Abstract
This paper presents an infrastructure that integrates intelligent agents in order to monitor, in real time, the attention of aviation pilots during training/operative flight missions. The primary goal of this infrastructure is to make the decision process easier and increase Situation Awareness, thus to increase flight safety pro-actively. The proposed hardware/software platform could be able to anticipate the onset of problems which can lead to incidents, and to make easier the decision making process toward a positive solution of the problem. To attain the goal, a multi-agent system is designed using the most recent technology in the field of artificial vision and of the measurement of psychophysical parameters, starting from the most recent knowledge of visual attention to arrive at the development of an original and innovative model of Augmented Reality. Finally it is provided a case study based on an event actually occurred to prove effectiveness of the proposed platform.
