Human Contributions to Safety Data Testbed Flight Simulation Study: Data Methods, Processing, and Quality
摘要
NASA’s System-Wide Safety Project achieved a pivotal milestone through a structured observation simulation experiment aiming to transform safety in aviation. Building on prior initiatives, the study investigates pilot behavior and resilience during challenging scenarios. We studied 24 commercial pilots performing simulated real-world challenges during approach to KCLT such as traffic compression, convective weather, and modulating workload. We acquired standard human factors assessments like NASA-TLX and SART, and also collected a variety of psychophysiological measures such as EEG, ECG, and eye tracking. We employed custom questionnaires and retrospective think-aloud exercises to enable quantifying resilient and safe behavior. Video and audio were also recorded from multiple sources. This paper provides details regarding methodological procedures, data management, and a glimpse at some preliminary analyses. The data and code are publicly available providing a dynamic resource that encourages public contribution to quantification of resilient behavior in commercial airline pilots.
