Description Context of Application: With an anticipated shortage of professional pilots, the aviation industry is exploring Single-Pilot Operations (SPOs) to reduce operational costs. To maintain high safety standards in a reduced-crew scenario, integrating automated assistance systems is crucial. A promising approach to virtual pilot assistance involves dynamically adjusting the level of automation based on real-time assessments of pilot behaviour, comparing detected actions against established situational procedures.
Aim of the Thesis: This thesis aims to develop a real-time activity detection algorithm to identify and classify deviations in pilot behaviour in the specific context of a civil flight mission. The algorithm must be able to process time sequences of observed events from cockpit recordings to infer whether the operator is performing the expected type of activity. A crucial aspect is leveraging mission knowledge through an established reference workflow.
One of the key outcomes of the task detection algorithm is to provide timely, context-related alerts when non-nominal events (e.g., missed or incomplete tasks) occur. An intermediate step towards the final algorithm will involve implementing pseudo real-time analyses. The tool will need to be validated against a set of pre-recorded data streams obtained during previous test campaigns.
