Experimental Study of Situation-Adaptive Human-Automation Collaboration for Takeoff Safety

Abstract This paper investigates usefulness of dynamic and flexible allocation of authority for decision and control during takeoffofan aircraft. Even though one of the authors' previous mathematical analysis claims that the authority should be exchanged between humans and automated systems depending on situations, it is not obvious whether human pilots are willing to accept the trading of authority. This paper givesan experimental study for the efficacy ofsuch situation-adaptive autonomy
