Advanced Cockpit for Reduction Of StreSs and workload (ACROSS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Outstanding safety level of air transport is partly due to the two pilots standard. However situations where difficult flight conditions, system failures or cockpit crew incapacitation lead to peak workload conditions.The amount of information and actions to process may then exceed the crew capacity. Systems alleviating crew workload would improve safety.ACROSS Advanced Cockpit for Reduction of St ...

Cost-Effective Tools for Better Indoor Environment in Retrofitted Energy Efficient Buildings (CETIEB)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The refurbishing to an energy efficient standard leads to tight buildings (whole envelope: windows, walls, etc.) and affects the indoor climate. In case of refurbishing the inhabitants or users are not adapted to this new situation. Therefore the air exchange rates could be lower than required if no mechanical ventilation is installed or the system performance is not optimised. Then, in trying to ...
