ACROSS objectives
ACROSS studies the impact of new
technologies and novel interaction solutions
to develop Avionic architectures that provide
maximum benefits to the crew.
These technologies aim to improve safety
and reduce accident risk through the
reduction of workload and stress.

ACROSS pillars
The structure of the project identifies
6 main pillars.
4 pillars focus on the crew tasks
which could be impacted by an
increment of stress and workload
in all phases of the flight.
CREW
They correspond to the 4 main
MONITORING
functions:
Aviate
Navigate
Communicate
Manage systems
The additional 2 pillars focus on
technologies which can help
monitor the crews workload at
any time, as well as temporarily
performing essential crew tasks,
and in the most extreme cases,
replacing the crew:

OBJECTIVE
Deliver a crew centric approach that addresses the
complexity of the relationship between task demand and
operator capacity in effectively managing workload.
METHODOLOGY
Develop an integrated concept that links the
functionality of HMI to the overall management
of the operation, including:
task performance of the crew;
the role of automation;
systemic dependencies.
This concept informs the design and validation
of innovative solutions in ACROSS.

short point of the active runway,
ATC asks if you are ready for
immediate take-off, because
there are several aircraft waiting
to depart behind you.

You are taking off from runway
25C. Runway 25L, parallel to
your runway and relatively

take-off.
The new HUD displays the Non-Transgression Zone, runway edges, runway track alignment and
traffic on other parallel departure runways.
You are not required to maintain visual contact with all aircraft in the area. You are not dependent
on the information provided by ATC to find them.
