Control Interface Design of Aircraft Cockpit by the Kansei Engineering

Abstract

The study which focuses on the driving feelings of pilots and quantifies the emotional intention of users based on the Kansei Engineering put forward a new research direction and method of the control interface design of civil aircraft. The study applies the design methods of Kansei Engineering such as semantic differential method and fuzzy math to quantify the feelings of pilots. And then mathematic relationship is set up between design elements and Kansei cognition to guide design work. It can help designer to seize the emotion of users more efficiently and accurately, and apply it into design work. Keywords-aircraft cockpit; control interface design; kansei engineering.
