Current advances in airplane cockpit design and layout are often driven by a need to improve the pilot's awareness of the aircraft's state. This involves an improvement in the flow of information from aircraft to pilot. However, providing the aircraft with information on the pilot's state remains an open challenge. This work takes a first step towards determining the pilot's state based on biosensor data. We conducted a simulator study to record participants' electrodermal activity and gaze behavior, indicating pilot state changes during three distinct flight phases in an instrument failure scenario. The results show a significant difference in these psychophysiological measures between a phase of regular flight, the incident phase, and a phase with an additional troubleshooting task after the failure. The differences in the observed measures suggest great potential for a pilot-aware cockpit that can provide assistance based on the sensed pilot state.
当前，飞机驾驶舱设计和布局的改进往往是出于提高飞行员对飞机状态的感知能力的需要。这涉及到从飞机到飞行员的信息流动的改进。然而，为飞机提供有关飞行员状态的信息仍然是一个悬而未决的挑战。这项工作是朝着基于生物传感器数据确定飞行员状态迈出的第一步。我们进行了一项模拟器研究，记录了参与者的皮肤电活动和注视行为，这些行为表明在仪器故障情况下的三个不同飞行阶段中，飞行员状态发生了变化。结果表明，在正常飞行阶段、事故阶段和故障后增加故障排除任务的阶段之间，这些心理生理测量值存在显著差异。观察到的测量值的差异表明，具有感知飞行员状态的能力的飞行员意识驾驶舱具有很大的潜力，可以根据感知到的飞行员状态提供帮助。
