THE USE OF EYE TRACKING IN AVIATION

Abstract

Eye movement tracking technology, known as eye tracking, has been gaining increasing attention in recent years in the aviation industry. Its applications range from analysing pilots' attention and cognitive load to optimising cockpit design and improving in-flight safety. This paper explores the various uses of eye tracking in aviation, including its use in pilot training, cognitive load monitoring, cockpit design, and improving the interaction between automated systems and humans. The aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive view of the benefits and challenges associated with this technology in the aviation industry.
