    摘要: A computer-implemented method is described. The method is be implemented by processors of an aircraft system. The method includes receiving images of an eye and a lighting configuration associated with a cockpit of an aircraft. The method further includes detecting a position of the eye within each of the images. The method further includes compensating for a pupillary light response of the eye based on the position of the eye within the image and the lighting configuration. By compensating for the pupillary light response, a fatigue level of the operator is estimated with reduced noise.

    摘要: An operator safety system (OSS) monitors the physiological well-being of an aircraft pilot or vehicle operator, and has engaged and disengaged operational states (the engaged state associated with active monitoring). The OSS includes a smart engage/disengage system incorporating presence sensors (e.g., visual, seat-based) installed in the cockpit or control area of the vehicle. When the presence sensors determine that the pilot/operator is no longer present in their seat but the OSS is still engaged, the OSS prompts the operator to disengage the OSS (e.g., via single-touch display interface or remotely to a mobile device). When the presence sensors determine that the operator is present or seated, but the OSS is disengaged, the OSS prompts the operator to re-engage the OSS.

    摘要: A system and method for continuous real-time assessment of the situational awareness of an aircraft operator incorporates gaze sensors to determine the current gaze target (or sequence of gaze targets) of the operator, e.g., which interfaces the operator is looking at. The system receives operational context from aircraft systems indicative of current events and conditions both internal and external to the aircraft (e.g., operational status, mission or flight plan objectives, weather conditions). Based on the determined gaze targets and coterminous operational context, the system evaluates the situational awareness of the operator relative to the operational context, e.g., perceptive of the operational context; comprehending the operational context and its implications, and projecting the operator's perception and comprehension into responsive action and second-order ramifications according to task models indicative of expected behavior.

    摘要: A context driven alerting system and method is described in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The alerting system and method may consider a pilot's physiological, psychological, and behavioral state during a given mission context. The system may include biometric information which is fused with a context of the flight. The context may be based on one or more of a mission profile data or an aircraft state data. The fused data may be time synchronized and provided to an alerting algorithm. The alerting algorithm may then provide an alert to the pilot which includes a priority, intensity, frequency, or modality determined based on the fused information.
