The use of augmented reality in aviation is a result of a constant effort of increasing aviation safety. The idea of augmented reality is commonly used in form of a Head-Up Display or is in testing as a Head-Worn Display (HWD) technology. HWD is a display unit attached directly to the user which implies that its most commonly in form of a helmet or glasses, specifically smart glasses. The projection of augmented reality into a visual field of a user in aviation department is undoubtedly a step forward, but the limitation of these imaging systems is the absence of an analysis of ergonomics of the display of selected data in the field of view. Presented project is focused on removing the above mentioned limitations and designing a concept layout of flight and navigation data from the primary flight display, in terms of both graphical and spatial, respecting the perceptual possibilities of the visible field of the user. The aim is to develop augmented reality software design and to verify HWD application. The software will be implemented in open-source smart glasses, and the way the flight and navigation data will be displayed will be designed with a view to maximize the usability of the presented data.

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.

The entire aviation is increasingly dependent on good economic decisions when even a small mistake can mean the end of the airline company. From this point of view, small aviation is in even worse situation, while there are not large numbers of passengers, or large volume of cargo into which could be costs split. At present, however, the supervising authorities, together with other relevant governmental agencies and international organizations starting to look up to small aviation. The basis for the promotion and development of general aviation must be an effort to reduce costs for both important aviation stakeholders - aerodrome operators and aircraft operators. Opportunity to meet this support arises thanks to the use of constantly evolving GNSS systems, which can provide cost savings to the system infrastructure approach. In this project we focus on providing additional cost savings by proposing a new type of approach to land for small aerodromes that will use GNSS signal for the approach. This approach must be created by adapting existing types of approach and must ensure two basic conditions. The first one is to have larger area of implementation (at more aerodromes) than any of currently existing types of approach and the other one is to ensure at least the same level of safety.

The aim of the project is to develop methodological and software tools that use the safety indicators for safety management and safety performance management of aviation organizations. Safety indicators will be used for assessment and safety management of processes within the internal needs of aviation organizations and provision of sufficient oversight the industry regulator (the Civil Aviation Authority Czech Republic - CAA) with regard to the sensitivity of the information and data provided by aviation organizations. Complex structure of indicators including reactive, proactive and strategic will be developed to measure the operational safety of aviation organizations. Different types of indicators together with their mutual interactions will provide a comprehensive model of safety risks for the organizations. It will be possible to obtain more precise safety recommendations than when considering each indicator separately. Indicators will be defined in a way to be able to monitor the causes of accidents and incidents, but also the degree of changes in the safety management and safety culture of organizations concerned.

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.

Provision of Supply Chain Security has been a key logistic issue in the past decades. Its rise is being initiated by governments and global companies on one hand, and concerned entrepreneurial subjects on the other hand. Governments try to provide strategic security, which can be violated by illegal migration, smuggling, sabotages, military support of dubious organizations and terrorist acts. The interest of manufacturers and trade organizations is the effective optimalization and minimalization of delays caused by additional security provision. The effective optimalization also lies in introducing commonly shared standards against theft during transportation and other logistical operations. Regional governments (EU, U.S., Asia) have created their own tools represented by a portfolio of compulsory and voluntary security programmes and initiatives. Currently, there is a compatibility process on the international level in terms of these programmes. Hence, important scientific contributio

One important area of aviation, which is not unfortunately adequately secured with rules, is the post of Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS). These services are an integral part of the uncontrolled aerodromes. AFIS ensure safety by providing information services. Although it is an uncontrolled aerodrome, where flies small and private aircrafts, there is, especially in nice weather, heavy traffic. Information service, however, can only be provided for aircraft known to AFIS officer. Here we encounter the problem of unknown traffic, about which is AFIS not informed and cannot further inform surrounding aircrafts, which increases the risk of collision. Introduction of a new system for AFIS can increase operational safety on aerodrome. In this project we focus on all aerodromes with AFIS, for which it will be possible to assess the operational safety, using the developed methodology for assessing the impact of AFIS unit on safety at small aerodromes.

Safety is now considered as the highest priority in aviation. New approach is based on perception of safety as a process that has the same importance as any other process in aviation organization. It helps significantly to achieve operational objectives associated with provision of services by all aviation stakeholders. Implementation of safety management ensures aviation organizations in process of continual improvement. In this project we focus on small international airports which need to implement new operation rules according to requirements of EU as well as current safety conditions. Our research will help airports to meet required safety standards. It will improve safety process procedures linked to that part of aviation, which is currently most vulnerable to emergence of safety incidents. The basis of this part of research is to create methodology of safety management and safety indicators leading to quantitative measurement of safety. In case of security our research aims at

The scope of the project is to use object-oriented systems analysis and UML (Unified Modeling Language) to improve the safety, security and quality of process procedures linked to air passenger and cargo transportation at international airports (hereinafter referred to as process procedures). The basis of the project is to create an UML model of process procedures, analyze them and find weaknesses. The second part of the project is focused on creating process handbooks and manuals using UML, and a methodology for production of such handbooks and manuals. In another part of the project the investigators deal with the proposal of system changes and information system that would eliminate weaknesses. Finally, the project focuses on the modeling of procedures in crisis situations that may arise during process procedures. Within the scope of the project the investigators will in detail acquaint with all the process procedures under examination. The research will take the form of manuals a
