Abstract
While Human Factors is perhaps the most critical discipline to improving aviation safety, research and development is disproportionately small-scale, fragmented and unsustained. The key issue is the delivery of Human Factors knowledge throughout the system to improve design, operation or monitoring. A systems integration approach to technology development and innovation incorporates user requirements at all stages of the system life-cycle. The goal of the HILAS project is to develop and demonstrate such an integrated model of Human Factors research, practice and integrated application, linking design and operation - in a ‘system life-cycle approach‘. A central challenge is to demonstrate how to integrate models of the human operator, which demonstrate the influences on human performance, with wider system models that encompass the influences on system performance.
