Abstract
This paper describes the requirements elicitation process and the subsequent system requirements for an advanced cockpit to reduce crew workload and stress. The paper outlines the need for a step-change in technology and operational practices to ensure the continued safety of a transport system which is predicted to grow. The ACROSS project aims to develop advanced cockpit solutions to reduce workload and stress in an increasingly congested aviation transport system. Six types of requirements were derived including aviate requirements, and navigate, communicate, manage systems, crew monitoring, and crew incapacitation requirements. The research project is currently specifying the human factors requirements for the technologies to achieve improved operational safety.
