Abstract

Employment of the Research Engineering Simulator for Project and Optimizing Humane - Machine Interface (HMI)In the process of optimizing of the human-machine interface (HMI) for military aircraft, the research-engineering simulator makes the basic testing instrument for the verification of the quality of the process. This paper describes the hardware architecture and the concept of the system of the computer-based engineering simulator. It presents some analyses of software and hardware solutions of the selected test benches of the simulator.

Highlights

  • In the process of optimizing of the human-machine interface (HMI) for military aircraft, the research-engineering simulator makes the basic testing instrument for the verification of the quality of the process

  • The universal mobile test bench, equipped with shelves sliding on guide bars and built-in electric power system, voltage and cooling maintenance system, was used on purpose

  • Beside recording of the value of psychophysiological parameters of the tested military aircraft’s operators, this bench is used for presentation of the results, in the form of recommendations for the constructors of the tested interfaces. This bench is placed in different room from the one of the research engineering simulator

Summary

Organization and equipment of the subject’s test bench

Ensuring the proper conduct of the test requires that the subject performs the tasks assigned by the instructor correctly, and the tasks result from the aim presented during the briefing. The bench equipment includes the following elements: o Data display system of aircraft’s position in space, its flight characteristics and on-board equipment (cockpit of the simulated aircraft). Flight control instruments of the military aircraft’s test simulator should replicate in a realistic way the actual technical solutions, employed on the modern aircraft, and above all the aircraft’s functions. The first one is the adaptation of the cockpit of the certain military aircraft with all flight control instruments and flight instrument board This solution provides high realism of mapping the pilot’s direct environment. The analysis of technical solutions shows that it is possible to employ professional frameless plasma monitors or standard panoramic plasma monitors with plastic frame, which make discontinuity in generated image. The plasma monitors are installed on special supports, which enable constructing display walls of different shapes
