot Training, Naomi Paul, Brad Moncion, Shi Cao
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
High-fidelity flight training devices (FTDs) have value for ab initio pilot training, but their high cost is a major limitation. Researchers want to know if low-cost simulators, including virtual reality (VR), may be effective for some aspects of ab initio pilot training, supplementing FTDs. This work used a between-subjects experiment with 20 participants – all student pilots at the University of Waterloo with under 20 hours of flight experience – to analyze performance changes after training using either a FTD or VR simulator for procedural and aircraft handling tasks over three training sessions. Performance was assessed using instructor evaluations for …
Flight Deck Procedures For A New Generation Of Pilots, Erik-Jan A.M. Huijbrechts, M. M. Van Paassen
Flight Deck Procedures For A New Generation Of Pilots, Erik-Jan A.M. Huijbrechts, M. M. Van Paassen
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
This paper considers the combined effect of two trends in commercial aviation. On the one hand, there is a continuing demand for pilots, implying that a new generation of pilots, will soon be flying our aircraft. On the other hand, legal aspects have had an adverse effect on innovation in the safety level of established procedures, leading to a trend for aircraft operating companies to adopt manufacturer’s recommended flight deck procedures rather than reviewing these and adapting these where appropriate to local needs. However, with the influx of new pilots to the workforce, the lack of innovation and adaptation of …
Get The Job Done Or Safety Above All? How Training Background Affects Safety In Helicopter Pilots, Anna Kaminska, Amy Irwin, Devin Ray, Rhona Flin
Get The Job Done Or Safety Above All? How Training Background Affects Safety In Helicopter Pilots, Anna Kaminska, Amy Irwin, Devin Ray, Rhona Flin
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Culture has been identified as one of the main input factors impacting flight safety and team performance. Diverse methodologies were used to examine how professional culture influences helicopter pilots’ safety-related behaviours. Study 1 (mixed-methods survey) showed that the main difference between civilian- and military-trained pilots can be put down to ‘safety vs. efficiency’, with pilots mentioning that what is perceived to be a threat seems to differ between military-and civilian-trained helicopter pilots. Additionally, having a multi-professional crew (military- and civilian-trained pilots together in a cockpit) was seen as having a positive effect on all non-technical skills, especially on situation awareness. …
Development Of A Test Scenario To Assess Kinetosis Risk In Military Flight Training, Simone Vera Löhlein, Mara Kaufeld, Andreas Seefried, Axel Schulte
Development Of A Test Scenario To Assess Kinetosis Risk In Military Flight Training, Simone Vera Löhlein, Mara Kaufeld, Andreas Seefried, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In order to develop a comprehensive test scenario to detect the risk of early motion induced kinetosis, in aviation more commonly known as airsickness (AS), we conducted a detailed survey on the experiences of jet-aircraft student pilots, flight instructors, and flight physicians to discover AS-related flight maneuvers and other non-motion-induced triggers. Subsequently, we use these findings to design test scenarios that simulate the relevant stimuli in a controlled laboratory setting. Additionally, we propose how gaze tracking can be used to get further information about the pilot’s behaviour. For instance, it gives information about head-down times related to secondary tasks and …
Easy As Abc: A Mnemonic Procedure For Managing Startle And Surprise, Matteo Piras, Annemarie Landman, M. M. Van Paassen, Olaf Stroosma, Eric Groen, Max Mulder
Easy As Abc: A Mnemonic Procedure For Managing Startle And Surprise, Matteo Piras, Annemarie Landman, M. M. Van Paassen, Olaf Stroosma, Eric Groen, Max Mulder
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Background. Mnemonic procedures are currently being taught to airline pilots to manage startle and surprise. We previously tested the effectiveness of a four-item mnemonic. Pilots generally rated it as useful but some re-marked that it induced too much additional workload. Therefore, we tested whether a simpler mnemonic, Aviate-Breathe-Check, would be more useful. Method. The experiment took place in a hexapod simulator with a Piper Seneca aerodynamic model and a generic cockpit. Airline pilots (n = 25) were divided into an experimental (“ABC”) and control group. All received ground training on startle and surprise, which included instructions on the ABC mnemonic …

Development Of A Prototype Vertiport Human Automation Teaming Toolbox For Urban Air Mobility, Paul Krois, Joseph Block, Paul Cobb, Gano Chatterji, Cherie Kurian, Peng Wei, Shulu Chen
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
The future airspace system is envisioned to include urban air mobility enabled by new types of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for transporting passengers and cargo quickly and safely. Success will depend, in part, on the design and operation of vertiports, that like airports and heliports, will enable these aircraft to transfer passengers and cargo, land, recharge and takeoff. Human factors need to be considered in these designs with humans in the role of vertiport operators. Requirements for arrival, surface, and departure traffic and the interaction of the human operators with increasingly autonomous aircraft and decision support systems have …
