Abstract

Modern cockpits with highly integrated and complex automatic functions often use inappropriate automation concepts and ignore human centered design. This leads to deficiencies in crew-machine-interaction. This paper introduces theories and a prototype of a cognitive system with human-life capabilities as the interpretation and diagnosis of the situation, planning and decision making to overcome the above deficiencies. Results from flight simulator test runs of a prototype system are presented. The paper concludes an out-line on how cognitive assistant systems can improve safety and can increase effectiveness and economy of intelligent transportation systems
