Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (Engineering and Technology).
The lack of aircraft state awareness has been one of the leading causal and contributing factors in aviation accidents. Many of these accidents were due to flight crew’s inability to understand the automation modes and properly monitor the aircraft energy and attitude state. The capability of providing flight crew with improved aircraft state awareness is essential in ensuring aviation safety. This dissertation describes predictive alerting methods that apply algorithms such as Multiple Hypothesis Prediction (MHP) on aircraft avionics outputs to predict and prevent hazardous conditions. Simulation and Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) studies results are presented to show the effectiveness of the predictive alerting method in aiding flight crew’s aircraft state awareness during some of the most confusing aircraft automate modes.
