Requirements analysis Previous studies CAA database Interviews Training centre visit JAR Evacuations typology Occupants tasks modelling
Survivable events analysis (1) • 256 of the 2426 accidents (about 10.5%) involved an evacuation • Evacuation situations: • Evacuation involving fire or smoke are the most frequent (53% of the 256 accidents). • Approach or landing represent the phases of flight the most concerned with an evacuation (52% of the 256 accidents) • Non-usabilityof the exits is related to: • Difficulty/impossibility to open an exit • Obstacle or fire or water behind the door • Problem with the slides (problem of inflation, fire, split, etc…)
Survivable events analysis (2) • Temporal factor:Majority of evacuations are unplanned (no time to prepare cabin) • Evacuation decision making process:critical phase • Rule on the exits usability:CC role • An exit can be usable onlypart of the time of the evacuation • Communication problem: means failure, noise, impossibility to move • Passengers pre-flight briefing:influences passengers’ behaviour • Passengers guidance: • Guidance towards an exit is a serious problem in case of smoke, • Passengers dangerous behaviour due to panic • Re-routing of passengers because of unusable exits • Problem related to emergency equipment in case of ditching
Interest of a Hierarchical task model • Make clear the goal of each activity • Guide the need analysis • Formalise the links between actors • Stress the links between tasks • Understand the information used • Stress the influence of psychological and cultural factors • Offer a synthetic view of the occupants activity • Offer a framework to describe the results of evacuation reports analysis • Rich support to formalise the requirements taking account of the activity context
From the need analysis to the solution • Decide Evacuation • Understand situation • Prepare evacuation • Order evacuation • Decide usable exits • Guide passengers Tasks to be improved Related Requirements Solutions • Data Access • Data transmission • Co ordination • Passengers Briefing • Guidance • Procedures • Training • Emergency equipment CHECK CAMERA HEADSET SOUND SPYHOLE Training Procedures
Identification of solutions CHECK: for CC, be informed about the usability of all exits, assist passengers guidance, improve flow management. CAMERA: Check external conditions, provide information on slide usability? HEADSET: Improve interaction between CC& FC members; be informed about the usability of another exit; know if a CC or FC is operational or not; improve flow management. SOUND: Assist the guidance of passengers mainly in deteriorated situation (smoke, baggage in the aisle) SPYHOLE: Improve external conditions checking (widened vision)
CHECK CHECK: CHeck Exit and Comunicate Knowledge At each main door: • Display: overview of all exits usability • 2 modes: usable ; non usable • commands: • By default, automatic usable status when slide inflated • Manual command to input non usable / usable status
Next step • Finalise the « instruments » specification: • impact on CC procedures, training • impact on regulation • Proposenon technical solutionreplying to the requirements: change in CC procedure & training; FC and CC common training; Change in passengers briefing. • Experimentson realistic simulator (Cranfield) => IISU 2
Conclusion: 3 outcomes • Identification of solutions that are « reasonable » in terms of implementation feasibility, costand amount ofchange • Benefits of the use of thetasks modellingmethodology to analyse the needs :providetraceability. • Identification of tasks that needfurther investigations • evacuation decision process, • passengers awareness of the safety role of CC, • passengers briefing.
