Abstract

Touch screen control technology can bring many benefits to airlines, pilots and manufacturers. At present, the design of aircraft cockpit touch panel is still in the initial stage, and there is a lack of a reliable and easy-to-use evaluation system. Combining the results of literature search, expert interview and user investigation, the relevant evaluation elements of touch panel were extracted, and evaluation system was initially set up. Through the feedback and revision of two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, the evaluation system of 4 dimensions based on hardware support, software design, installation environment and overall satisfaction was determined. Based on the G1 method, 26 pilots’ experts’ judgment data about the relative importance of the indicator were collected, and the indicator weight coefficients were determined. The evaluation system includes 4 indicators of level 1,11 indicators of level 2 and 44 indicators of level 3. The coefficient of variation of the importance of all indicators is between 0.05 and 0.23. A man-machine ergonomic evaluation system was constructed in this study, which can be applied to the design practice, improve the usability of the product and reduce the risk of R & D, and thus improve the user’s operation performance and satisfaction.
