The presented project deals with real-time assessment of psychophysiological status of pilots. This could help to quickly identification of the workload impact on pilot during the flight. Due to the fact, that pilots are influenced by various stimuli (ambient, G-Forces, mental state etc.) during flight that can negatively affect the safety of the flight. There are already many scientific studies that deal with the psychophysiological assessment of pilots, but the measured physiological parameters are evaluated mostly after the measurement of the entire flight section. There are also studies in which the signal is evaluated in real time, but outside of the aviation field. In these studies, the most frequently used parameter for evaluating of psychophysiological status of respective subjects is heart rate or heart rate variability respectively, due to its distinctive ability to portray the effect of stimuli on the mental and physical state of the subject. Based on the above mentioned, the essence of the project is to assess the suitability and applicability of existing real-time biological signal processing methods. The aim of the project is, among other things, to use existing knowledge on which base the software solution to process measured physiological parameters (primarily heart rate) in real time will be designed. The measurement will be carried out on an air simulator at the Department of Air Transport of the Czech Technical University in Prague.

The aviation safety always comes first. This statement which is true to a greater extent must be constantly supported by three directions - regulations, training and technology. We can say that these directions are actually a defence against errors that happen while operating aircrafts. Enhancing safety through technology is the most difficult method but from an operational perspective and its contribution it is the best one. This suggested project that is using thermal imaging cameras for increasing the level of safety falls into this category. The main aim of this project is to increase the level of safety during the approach to VFR aerodromes by determining the correct angle of descent and the position of the runway by using thermal imaging cameras. We use the activity of thermal imaging cameras to identify points on the ground (on the aerodrome, around the runway) even in meteorological conditions when it is impossible to carry out approach and landing. By identifying these points on the display it could be possible to easily determine the runway location, we can also determine the aircraft position by calculations and set the aircraft to the correct descent angle (whether the aircraft is above or below the glide slope).

Increasing of safety is a proces that must be performed continuously. The basic approach is to eliminate the risk factors. The start of the elimination of these factors is the implementation of a functioning safety management system in aviation organizations. This obligation arises for all aviation organizations with new legislation which came into force in late 2013. But only the introduction of safety management system is not enough. It is necessary to watch out the procedures, evaluate and improve them and thanks to this increase the efficiency of aviation. One of the tools for successful functioning of safety management system is a system of safety indicators by which it is possible to quantitatively determine the level of safety. In this project we focuses at Risk based indicators, which are based on the idea of measuring the change in the overall risk of the operation that depends on the change in the risks of sub-processes. We will therefore analyze the possibility of creating, using and evaluating the benefits of risk based indicators implementation and their application to real traffic.

Reliability theory is the foundation of engineering practice in the field of reliability engineering system. Within this theory is possible prediction and research of reliability of components or systems before commissioning. Currently it is largely unknown how comprehensively evaluate the safety of aviation. Current trends suggest the use of safety indicators, but creation of this approach will take several years. In this project we focus on the possible use of quality methods of reliability theory for evaluating the operational safety of large aviation units - socio-technical systems, such as airports.The creation of such methods of assessment of operational safety will increase the overall level of aviation safety and helps identify failure of parts of the aviation system, thus minimizing losses.
