FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute Aerospace Accident-Injury and Autopsy Database System, AA-IADS

摘要

The purpose of this document is to describe the results of activities accomplished under the grant entitled Development of Specifications for an Interactive Aircraft Accident Data Collection and Analysis System, (No. 04-G-034). Dr. Jennie J. Gallimore, from Wright State University was the principal investigator. The Federal Aviation Administrator (FAA) technical monitor was Dr. Charles DeJohn, from the Aeromedical Research Team of the Aerospace Medical Research Division (AAM-600), Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City, OK. This research plan supported the FAA CAMI by providing a Ph.D. research graduate student to support the development of an Aircraft Accident Injury and Autopsy Database System (AA-IADS) to improve the FAAs ability to classify and study aircraft occupant injuries to better understand the types and mechanisms of injuries caused by aircraft accidents. The proposed duties and responsibilities are summarized as follows: 1. Provide scientific research expertise for the development of the Aircraft Accident Injury and Autopsy Database. 2. Perform a literature search on the study of injury pattern investigation in aviation-related aircraft accidents and preventive strategies. 3. Evaluate alternative system hardware and software for database development. 4. Develop a system for collecting, classifying, and posting injury data into the AA-IADS. 5. Develop a method to migrate autopsy data currently contained in the CAMI Autopsy Database into the AA-IADS. 6. Develop a research plan to study the mechanism of injuries and methods to reduce passenger and aircrew injuries so as to increase survival rate.
