The Aerospace SYStems Engineering and Transportation (ASYST) lab at the University of Arkansas focuses to develop innovative strategies and tools to model systems and enhance safety within the aerospace and next-generation transportation sectors. To achieve this goal, the lab leverages concepts from aerospace systems engineering, aviation psychology, and computer science. Their approach is grounded in data-driven methodologies, systems modeling, and the application of human factors principles.
Aerospace Systems Engineering
Integration of complex systems for aircraft and spacecraft, with a focus on enhancing safety and optimizing operations.
Aviation Safety Analysis
Analysis of accident and incident data using accident modeling methods, text and data mining, and machine learning techniques.
Next-Generation Transportation
Development of solutions and standards for the implementation of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) such as, drones and air taxis into the current infrastructure.
Human Factors
Conducting surveys, interviews, flight simulator experiments with pilots and other stakeholders to understand the role of human factors in systems safety.
