How to coordinate HI and MI to

Captain Sullenberger
"This Air France accident is going to
be a seminal accident that will be
studied for years, and we need to ask
ourselves as an industry tough
questions about the way we're
designing airplanes, the way we're
displaying information to the pilots
in the cockpit. And about whether or
not making airplanes more
complicated, more technologically
advanced makes it more difficult for
pilots to very quickly intervene and
MI-HI Interfaces
Automation interfaces must present
data allowing users to easily
interpret and process the
information (Gavrilova & Tan, 2009)
Adaptive automation can
significantly improve performance
(Parasuraman & Wilson, 2008)
Current cockpit automation can make
it difficult for pilots to
understand the state of their
aircraft during emergencies
Research Objectives
Develop MI-HI Autopilot (MHA)to
support and monitor human operators
during all phases of flight
Automation will provide guidance on
current state of the aircraft
MHA will monitor crews actions using
its own decision making process
MHA will reduce errors of omission
from the pilot such as failing to act
or intervene effectively when required
MHA will randomly check with the pilot
to ensure they are engaged with the
flight and aware what the automation
is doing
Proposed Methods
PC based simulation of airliner
Custom software interfaced with
simulation to add new MI-HI
capabilities in specific scenarios
such as loss of control at high
altitude
Data displayed to pilot will selfadjust based on what information is
most relevant based on a hierarchy
of importance given the current
circumstances
