Appl. No.:

13/525954

Inventors:

Lisa C. Thomas - Kirkland WA, US

Assignee:

THE BOEING COMPANY - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600300

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product are provided to automatically assess a plurality of fatigue mitigation strategies. In the context of a method, fatigue information is received for a subject and determination is made as to whether the subject is fatigued. In an instance in which the subject is fatigued, the method determines an estimated effectiveness of each of a plurality of fatigue mitigation strategies based upon fatigue information for the subject and one or more constraints and characteristics of a respective fatigue mitigation strategy. The determination of the estimated effectiveness of each of the plurality of fatigue mitigation strategies may also be based upon at least one of a time to become effective, a duration of the effectiveness and a side effect. The method also identifies at least one fatigue mitigation strategy to address fatigue of the subject.

International Classification:

G05D 1/00
G08G 5/00
B64D 25/00
A61B 5/18

Abstract:

Systems and methods for monitoring, communicating and safeguarding the health and alertness of a pilot during operation of an aircraft. The state of the pilot is monitored using biometric sensors. A pilot state data processor of an onboard computer system determines whether the value of any health/alertness parameter has exceeded a specified threshold or not.The onboard computer system further includes an automatic control processor that automatically transfers control authority from the pilot to the autopilot and then issues an unfit pilot alert. Then a real-time audio/video/data connection is established between the pilot onboard the aircraft and a remote medical professional. The remote medical professional evaluates the medical fitness of the pilot and determines whether the pilot automated mitigations should be continued (pilot unfit for duty) or removed (pilot fit for duty).

International Classification:

B64D 45/00
G07C 5/08
G07C 5/02

Abstract:

An improved aircraft management system for consolidating and prioritizing alerts through the use of an alert consolidator is described herein. According to an embodiment, a method for providing a list of tasks for responding to alerts provided by an aircraft sensing system includes receiving a plurality of alerts provided by an aircraft sensing system prioritizing at least two alerts, generating a prioritized sequential list of tasks for responding to the prioritized alerts, and providing, in a single format, the prioritized sequential list of tasks.

Christopher Marc GAST - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

B60W 40/08

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer program product for detecting, in real time, a fatigue level of a vehicle operator. Multiple physiological indicators of an individual vehicle operator can be monitored at different instances when the operator's level of fatigue is known and can be quantified. A statistical model of the vehicle operator's fatigue can be developed from the data from the multiple instances. In future instances, the statistical model can be applied to real-time physiological data collected from the operator during operation of the vehicle to determine a fatigue level. A warning can be provided when the statistically-calculated fatigue level exceeds a threshold level.

Abstract:

A system for providing an oxygen enriched localized environment in a user compartment on an aircraft that can include a gas separation system having an oxygen output channel that outputs a flow of oxygen enriched air, and a duct network coupled to the oxygen output channel and to direct the flow of oxygen enriched air to the user compartment, localized volume.
