Human Integration into the Life-cycle of Aviation Systems
项目名称: Human Integration into the Life-cycle of Aviation Systems
摘要: In the European strategy for air transport set out in, "European Aeronautics: A Vision for 2020" a target of an 80% reduction in aircraft accidents is proposed as necessary. Following the publication of these targets, the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) produced a Strategic Research Agenda which identified that ensuring effective and reliable human performance would be a key contribution to the required accident reduction. Analysis of accident data has shown that for 70% of aircraft accidents, human error on the flight deck is cited as the primary cause. In a further 15% of accidents human error on the flight deck is cited as a contributory cause. Deficiencies in maintenance are estimated to be involved in 12% of major accidents, and 50% of engine-related flight delays. In a complex system like aviation, the human operator (pilot, air traffic controller, maintenance technician) plays a critical role, both within and between sub-systems. Optimizing this role requires new design to reflect real human operational requirements. It is clear that methods and technologies, which are targeted at reducing, capturing or mitigating human error, would provide a major step toward the required reduction in the accident rate. The HILAS Project aims to achieve the target reduction in accidents by developing a 'system life-cycle' model in which knowledge generated about the human aspects of the system at the operational end is transformed into an active resource for the design of more effective operational systems and better, more innovative, use of technologies.
