Thales AVS has launched an internal project, supported by major airlines, to develop a solution for in-flight data collection and ground tools for post-flight analysis of crew members' fatigue, sleepiness, and sleep. Through collaboration with air operators, the solution has been validated and refined, providing a much-needed tool for fatigue risk management and advancing towards single pilot operations.
Thales AVS has launched an internal project to develop a solution for in flight data collection and ground tools allowing post-flight analysis of fatigue, sleepiness and sleep of crew members. This solution is developed with support from major airlines. Thirty flights have already been done and collected data show a real interest from air operators to get objective information. This confirms one of the main assumption that subjective measures are not sufficient to have an accurate and reliable evaluation of fatigue, sleepiness and sleep. Such efficient monitoring is a much needed trustworthy tool for Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) and an unavoidable first step towards Single Pilot Operations (SPO), even in cruise. Thanks to these collaborations with air operators, Thales AVS has developed a better understanding of how air operators manage fatigue risks and safety of flight operations and refined its crew monitoring technology for fatigue.
