Engineering For Humans: A New Extension To Systems Theoretic Process Analysis, Megan France, John Thomas
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a new hazard analysis method developed at MIT to address a broad range of accident causal factors including dysfunctional interactions among components, design flaws, and requirements problems. This paper presentsa new extension for analyzing human interactions with automation and understanding why unsafe behaviors may appear appropriate in the operational context. The extension is demonstrated by applying it to pilot control of aircraft pitch control during stall recoveryusing scenarios from theAir France 447 accident

An Interdisciplinary Approach To Evaluating U.S. Army Aviation Training, Martin S. Goodwin, Lauren Reinerman-Jones, Brian F. Goldiez, Robert A. Crapanzano
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
The U.S. Army is seeking to update and expand its use of simulation-based aviation trainingto address operational and fiscal concerns that are driving the need for more efficient training solutions.This has created a needto evaluate whether lower-cost, game-based simulations may potentially augment higher-cost, traditional simulation-based trainingfor specific aviation training tasks.However, current approaches to Training Effectiveness Evaluation (TEE) do not address the complete range of factors to adequately evaluate today’s increasingly sophisticated simulation training environments. Leveraging recent research and drawing from the tools and techniques of human performance assessment, instructional science, and phenomenology, an interdisciplinary approach to performing TEEs is introduced …
Increasing Acceptance Of Haptic Feedback In Uav Teleoperations By Visualizing Force Fields, Victor Ho, Clark Borst, Rene Van Paassen, Max Mulder
Increasing Acceptance Of Haptic Feedback In Uav Teleoperations By Visualizing Force Fields, Victor Ho, Clark Borst, Rene Van Paassen, Max Mulder
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
In tele-operating an UAV, human operators fully rely on cameras to control thevehicle from a distance. To increase operator situation awareness and reduce workload, haptic feedback on the control stick has been developed which acts as an automatic collision avoidance system. A virtual force field surrounding the moving vehicle interacts with obstacles surrounding it,yielding repulsive forces on the stick that leadthe vehicle away from them. Albeit successful in significantly reducing the number of collisions,thehaptic interfacereceivedlow user acceptance ratings.Operators do not always fully understand the collision avoidance automation intentions, and they experience the haptic forces as intrusive. This paper discusses thedevelopment …

Empirically Evaluating Representational Aids For Target Tracking And Sensor Management, Taleri Hammack, Jared Neely, Terry Stanard, Jason Roll, John Flach
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Today, security officers at military and civilian installations are often required to track people and vehicles (targets) movingin a remote space using a distributed array of stationary security cameras. A pervasive tracking challenge is maintaining view of the target as it moves through the restricted fields of view of different cameras. The current research explores how different displaydesigns indicating camera fields of viewimpact the operator’s situation awareness of the next best camera to continue viewing a moving target. Three different interface displays(Full North-Up Map, Peripheral Display, and Track-Up Mini-Map) wereevaluated over four experimental conditions.While having all display types available was …

Human Performance Assessment: Evaluation And Experimental Use Of Wearable Sensors For Brain Activity Measures, Kurtulus Izzetoglu, Dale Richards, Lei Ding, Chen Ling, Ben Willems
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
The emerging wearable human performance monitoring technologies can help evaluate the cognitive status and capacities of the crew in the cockpit as well as those operating ground control stations. Traditionally the use of behavioral measures and subjective metrics has been used to address cognitive factors associated with pilots or operators of safety critical systems. However, the advance in wearable physiologytechnologies could provide additional performance metrics directly driven from brain based measures, potentially validating subjective assessments and ultimately bringing us closer towardsmaintaining safe and effective performance. Furthermore, these techniques may also aidthe design and evaluation of new technologies that are being …

The Effect Of Surprise On Upset Recovery Performance, Annemarie Landman, Eric L. Groen, M.M. (René) Van Paassen, Adelbert W. Bronkhorst, Max Mulder
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Introducing the element of surprise is one of the main challenges in simulator training of in-flight emergencies. In this simulator study, we investigated the differences in performance betweenpredictable and surprising circumstances, in order to obtaininsight into the transferof training between predictable training settings and surprising circumstances in operational practice. This was done bytestingtwenty airline pilots who recovered froman aerodynamic stall in two conditions: one anticipationcondition and one surprise condition. All pilots practiced beforehand using predictable, or non-surprising scenarios. The results show that pilots had significantly more difficulties in adhering to components of the FAA-commissioned recovery template in the surprise condition …

Is Rho The Key To Hazardous Weather Avoidance?, William R. Knecht
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Current in-cockpit looping Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) is inadequate to maintain safe (20 nm) aircraft separation from heavy weather (> 40 dBZ reflectivity). This assertion issupported by mathematical information analysis and an empirical study (Knecht, 2016), as well as numerous previous empirical studies. The current work revisitsthe ecological analysis by examining the putative affordance (rho) specifying when weather-avoidance maneuver should begin, as suggested by General Tau Theory (Lee, 2009).With“gapdefined as the distance between the on-screen aircraft icon and the weather hazard, is specified by the ratio ((dg/dt)/g)(t), the instantaneous gap contraction rate divided by the instantaneous gap size.

A Case Study Using The Human Factors Analysis And Classification System Framework, Flavio A.C. Mendonca Ph.D., Chenyu Huang Ph.D., Julius Keller Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Aircraft accidents are generally the end result of a number of latent conditions arising in the organizational and managerial sectors. These conditions frequently permit or even motivatethe unsafe acts by the flight crew. The Human Factors Analysis and ClassificationSystem (HFACS) is a system safety tool for the investigation and analysis of underlying human causal factors in aircraft accidents. Using the HFACS framework, four researchers classified the human factors identified by the Brazilian Aeronautical AccidentsInvestigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA) during the investigation of a mishap(PR-AFA) that happened in Brazil in 2014.

Usaf Spatial Disorientation Prevention: A Meta-Analytical Human Systems Integration Perspective, Patrick O'Neil, Booz Allen Hamilton, Michael Miller
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Human Systems Integration involvesthe systematic consideration of tradeoffs in system structure or behavior, which affect sevenhuman-centered domains to optimize total system performance and life cycle cost.All too often, HSI is overlooked or poorly practiced, despite the specific directive within DoDI 5000.02 for program managers to plan for and conduct HSI. In the worst of cases, poor consideration of human capabilitiesandlimitations leads to errors, mishaps, and death or serious injury. One such human limitation in aviation is the inability of the pilot to maintain proper spatial orientationduring flight,asmismatches between the stimuli present during flight create an erroneous perception of aircraft attitude …

Understanding Pilots’ Explanations Of Automation Surprises, Robert Mauro, Loukia Loukopoulou, Julia Trippe
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Automation surprise may result from inadequate or mistaken “mental models” of the automation (Sarter and Woods, 1995). To study pilots’ mental models of their automation, 202 airline pilots were asked to explain five different events involving unexpected behaviors of aircraft automation. Pilots’ abilities to correctly explain the behavior of the automation differed systematically across the scenarios. The number of complete and correct responses varied from 19% to 86%, depending on the scenario. As the complexity of the automation increased, understanding decreased. Performance on the scenarios was not related to flight experience, automation experience, or source of automation training. But pilots’ …
Operationalizing The Definition Of Risk As Variability, Julia Pounds, Paul Krois, Barry C. Davis, Melissa Wishy
Operationalizing The Definition Of Risk As Variability, Julia Pounds, Paul Krois, Barry C. Davis, Melissa Wishy
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Maintaining safety requires acknowledgingrisk. However, one’s definition of risk can depend on whether the word is being used in everyday conversation or by safety practitioners or by domain experts. Not having a commonly agreed-upon definition poses problems for those charged with identifying, reducing, and communicating about risk. In an effort to standardize the definition, the International Organization for Standardization defined risk simply as the effect of uncertainty on objectives. Still, this general definition lacks enough specificity to describe uncertainty’s positive or negative effects. Relevant information can reduce uncertainty’s potential effects if it’s not ambiguous, unreliable, incomplete, or unavailable.

Investigating Pilot’S Decision Making When Facing An Unstabilized Approach: An Eye-Tracking Study, Maxime Reynal, Frank Rister, Sebastien Scannella, Christopher Wickens, Frederic Hehais
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Unstabilized approach has been identified to be a major causal factor of approach-and-landing accidents (e.g. off-runway touchdowns, hard landing, tail-strikes, etc).We conducted an experimentin order to analyze pilots’ performance during such approaches. Ten type-rated, commercial pilots flew each in a B737 full-flight simulator during anunstabilizedapproach at Hamburg airport. The Pilot Flyings’ (PF) eye gazes were collected. The results revealed that half of the pilots persisted in an erroneous landing decision. These latter pilots had higher dwell time on the attitude indicator/flight director whereas the group of pilots who perfomed the go-around exhibited more fixations on the navigation display prior to …

Alerts On The Nextgen Flight Deck, Angelia Sebok, Christopher D. Wickens, Brett Walters, Karl Fennell
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
The future generation of cockpit may substantially change the nature of displays, automation, and their implications for alerting systems. Flight deck automation and information systems imposed by NextGen will create system states that may need to be alerted. New concepts of providing continuous flight information can benefit pilot awareness. Ecological interface displayskeep the operator aware of the system status and constraints, informing the pilot of emerging concerns before an alert is triggered. Continuous auditory and tactile displays support pilot awareness without requiring focused operatorattention. Both approaches improve awareness of system state, but suffer poor operator acceptance. Automation can support pilots …

Effects Of Simulator Training For Unmanned Aerial Systems In Undergraduate Education, William Weldon, Dr. Brian Kozak
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are being added to the national airspace (NAS) in very large numbers. Many universities have seen this demand for UAS operators and begun to create programs in order to train undergraduate students in their use. The UAS industry currently lacks adequatetraining requirements for beginning operators. This fact makes university training important, because universities are oneof the few places that offer structured training. While the UAS industry in the US is in its infancy it is possible to draw parallelismsthe training history of manned flight in order to avoid pitfalls and offer training in the most efficient …

Fatiguing The Force: Using Operational Data To Improve The United States Air Force’S Mission Effectiveness Model, Kelly M. Amaddio, Jennifer P. Howland
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Air mobility pilots routinely fly multiple missions spanning several time zones, thereby disrupting their circadian rhythm. As a result, they consistently operate at a sub-optimal performance level. After several fatigue-related accidents, the Air Mobility Command (AMC) Safety Office incorporated the Sleep, Activity, Fatigue, and Task Effectiveness (SAFTE) model into its Aviation Operational Risk Management (AvORM) program to inform aircrew members of their fatigue levels during critical phases of flight. Further analysis indicated that aircrew members experience higher fatigue levels than predicted, which directly reduces flight safety. This study seeks to improve the underlying assumptions within the sleep model to more …

An Eeg Data Investigation Using Only Artifacts, Chelsey Credlebaugh, Paul Middendorf, Matt Middendorf, Scott Galster
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
For decades, it has been reportedthat theelectroencephalogram (EEG) isa positive indicator of mental workload. However, EEG signals are easily affected by artifacts.Anartifact mediation approach, called artifact separation, was developed to enable the consumer of the EEG data to decide how to handle artifacts. The current investigation uses onlydata contaminated by artifacts and discards the artifact free data.This was doneto solve a problem associated with data collection.Specifically, in an experiment, EEGelectrodeleadsforT3 and Fzwere swapped where they were connected to the signal acquisition hardware. To facilitate analysis of the data, it was essential to determine whenthe swap occurred. This was accomplished using …
