Abstract

Humans play an essential role in air transport safety. Yet the integration of Human Factors into design is not systematically comprehensive nor uniform. A Horizon Europe 2020 research project called SAFEMODE, aims to consolidate a HUman Risk-Informed Design (HURID) framework. Rather than take a piecemeal approach, focusing on either Human Factors, learning from incidents, or risk modelling, SAFEMODE integrates all of these into one framework for designers to use, whether developing improvements or new systems, and at varying stages of design from the early concept stage, to detailed design prior to deployment. One of the selected Case Studies supporting HURID validation is the design of a new Wake Vortex Air Traffic Alert for Cruise phase of flight. The paper presents the HURID application in support of the concept design.
