A European Commission Seventh Framework Programme

1. All Condition Operations and Innovative Cockpit Infrastructure Project Presentation, HMI workshop Forlì 19th September 2012 Francesca De Crescenzio University of Bologna A European Commission Seventh Framework Programme

2. Overview of the project

3. To develop and All Conditions Operations Capability to reduce weather related delays by 20% 2. To develop a new flight deck architecture facilitating the introduction of new technologies and applications, applicable to a broad range of aircraft types ALICIA – Key Objectives

4. To enhance safety within the air transport system To reduce the time-to-market of complex, integrated avionics systems To reduce through-life costs • Crew training and type approval; common HMI philosophy • Obsolescence; equipment interoperability • Re-design & certification; cross platform standards ALICIA - Supplementary Objectives

5. ALICIA Overall Concept

6. Decision height below 200 feet for all equipped aircraft on almost all runways/landing sites in low visibility/bad weather conditions • More autonomous taxiing capability in low visibility/bad weather conditions • Optimized flight efficiency and safety by providing an accurate picture of the weather situation around the aircraft and along its intended trajectory All Condition Operations - operational gains

7. New Cockpit Concept – ALICIA improvements • Key drivers: • SESAR functionality • ACO functionality • Avionic equipment cost • Optimising crew workload • Increased standardisation across a broad range of aircraft platform types; architecture & HMI • Significant reduction in cost and time to market for new cockpit systems

8. New Cockpit Concept – domain focus • Cockpit Audio Environment • Display Technologies • System Management/Control Functions • Human Machine Interface (HMI) • Crew Station Layout • Automation • Holistic Integration

9. All Condition Operations is just one axis of a technology frontier that will arrive in the next generation cockpit Cockpit Technologies – Innovation Potential Display Technologies Head Mounted Displays Large Area Displays Head Up Displays 3D Displays Audio Technologies Holistic Integration/Optimization Task Automation DVI/DVO ALICIA Auditory Displays/3D State-of-the-Art HFI Tools/Processes Multimodal Interface Technologies Passive/Active Sidesticks Haptic Devices Cursor Control Devices New cockpit architecture supporting the integration of new technology

11. ALICIA – work structure Capturing of the operational requirements WP1 Operational Requirements WP6.3 Exploitation Plans ( Development after ALICIA ) WP2 New Architecture Concept WP3 Technology Selection & Integration WP5 Simulation, Evaluation & Assessment Concept validation through simulations WP4 Application Design & Implementation Sept. 2009 Aug. 2013

12. UNIBO ConceptObjectives Enhance Situation Awareness through: • Use of conformal symbology • Representation of data not usually represented/ not representable on HUD • Representation of intuitive data superimposed on the external view in an augmented reality approach

13. UNIBO Prototype Virtual Reality HUD Simulator EXTERNAL VIEW LAYER SIMULATED HUD LAYER

14. 3D Simbology Generator • To supplement the conventional head down representation of weather with complementary head up data • To enhance flight safety with regards to airborne obstacle proximity and navigation hazards • To provide 3D support for the “detect and avoid” concept

15. ALICIA – EEAG • External Experts Advisory Group (EEAG) group (user representatives from the early stages and during the life of the project to deliver operational and practical feedback to ALICIA’s Work Packages. • This aims at ensuring that the developed systems will meet the stakeholders' expectations and constraints. • Experts coming from Airlines, Helicopter & Aircraft operators, Crewmembers, Airworthiness & Operational authorities, Representatives of Air Navigation Service Providers.
