摘要

Background

As aviation becomes increasingly more complex, the demands on human-machine interaction (HMI) are growing. Adaptive automation systems, based on physiological measurements of pilots, could improve flight safety; however, it remains unclear to what extent pilots will accept these technologies in operational use.

Aims of the study

The aim of the study was to investigate the acceptance of pilots for the measurement of physiological data in operational settings and its use for adaptive automation systems. Both civilian and military pilots were included in order to analyze how they respond to these technologies, and what requirements they have for such systems.

Material and methods

In a qualitative study, (semi)structured interviews were conducted with 18 civilian A320 pilots and 5 military Eurofighter pilots. The interviews were analyzed to gain insights into user acceptance.

Results

The findings showed that civilian pilots see the greatest benefit in measuring physiological data for fatigue and crew management, while military pilots focus on G‑force-induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) and hypoxia. Both groups expressed concerns regarding comfort and data protection. Adaptive automation systems were viewed sceptically, particularly due to concerns that they might interfere with the control at critical moments.

Discussion

The study shows that adaptive automation and the collection of physiological data are generally accepted by pilots, provided that the systems do not add extra workload and data protection is ensured. A hybrid approach that integrates the advantages of adaptable automation could be a promising solution for future HMI in aviation.
