Advanced Airspace Usability (ADAIR)

空域将在未来15年内迅速变化，空中交通管制自动化程度提高，飞行路径跟踪具有很强的时间限制，以及飞机和地面控制之间的大数据交换。然而，很少有信息可用于了解这种转变对飞行员任务的影响，以及如何设计驾驶舱以减少由于信息过载而导致的人为错误风险。该项目将通过飞行员可用性测试，设计和验证创新的航空电子解决方案，用于信息呈现、人机交互、自动化和决策支持，用于基于自动化的操作、信息交换和机场地面导航，即，滑行。该项目的结果将用于定义新的飞行甲板和航空电子设备功能，以促进飞行员与未来空域要求的集成，并确保安全运行。该项目的成果将为加拿大飞机和航空电子设备制造商提供必要的指导，以从飞行员的角度解决空域发展路线图。它将使加拿大空域用户处于飞行甲板数字化转型的最前沿，以利用“最佳装备，最佳服务”规则，从首选航线，燃油减少和环境效益中受益。此外，它将加强加拿大在航空工业中的领导地位，以人为本和航空电子领域。从以用户为中心的设计活动和广泛的试点在环可用性测试中获得的结果将支持加拿大参与的主要国际监管机构的循证决策，例如，国际民航组织，帮助保持加拿大的领导作用。

The airspace will rapidly change in the next 15 years with increased automation of air traffic control, flight path tracking with strong time constraints and big data exchange between the aircraft and ground control for communication. However, little information is available to understand the impact of this transformation on the pilot's tasks and how to design the flight deck to reduce the risk of human error due to information overload. This project will design and validate, through pilot usability tests, innovative avionics solutions for presentation of information, human-machine interaction, automation and decision support for the topics of trajectory-based operations, information exchange and airport surface navigation i.e., taxiing. The results of this project will be used to define new flight deck and avionics functionalities required to facilitate pilot integration with future airspace requirements and ensure safe operations. Outcomes of this project will provide the needed guidance to Canadian aircraft and avionics manufacturers to address the airspace development roadmap from the pilot's perspective. It will place Canadian airspace users at the forefront of the digital transformation in the flight deck to take advantage of the "best equipped, best served" rule to benefit from preferred routing, fuel reduction and environmental benefits. Furthermore, it will strengthen Canada's leadership position in the aviation industry to the fields of human factors and avionics. Results obtained from user-centered design activities and extensive pilot-in-the-loop usability testing will support evidence-based decision making by key international regulatory bodies in which Canada is involved e.g., ICAO, helping maintain Canada's leadership role.
