Participant Instructions Measures and Models of Aviation Display Clutter [ Year 2 Experiment ] June, 2008 NASA LaRC | NC State University | APTIMA
Research Objectives To assess the affect of different head-up display (HUD) features in various phases of flight on pilot mental workload and perceptions of display clutter.
Overall Process Briefing Training Test Trials Debriefing Introduction Equipment Familiarization Six Trials Re-ranking of Workload & Perceived Clutter Dimensions Informed Consent Three Legs per Trial Flight Scenario Alternative Terms Selection Ratings of Workload & Perceived Clutter Dimensions Demographic Survey Ranking of Workload & Perceived Clutter Dimensions Open Questions
Briefing Training Test Trials Debriefing Introduction - Greeting - Research Overview Completion of Forms - “Informed Consent Form” - “Demographic Questionnaire”
Briefing Training Test Trials Debriefing Equipment Familiarization • Integrated Flight Deck (IFD) Simulator with Head-up Display (HUD) • Boeing B757-200 Training • HUD feature configurations include SVS, EVS and/or Tunnel • Instructions on flight scenario (approach and landing at 16R, KRNO) • Practice session in IFD Completion of Ranking Forms • Complete “NASA-TLX (Task Load Index) Workload Demand Ranking Form”. • Complete “Subjective Clutter Descriptor Ranking Form”.
Briefing Training Test Trials Debriefing Flying the aircraft simulator with a HUD - Follow narrative of flight scenario for landing airplane at airport, including status, clearance from ATC, and required actions - View sequence of 16 different configurations of head-up display (HUD) components - Provide feedback on list of semantic pairs and overall display “clutter” for each display image by using rating questionnaires (paper and pencil). • Approach and landing at 16R, KRNO. • Each trial consists of three sequential legs. • In each leg, different HUD configurations will be presented. • At the end of each leg, you will complete the “NASA-TLX Workload Rating Form” and “Subjective Clutter Rating Form”. Trial #1 Trial #2 Trial #3 Trial #4 Trial #5 Trial #6 There will be 6 trials with different orders of presentation of HUD configurations.
Briefing Training Test Trials Debriefing Completion of Post-experiment Ranking Forms • Complete “NASA-TLX (Task Load Index) Workload Demand Ranking Form”. • Complete “Subjective Clutter Descriptor Ranking Form”. • Select from alternative clutter descriptor terms. Debriefing - Answer open questions on the definition of display clutter. - Provide subjective comments on the experiment.
