Quality of unmanned aerial vehicles: ergodesign aspect

Volodymyr Kharchenko, Anatolii Rubtsov, Volodymyr Svirko, Irina Zhudova

Abstract


In the modern world, scientific and practical ergodesign activity on the development and use of drones, the concept of "human factor" is becoming more and more important. It is one of the main studies in improving the safety, efficiency and comfort of the "man - unmanned aerial vehicle" system operation. The most promising research is aimed at the application and development of new approaches to the evaluation of algorithms for unmanned aircraft maintenanceand the organization of their operators` activities.

The system of unmanned aerial vehicles ergodesign quality indicators developed and presented in a tabular form reflects practically all design and ergonomic properties of modern unmanned aerial systems. It is based on the existing normative documentation in Ukraine developed by the authors, harmonized with international and European standards. It allows the analysis and evaluation of unmanned aerial vehicles in order to take into account consumer interests at the beginning of their design reducing the assimilation time of products and preventing irrational production costs.

The results of such an analysis underlie the development of technical documentation, standards, and specifications. They should be taken into account when putting products into production.
