The Human-Electronic Crew: Can We Trust The Team?

Abstract

With the emergence of increasing numbers of aircraft systems involving human operators interacting with intelligent automation, concerns have been raised regarding the trustworthiness of the Human-Electronic crew team's decisions. Many of the decisions that the team is required to make occur in an imprecise world in which the judgements may be made based on such vague concepts as high, low, near, or far. The most effective decision aids in this type of environment may be those which can interpret inexact data and still achieve sound solutions, such as fuzzy logic decision aiding systems. Essentially, the problem comes down to the level of confidence that higher authorities should have in the decisions, and the resulting actions of the team. The Human-Electronic crew needs to be successfully developed and integrated such that it can function effectively as a trustworthy team in this inexact real world.
