Intent-Based Mode-Confusion Detection

  • Mode Confusion: Pilots become confused about the current and future status of the automation and interact it incorrectly => Many incidents and accidents have been caused by mode confusion

Proposed Architecture

Illustrative Example: “Kill-the-capture”

Inference of automation's intent

Inference of pilot's intent
