Abstract：The complex external light environment of the cockpit is prone to adverse effects on pilots,such as visual fatigue,altered behavior,physiological changes,and emotional responses.Improving driving comfort through an automatic dimming lighting system and ensuring flight safety is an important means to improve the ergonomic level of the cockpit.This article presents a comprehensive evaluation method for the usability of the cockpit lighting systems under typical external light environments.Four device parameter setting schemes are evaluated from the three dimensions of effectiveness,efficiency,and satisfaction.The analytic hierarchy process is used to calculate the importance weights of the four automatic dimming devices,namely displays,indicator lights,light guide plates,and floodlights,and the comprehensive usability score of the cockpit is obtained.The proposed method can realize the quantitative evaluation of the usability of the cockpit's automatic dimming lighting system,providing a foundation for the optimal design of the aircraft cockpit usability system.
