Physical ergonomics approach for touch screen interaction in an aircraft cockpit

Published: 16 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

The aim of this study was to define the physical ergonomics needs to optimize the integration of touch interaction in the future cockpit concept. A sample of 9 subjects were retained to cover the range of variability for Forward Reach ensuring that both small (5%) and large pilots (95%) are able to reach the controls from their seated position. A motion capture tool was used to capture functional reach envelops, pilot postures and upper limbs movements when subjects performed tactile tasks on different touchscreens locations. A subjective assessment for acceptability of posture (physical effort) was performed. Effects of task duration, visibility and hand lateralization were also considered. Results have shown that a set of criteria are to be considered to optimize Human System interaction. Physical effort varies depending on display location and task duration. The orientation of the displays needs also to be addressed to avoid visibility issues.
