On the Design of a Head Up Display Solution to Facilitate Time-controlled Aircraft Taxi-operations

Övrigt konferensbidrag, 2012

Graphical display-support designed as a navigational aid during taxi with aircrafts has been introduced to minimize the risk of incidents and accidents as well as decreasing fuel consumption. Electronic airport maps, datalink and display-technology such as Head-Up Displays (HUDs) provide support to pilots. Means to provide graphical display-support for time-controlled taxi is however lacking. Four display-solutions were developed to assist pilots during time-controlled taxi. These four display-solutions were evaluated during usability tests resulting in a preferred speed-tape graphical HUD solution with alpha-numerical information redundancy.
