THE AIRCREW'S TASK CUBE: INITIAL EVIDENCE OF A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL CONTROL TASK MODEL

摘要

This paper describes the initial development of a compact model for the tasks performed by aircrew in civil and defence platforms. Using a pool of tasks performed while controlling an airborne system towards a goal, the author suggests a series of dimensions, which can eventually be combined into a three-dimensional model. Such model could derive toolsets which the human factors engineer or HMI designer could employ to rapidly define the specific and ubiquitous properties of the system of interest across the development lifecycle.
