Description of the research topic:
Problems in Focus: Regarding the mutual dynamic relationship between man-machine-environment settings in aviation the weakest chain is the human factor, analysis of flight safety factors influencing the actual performance and working capacity of the pilot is a must. To interrupt the chainlink ending in air accident a systemic approach is necessary, considering the selection of the best applicants, their regular medical assessment for fitness for flight, mental and physical performance enhancement, continuous development of Human-System Integration and cockpit ergonomic elements. New medical evaluation of stress tolerance with new protocols in ground based simulation is very important.
Target competencies and primary research goals: Analysis of Human Factor’s role in aviation especially considering the aeromedical stress assessment.. Development of new effective „real-time” biomedical monitoring for cardiovascular adaptive responses. Assessment of predicitive validity for selection processes through analysis of stress tolerance. Comprehension of psychic and cognitive regenerative capibility after air accidents/medical treatment (medication). Stress level limitation by preventive measures in altitude physiology and ergonomy related technologies. Protocol development and test execution in ground-based simulated aeromedical stressor situation, preparing for real flight data recordings.
