摘要

Human factors has been playing more and more predominant role in aviation. Pilot workload evaluation is one of the most important fields in human factors to make thorough research. Among the various workload measure techniques, it is generally recognized that workload evaluation measurement is hard to elaborate. In this paper, the definition of workload is based on time pressure and effort. The relationship between time pressure and effort is the main focus to help the selection of workload evaluation approach. The models of workload evaluation are respectively set up in time pressure and effort. Heart rate, respiration rate, respiration depth, eye tracker data and control data were obtained in the flight experiment called double hydraulic failure. By comparison with the result of workload evaluation in time pressure and effort, it can indicate that the workload evaluation should take time pressure and effort altogether into account under double hydraulic failure condition. Eventually, the analysis on the relationship between time pressure and effort enables to proceed the research of workload evaluation.
