CARIC (Consortium for Aerospace Research and Innovation in Canada) funded project, OPR 706 entitled_x000D_
"Measuring Pilot Fatigue to Manage Pilot Performance". A proposal made to CARIC for the second phase by_x000D_
Conair, Camosun College, the University of British Columbia, Okanagan (UBC) and a local aircraft telemetry_x000D_
company Latitude Technologies has already been approved (PLE-P-1652). The NSERC proposal is to support_x000D_
Adapting Wearable Technology to monitor Pilot Fatigue by Camosun, its faculty and students in this upcoming_x000D_
high-profile venture._x000D_
Conair Group Inc., a Canadian company based in Abbotsford BC, is the world's largest privately owned_x000D_
business dedicated to the wildfire aviation sector. Conair employs a team of 270 people and has been in_x000D_
business for over 45 years. Conair has a "Target Zero" safety approach and has taken a proactive approach in_x000D_
researching ways to monitor pilot fatigue and is planning on utilizing the outcome of this project to update their_x000D_
Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS)._x000D_
In the earlier work carried out by Camosun, a link between Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - the variation in the_x000D_
time interval between heartbeats - and physiological stress of the pilots, during various flight activities, was_x000D_
discovered. The goals of this proposed research work are to i) identify the most appropriate wearable device to_x000D_
monitor pilots in-flight, ii) develop a testing protocol, iii) train the pilots on the use of wearable device and_x000D_
other supporting hardware/software, iv) monitor the pilots during firefighting season, v) analyze the data_x000D_
gathered in post-firefighting season and vi) develop and validate an app-based pilot fatigue indicator._x000D_
The outcome of this proposed project is anticipated to add significantly to the limited body of knowledge_x000D_
around non-typical aircraft operations, while at the same time, providing an excellent and unique applied_x000D_
learning opportunity for Camosun students, faculty and staff., program purpose french : This applied research project builds on a recent collaboration between Camosun and Conair Group Inc. on a_x000D_
