Effects of Display Format of Cockpit Air Traffic Information on Conflict Detection Performance / 航天医学与医学工程

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the display format of cockpit displays of traffic information (CDTI) that would influence the performance of conflict detection at different conditions of temporal and spatial features of air traffic situation.Methods Fifty-four subjects viewed dynamic encounters between own aircraft and three intruder aircrafts with a simulated CDTI.Subjects were asked to estimate potential conflict between intruder and own aircraft.Effects on conflict detection performance were explored with CDTI display format as well as intruder's distance and time to closest point of approach (CPA).The experiment was designed to be three factors measured repeatedly.Results Intruder's distance and time to CPA influenced conflict detection performance when separated display format was adopted to show traffic information.When integrated display format was adopted,the two independent variables before mentioned didn't influence conflict detection performance,and subjects gained high level of conflict detection performance(P
