Abstract
There is provided a research framework system. For example, in some implementations there is provided a sleep prediction system for pilots including a first data structure storing collected research data related to pilot sleep patterns, a second data structure storing data related to a flight schedule associated with a pilot, and a sleep prediction module configured to access the data stored in the first and second data structures and calculate, by one or more processors using the data stored in the first data structure, a likelihood that the pilot associated with the flight schedule stored in the second data structure is sleeping at a given time.
Claims20
A method executed by at least one processor of a flight management system, the method comprising:
- receiving over a network analytical data related to one or more study participants, wherein the analytical data includes data automatically collected by one or more actigraph sensors worn by one or more aircraft pilots;
- receiving one or more reference profiles including data associated with one or more pilot profiles related to each of the one or more aircraft pilots, wherein each pilot profile includes pilot experience data comprising a cumulative number of flight hours and a cumulative number of landings of a corresponding pilot;
- determining, by the flight management system and for each pilot, a predicted pilot performance by conducting iterative fatigue analysis on the analytical data and data contained in the one or more reference profiles;
- and
- automatically assigning one or more of the aircraft pilots to a flight in a flight schedule based on results of the predicted pilot performance.
A flight management system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and a data store coupled to the at least one processor having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving over a network analytical data related to one or more study participants, wherein the analytical data includes data automatically collected by one or more actigraph sensors worn by one or more aircraft pilots;
- receiving one or more reference profiles including data associated with one or more pilot profiles related to each of the one or more aircraft pilots, wherein each pilot profile includes pilot experience data comprising a cumulative number of flight hours and a cumulative number of landings of a corresponding pilot;
- determining, for each pilot, a predicted pilot performance by conducting iterative fatigue analysis on the analytical data and data contained in the one or more reference profiles;
- and
- automatically assigning one or more of the aircraft pilots to a flight in a flight schedule based on results of the predicted pilot performance.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and a data store coupled to the at least one processor having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving over a network analytical data related to one or more study participants, wherein the analytical data includes data automatically collected by one or more actigraph sensors worn by one or more aircraft pilots;
- receiving one or more reference profiles including data associated with one or more pilot profiles related to each of the one or more aircraft pilots, wherein each pilot profile includes pilot experience data comprising a cumulative number of flight hours and a cumulative number of landings of a corresponding pilot;
- determining, for each pilot, a predicted pilot performance by conducting iterative fatigue analysis on the analytical data and data contained in the one or more reference profiles;
- and
- automatically assigning one or more of the aircraft pilots to a flight in a flight schedule based on results of the predicted pilot performance.
