Exploration of the relationship between eye-motion metrics and pilot fatigue on duty in passive fatigue scenario with sleep deprivation
Researchers at UNSW are conducting a project about exploring effective eye-motion metrics to indicate pilot’s fatigue (microsleeps and attention lapses) on duty in passive fatigue scenario.
The research study is looking recruit people who meet the following criteria:
- 18 years of age or older;
- Have pilot license (SPL, PPL or CPL) or are you a pilot student;
- Usually sleep at night and awake during the day;
- Have normal vision;
- Do not wear glasses during the experiment.
Participants meeting the following criteria will be excluded from the study:
- Have any diseases or disorder related to sleep;
- Have any diseases or disorder related to eyes.
Participants will be asked to complete the following research activities if they agree to participate:
- Get fitted to eye-tracking system and practice experiment instrument for 20 min under well-rested condition (sleep at least 8 hours) on day 1;
- Operate an aircraft simulator for 1 hour under sleep deprivation condition (sleep less than 5 hour before coming to experiment) at Bankstown Airport, UNSW, as well as answer several fatigue-related questions on day 2.
Participants will receive a $80 Coles/Myer voucher as a reimbursement for taking part in the
research. A $50 Uber voucher will be also provided as transport support for the sleep-deprivation session.
