ODICIS - One Display for a Cockpit Interactive Solution
Overview
Background & policy context:
This project addresses three current major aeronautics needs: system architecture flexibility, useful surface optimisation and information continuity. Therefore the project will improve operational safety and efficiency while reducing aircraft development costs.
Objectives:
- To prove the technical feasibility of an avionics single large seamless display
- To reach a Technology Readiness Level of 3-4 for the display, which implies performing the following laboratory validation:
- Basic performance
- Performance under critical environment
- Comply with avionics required safety
- To deepen and review the concepts of use at the origin of the single display cockpit.
- To share the ideas of the ODICIS project within the aeronautics industry.
- To consider the outlook for product development.
The first objective was to prove the technical feasibility of an avionics large seamless display, which can potentially be curved. This involved optical but also graphics generation challenges. The design of the display took into account as much as possible user wishes and aircraft possibilities.
Once the display was made available, the proper means of interaction were defined and implemented. At this point, a complete technological mock-up of a single display cockpit was made available.
Meanwhile, the concepts of use that stimulated the idea of a single display cockpit were reviewed, deepened and tested on the mock-up. Human factors evaluations sought to ascertain the safety and efficiency gains produced by this novel cockpit concept based on use of a single display.
Methodology:
The ODICIS project methodology was to develop a single display cockpit associated with adequate means of interaction. The concept of use of such a display was investigated and followed by Human-Machine Interface development.
