“…In this context, Arango Pérez and Behrend (2019) suggested the interactive use of AR glasses which prompt the pilot toward checklist items. Moreover, AR glasses are of particular interest in extraordinary situations to support the efficient completion of abnormal procedures (Tran et al, 2018). In conclusion, our results indicate that pilots had to dwell more frequently on the ECAM which could be reduced by superimposing information via AR glasses to improve scanning behavior.…”

“…Examples are tools for human-autonomy teaming , the use of augmented reality (AR) glasses in SPO (Tran et al, 2018), and synthetic vision displays to support the pilot during approach and landing (Ellis et al, 2011). The literature review indicates that no study has analyzed pilot scanning behavior during SPO in a present-day flight deck without additional support.…”

Absence of Pilot Monitoring Affects Scanning Behavior of Pilot Flying: Implications for the Design of Single-Pilot Cockpits

Objective This study examines whether the pilot flying’s (PF) scanning behavior is affected by the absence of the pilot monitoring (PM) and aims at deriving implications for the design of single-pilot cockpits for commercial aviation. Background Due to technological progress, a crew reduction from two-crew to single-pilot operations (SPO) might be feasible. This requires a redesign of the cockpit to support the pilot adequately, especially during high workload phases such as approach and landing. In these phases, the continuous scanning of flight parameters is of particular importance. Method Experienced pilots flew various approach and landing scenarios with or without the support of the PM in a fixed-base Airbus A320 simulator. A within-subject design was used and eye-tracking data were collected to analyze scanning behavior. Results The results confirm that the absence of the PM affects the PF’s scanning behavior. Participants spent significantly more time scanning secondary instruments at the expense of primary instruments when flying alone. Moreover, the frequency of transitions between the cockpit instruments and the external view increased while mean dwell durations on the external view decreased. Conclusion The findings suggest that the PM supports the PF to achieve efficient scanning behavior. Information should be presented differently in commercial SPO to compensate for the PM’s absence and to avoid visual overload. Application This research will help inform the design of commercial SPO flight decks providing adequate support for the pilot particularly in terms of efficient scanning behavior.

“…Other than fatigue management, a study carried out by Airbus [44] assessed the relevance of virtual assistance given by augmented reality (via a Hololens helmet) in aircraft cockpits to avoid accidents with serious consequences. It shows the interest of virtual assistance in the speed of incident management (an engine fire in their case), in particular through faster decisionmaking and less time wasted scanning the environment to assess the situation.…”

“…In addition, the amount of information given by the assistant compared to that available without the virtual assistant is an advantage. The virtual assistant also helps to keep the stress level low and to gain a better knowledge of the environment [44].…”

“…Previous sections have shown that virtual assistants are more and more present in our daily lives and are developing a lot in transportation although they are only at an early stage. They could become a major asset in certain professions, whether for learning [13] or for security [44]. We should therefore ask ourselves what these assistants should look like, whether standards or guidelines are emerging and whether there are characteristics that we should pay particular attention to obtain the most efficient assistant possible.…”

Designed to improve human-machine interactions, virtual agents, and particularly virtual assistants (VAs), are spreading in our daily lives. Presenting a very wide variety of characteristics, studies generally report their own agent with its own characteristics and objective. So we can wonder if some of these characteristics are a consensus for VAs in general. Within this work, we aim to identify the agents' characteristics that should be considered when designing a virtual assistant promoting the best communication and cooperation between man and machine. We review the aspects of representation of the agent (embodied or not) and its ability to interact with the human being whether by speech or gestures, but also by displaying personality traits. This overview makes some focuses on virtual assistance of any kind embarked on vehicles.
