Periodic Reporting for period 1 - REPS (Real Life Environment with Pilot State Monitoring Systems)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2021-01-01 al 2021-12-31
To secure the project plan, a second airline was approached to support the trial activities after the successful qualification of the devices.
The final goal is, that a PSM will help pilots to master their increasingly complex working environment. Additionally to the work they have to perform, they have to be constantly attentive and supervising the cockpit - even when not in charge. To counteract errors due to the workload plus continuous cognitive demand as early as possible, the PSM shall be capable of recognizing distinctive pilots’ state, i.e. drowsiness. By that, pilots can be alerted early and appropriate countermeasures can be initiated. This kind of alert-system is new to the operational commercial aircraft environment. It will be a major milestone to bring these devices into real aircraft cockpit during regular daily operations.
