Standardization of the Cabin Human Machine
Interface
23/01/08 WAEA TC Meeting Burbank
Goals
Standardization of the Cabin Human Machine Interface in order to
• increase the user acceptance
• increase the acceptance of the authorities
• reduce the training effort for airlines
• reduce the testing effort for the aircraft manufacturer
• reduce the development effort

by
• design of consistent screen layouts
• definition of consistent work flows
!
Focus in a first step on
touch screen devices
• definition of a consistent wording
• design of a consistent Look & Feel across different systems

HMI Examples
Airbus Cabin Management
Airbus Digital Cabin
System
Logbook
Thales IFE System
Panasonic IFE System
Standardization of HMI
Layout
Amongst other
• Graphical elements shall be aligned to a grid which
shall be maintained throughout the HMI of the application/device
• The screen shall be divided into areas provided for specific purposes
E. g.: content area, navigation area, title area
Example:
optional navigation

title area
Navigation area
Standardization of HMI
Complexity
Amongst other
• Navigation hierarchy (menu structure) shall be of minimal complexity
• Number of different graphical elements shall be minimized
• Same function shall have the same appearance
E. g.: a Button shall always have the same size and appearance clearly
discriminable from other graphical elements
Example for graphical element diversity:

Standardization of HMI
Design rules
Text and characters
• Alignment of text (left/right/center) shall be used consistently all over the HMI
• The number of different character sizes and styles shall be kept to a minimum
• Upper/lower case shall be used consistently
• Only one sans-serif font shall be used
Spacing
• Spacing between and within graphical elements (E. g. the text or icon
on a Button) shall be appropriately

Colors
• The number of colors shall be kept to a minimum
• Contrast and saturation shall be used appropriately
• Specific colors (E. g. red/green) shall be used according to the policies of the
aircraft manufacturer
Standardization of HMI
Wording
• Wording shall be used consistently all over the HMI
• Aircraft specific terms and abbreviations shall be used according to

a standard catalog
Standardization of HMI
Definition of reusable assembled structures
The HMI is mostly composed of reusable assembled structures
which shall have a constant layout and Look & Feel throughout the
HMI of the application/device
Amongst others these structures are
•Scrollable lists of text composed of Buttons, a List, and a Scrollbar (e. g.)
•Virtual keyboards and other complex virtual input devices

•Dialogs (e. g. the login dialog, message boxes with confirmation Buttons)
