Background
The objective of the HUMAN project is to develop a methodology with techniques and prototypical tools based on a cognitive model of the crew behaviour, to support the prediction of human errors in ways that are usable and practical for human centred design of systems operating in complex cockpit environments. The methodology will be developed and tested in the frame of a flight management system (FMS) case study. The results of the project will contribute to ensuring that aviation safety remains at current high standards or even improves regardless of air transport growth.
The project will support improved understanding of the human factor and prediction of potential pilot errors right from the beginning of the system development and thus would enable considerably improved human centred design of cockpit systems.
The HUMAN project is supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7).
