摘要

The application of artificial intelligence in aviation continually grows. The AI technology contributes to improving efficiency, safety, competitiveness, and many aviation organizations have already implemented AI solutions in various aspects such as air traffic management, aircraft maintenance, autonomous drones, flight demand planning, as well as in aviation ergonomics. Ergonomics is primarily focused on optimizing the interactions between humans and technology, their tasks, and their environments with the objective to improve comfort, safety, and productivity. In the case of aviation, ergonomics is mostly focused on the interaction between the pilot and the aircraft. First introduction of AI solutions in ergonomics produced extraordinary results by improving work environment, productivity and general well-being of employees. Developments in ergonomics using AI include use of AI-powered cameras, computer vision or wearable equipment that can analyze an individual’s posture at their workplace, AI algorithms that can analyze an individual’s work habits and suggest personalized ergonomic adjustments, AI algorithms that can process large datasets such as health records, incident reports, and ergonomic assessments to identify trends and patterns and help improve workplace conditions, AI-enhanced virtual reality that can be used for ergonomic training and assessment, etc. In aviation, the specific AI simulation software solutions, such as RAMSIS, are used to ergonomically design aircraft cockpit and ensure crew and passengers have the optimal reachability, operability and vision, by accurately simulating the posture and movement of flight and cabin crew, passengers, etc. The paper presents an overview of recent developments and implementation of AI in aviation ergonomics.
