Development of Guidelines on the Use of Color Solution for Electronic Indication Systems When Designing Human–Machine Interface of Civil Aircraft Objects

Abstract

The article is devoted to improve the flight safety of civil aviation objects by creating and applying recommendations for choosing a color solution for the main graphic information of a human–machine interface (HMI) based on a color design criterion. The ergonomic combination of color pairs plays a major role in HMI design. Considering that up to 7 different text colors can be used in HMI development, it is necessary to choose the main background in such a way that all applicable elements for the task are visible on it. When choosing a text color, it should be considered that the text should be clearly visible on the interface, should not cause irritating feelings for the user, and have a positive effect on the psychological pressure of the crew. The use of the described method when developing the visual design of the civil aircraft HMI will reduce the time spent to perform the required tasks, reduce the workload on the crew, thereby increase flight safety, and provide a competitive advantage of the developed system.
