Abstract

Issues of Human-Machine Interaction in the aircraft's cockpit are well known as causes of events that collaborate with material and human losses. In this scenario, the design and evaluation of interfaces must follow rigorous methods. The objective of this work is to develop an evaluation method of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) within the cockpit in order to reduce erroneous actions. This method is based on theories and techniques from the Organizational Semiotics (OS) field. The feasibility of the proposed method was investigated in a case study in an aeronautical simulated scenario with the participation of three pilots. The intention is contribute to the advancement of knowledge in HCI cockpit environment, particularly in the understanding of human factors related to semantic, pragmatics and the situational awareness aspects of the interaction with computing devices, as well as creates a feasible method to evaluate these factors during the execution of the mission' tasks.
