Application: Method and system for pilot support (Patent ID: US20240212365A1)
The patent filed by Raytheon Technologies Corp. describes a biometric sensing system for an aircraft cockpit that includes an infrared camera, infrared illuminators, and a CPU. The system is designed to monitor the alertness level of flight crew members based on biometric characteristics such as posture, eye gaze movement, and head position. The infrared camera captures image data of the upper body region of the crew members, which is then processed by the CPU to determine their alertness level. If the alertness level falls below a threshold, an alerting module can be triggered to produce an alert either in the cockpit or outside.
Additionally, the system can include multiple infrared cameras and illuminators to monitor multiple crew members simultaneously. The CPU can record the alertness levels of crew members over time and communicate this data to an external data collection location. The system can also incorporate biometric sensors to measure pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, blood oxygen level, and blood pressure of the crew members. Overall, the system provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and ensuring the alertness of flight crew members during flights, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
