Abstract

In various flight tasks, reasonable attention resource allocation is of great significance for pilot to obtain flight information timely and accurately. In this study, we presented a method for modeling pilot’s dynamic visual attention allocation with discrete event simulation. Firstly, a detailed task analysis served as the basis for the task network modeling. Then, the attentional attributes were assigned to different area of interests (AOIs) for each task unit through lowest ordinal algorithm. Finally, a stochastic dynamic simulation model was applied to compute the dynamic distribution of attention resource with the workflow. Twenty-four participants flew a simulation task in a high-fidelity Boeing 737–800 flight simulator to verify the model. The results suggested that the proposed computational model had a good fit of the experiments. This model can be served as an auxiliary design tool in the cockpit early design stages.
