Abstract

The problem of neglecting ergonomic factors on the aircraft cockpit layout design which leads to the pilots feeling tired very soon should be solved imminently. Since there are a lot of ergonomic constraints while there are hardly any algorithms to solve the problem, the particle swarm optimization is mentioned. Firstly, ergonomic geometric constraints and ergonomic space constraints are confirmed. Secondly, the objective function is confirmed based on the minimum Euclidean distance. Thirdly, to avoid local optimum, particle swarm optimization is used to find the best coordinate values of facilities. At last, the best values of different facilities are needed to be compromised by each other to confirm the most proper values for every facility and form the optimal scheme of designing the layout of aircraft cockpits.
