摘要

The implementation of Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) has posed a number of design questions. One of these questions is centered on the minimum required display resolution of the synthetic vision display. Although a very high resolution display may be desirable from a product appeal point of view or for increased image fidelity, high quality displays may be prohibitively expensive, particularly for general aviation pilots. Also, there may be a marginal rate of return in terms of pilot performance, workload and situation awareness (SA). A second important issue is the field of view used in displaying the synthetic terrain. Smaller fields of view are more conformal with the natural view but appear to offer a smaller amount of navigationally relevant information than do wider fields of view. A large field of view offers the pilot more information, but distorts the image similar to what happens when wide angle lenses are used on cameras. Further, the optimal field of view may differ based on the phase of flight. The Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) at the University of Iowa conducted an experiment to assess human performance as a function of display resolution and field of view. Licensed instrument pilots flew sixteen approaches in the OPL General Aviation Workstation II (GAWS TOO) flight simulator with varying display options to determine the effect of the displays on flight technical performance. Performance was measured for four display resolutions, ranging from 120 pixels per inch (best) to 80 pixels per inch (worst). Field of view ranged from 22° (conformal) to 90° (greatest minification). Flight technical performance of the pilots was measured using four objective measures: cross track error, lateral track error, runway alignment deviation, and control input. The first three measures provide a relative level of situation awareness, and the last provides a relative level of pilot activity and physical workload. The piloting task involved navigation with sole reference to terrain. No pathway guidance was provided. We want to point out that this study was performed using a fractional factorial design that does not allow statistical evaluation of first or higher order interactions, only main effects could be analyzed with our experimental ma- trix. The following factors were studied: Display resolution (80 ppi, 90 ppi, 105 ppi, 120 pp), field of view (22, 30, 60, 90), texture type (elevation color, photo realistic), DEM resolution (3 arc sec, 30 arc sec), and terrain type (hilly, flat). This line-up of independent variables would require 128 runs. However, we conducted this study using a computer generated D-optimum fractional factorial matrix in 16 runs (1/8th fraction). The results of the investigation suggest that pilot performance is highest and workload is lowest for a display resolution of at least 105 pixels per inch (ppi). Increasing the resolution past 105 ppi appeared to offer little to no additional performance benefit in the configurations flown in our study. The optimal field of view was 60° . During the cruise phases of flight, a 60-90° field of view is optimal, whereas during final approach, a 30-60° field of view is optimal. This paper presents these findings.
