Description du projet
De meilleures interactions homme-machine pour les pilotes
Les progrès révolutionnaires accomplis dans les domaines de l’électronique, de l’automatisation, de l’informatique et des technologies aéronautiques ont donné naissance à une concurrence féroce dans le secteur du transport aérien. Ces avancées ont également engendré une surabondance d’informations que les pilotes doivent gérer en cours de vol. Dans ce contexte, le projet PEGGASUS, financé par l’UE, a tiré parti des progrès des technologies informatiques pour mettre au point un nouveau système à vision intelligente qui allie les technologies de suivi oculaire et de reconnaissance des gestes de la main et pourrait être mis en œuvre dans les cockpits afin d’améliorer les interactions homme-machine. En ayant recours à des caméras équipées de capteurs opérant dans le proche infrarouge, à l’IA et à la vision par ordinateur, le système PEGGASUS permettra de s’assurer que les pilotes reçoivent les informations dont ils ont besoin quand ils en ont besoin.
Objectif
As the capabilities of cockpit systems increase, the way in which the pilots interact with them evolves. At the same time, flight management concepts and tools continue to increase in complexity, as well as flight and non-flight data streams, which consequently challenges the pilots’ abilities to cope with the information they need to be aware of, and exerts pressure on their cognitive states.
In in framework of the development of new Human System Interfaces carried out in WP1.2.4 the Clean Sky 2 SYSTEMS ITD, the PEGGASUS project proposes an approach to bring innovative smart vision systems to cockpits. The system we propose to develop is a crew interface and monitoring system implementing eye gaze, face, and gesture tracking technologies to bring new functionalities to Human-Machine Interfaces in the cockpit. It consists in a set of NIR-sensitive cameras powered by Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms running on a central processing unit. Three prototypes will be developed from a standalone lab prototype, to a TRL5 model integrated in the topic leader’s “cockpit demonstrator”. The system design shall be compliant with aircraft cockpit installation, the operational environment and pre-certification requirements. The requirements defined at the beginning of the project with the topic leader’s inputs, will be verified after its successful integration into the “cockpit demonstrator” avionics.
PEGGASUS brings together partners able to cover the complete value chain of innovative product development: SERMA Engineering (FR), an OEM for aeronautical equipment, CSEM (CH) an RTD with proven experience in innovative technologies for aeronautics, ETHZ (CH) represented by the Geogaze lab that conducts cutting edge research with eye tracking technology, particularly for the use in aviation training, and Swiss (CH), an airline and potential end user who will provide expertise in crew interfaces and monitoring.
