Tactile communication presents a relatively unexploited channel of information transmission in the field of aviation. Visual and auditory input channels frequently reach an information saturation point during various flight operations. A cutaneous communication system can bring the pilot and crew, additional information for suitable disposition, and can be used for such purposes as guiding an aircraft to landing, or keeping an aircraft on course during cross-country flying. This system can also be used to transmit emergency warning signals.
The present study investigated the channel capacity for multidimensional identifications of electrical cutaneous stimuli varying in both stridence and...
The evaluation of pilot workload has represented a complex measurement problem since the earliest days of manned flight. Traditional approaches have i...
