Trust-Based Analysis of an Air Force Collision Avoidance System

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA631871 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This case study analyzes the factors that influence trust and acceptance among users in this case, test pilots of the Air Forces Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System. Our analyses revealed that test pilots trust depended on a number of factors, including the development of a nuisance free algorithm, designing fly-up evasive maneuvers consistent with a pilots preferred behavior, and using training to assess, demonstrate, and verify the systems reliability. These factors are consistent with the literature on trust in automation and could lead to best practices for automation design, testing, and acceptance.
