“…Results showed that the folds helped to reduce physical effort by stabilizing the arm and hand. This physicality was also associated with better performance in the piloting task in a turbulent environment [17].…”

“…For example, a study by Rouwhorst et al [70] introduced a touchscreen control panel for mode selection, but the system did not reduce workload or enhance situation awareness in a statistically significant manner and this worsening effect was aggravated under severe turbulence. In fact, touchscreens are being introduced relatively slowly into the cockpits of commercial aircraft, mainly because of the safety issues associated with use in adverse turbulent conditions [17] that impact the accurate interaction with touch-based interfaces, potentially leading to unintended inputs or errors [17,19,27].…”

Autopilot interfaces are designed to help aircrews maintain awareness about the aircraft's current automation mode, the lack of which can lead to fatal accidents. However, even though researchers have identified multiple design flaws, cockpit designs remain largely unchanged. We first review the research literature on autopilot design, with a special emphasis on addressing mode awareness in order to create a design space that characterizes autopilot interfaces. We next follow a generative design approach that analyzes and critiques three existing commercial autopilot interfaces with respect to this design space so as to identify their gaps and limitations.We then extend the design space to include additional design dimensions and conclude by suggesting directions for improving future autopilots.Les interfaces de pilotage automatique sont conçues pour aider l'équipage à rester conscients du comportement de l'avion, car un manque de cette conscience peut entraîner des accidents graves. Malgré l'identification de défauts de conception, leurs interfaces restent largement inchangées. Nous passons d'abord en revue les travaux de la littérature sur les conceptions de pilotes automatiques afin de créer un espace de conception qui les caractérise. Notre approche de conception générative a guidé l'analyse et la critique de trois cockpits commerciaux existants, conduisant à l'identification de leurs limites. Enfin, nous avons étendu le design space avec de nouvelles dimensions, suggérant ainsi des directions futures pour la conception des interfaces d'autopilotage.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → User interface design.

“…The second part of the study aimed at identifying vibrotactile pattern characteristics that may be resilient to turbulence (Q2). First, it is worth mentioning that the simulated turbulence based on the ISO 2631-1 standard and previous studies [8,11,25] was representative of real turbulence. This was confirmed by most of our participants including licensed pilots.…”

Given the high attentional demand in aircraft cockpits, tactons can be used to deliver information without overloading the visual and auditory channels. However, aircraft are subject to turbulence that interfere with vibrotactile feedback. To investigate the impact of turbulence on tacton identification, 18 participants tried to identify 9 tactons with varying intensity and rhythm, while experiencing uncomfortable and very uncomfortable levels of mechanical vibration defined in ISO 2631-1. The results show that the effectiveness of tactile communication decreases with the rhythm identification performance as the level of turbulence increases. In our study, an RMS acceleration delta of 0.70 Grms between two consecutive tactons guaranteed near zero confusion. Based on their experience performing the study, participants built tactons that included 4 pulses, lasted for at least 350 ms and vibrated at no less than 1.25 Grms to be comfortably perceived. Our results will support practitioners for designing tactons that can be more resilient to turbulence. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Interaction techniques; Haptic devices.
