摘要

A vital aspect of aircraft acceptability is its ability to operate under extreme conditions without requiring an excessive pilot workload. In recent years, the ability to predict this somewhat esoteric quantity using computational techniques has been pursued. Apart from enabling these tasks to be carried out with improved efficiency and safety, it has also provided the ability to perform tasks under tightly controlled flight conditions. This is of major importance to operation in severe atmospheric conditions where flight in proximity to vertical surfaces is common. Rapidly increasing computing power has allowed flight simulation to become available at increasingly modest costs. Consequently, the capability to examine the performance of an aircraft in relation to the corresponding pilot workload can be realistically achieved at an early stage of the design. The research to be described in this paper comprises an investigation into using such low cost simulation software and combining it with advanced processing techniques to arrive at a method of quickly estimating pilot workload and thereby rapidly assessing the implications of design modifications. The method described records the lateral and longitudinal control stick inputs the pilot makes to perform an aircraft manoeuvre for a variety of flight conditions and handling qualities. This process inevitably produces large amount of data which will require efficient processing. In order to achieve this, the data is then smoothed and reduced using Fourier and wavelet analysis technique. It was considered that conversion of these results to a workload rating would be an ideal candidate for a neural network, due to the fuzzy and subjective nature of this assessment. This neural network is trained with the results obtained from the signal breakdown as inputs and the pilot's assessment of workload as the target output. This process is validated by presenting previously unseen data to the network and continuing the training until suitably accurate workload ratings are predicted, resulting in a system capable of measuring workload given just control inputs. The advantages of this method over existing methods relying on direct pilot feedback are clear. Workload can be estimated at an early stage of the design process using simulator software, and responses to changes given almost instantly using a real-time display of workload. The novel use of a neural network makes the method adaptive to changes, and the ability to function correctly with a variety of aircraft and pilots without requiring fundamental changes to the algorithm, or any in-depth technical knowledge of this research. The study has shown promise, in that it corresponds well with the Bedford rating given by the pilot, and it therefore warrants further investigation.
