Simplex design for complex operations: an users-centred approach in aeronautics
Article No.: 19, Pages 1 - 8
Abstract
Many researches focused on systems design in interaction with dynamic processes. We call simplex, systems based on complex functionalities and simple concepts. In the aeronautical field, uncertainties coming from these interactions affect the complexity level of pilots' activity. Currently, there is no consensus on the way to grasp this complexity within dynamic processes. The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual model guiding the analysts' activity and the development of methods for the user-centred design of simplex systems. This model is based on a systemic approach and on a grounded analysis of the scientific literature and the ergonomic recommendations in aircraft cockpit design. The main parameters of the model exhibit the complexity through an environmental (internal and external) and interactionist perspective of activity.
