2C2-1 Study on methodology to guide appropriate airport traffic management in unsteady situation.

Improving Situation Awareness In Traffic Management

Information overload is a severe problem for operators of large-scale control systems, as such systems typically provide a vast amount of information about a large number of real-world objects. Systems supporting situation awareness have recently gained attention as way to help operators to grasp the overall meaning of available information. To fulfill this task, data quality has to be ensured ...

Situation Awareness in Traffic Management Control Rooms

Airport Surface Traffic Automation

• Because of a steady increase in air traffic, the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has instituted a number of programs that are designed to improve safety, reduce delays, and lessen workload intensity for air traffic controllers. The Airport Surface Traffic Automation (ASTA) program, which represents only a small portion of the total FAA effort, uses new tec...

Active Traffic Management Case Study: Phase 1

Optimizing Online Situation Awareness Probes in Air Traffic Management Tasks

We examined the effectiveness of situation awareness probe questions in predicting sector performance and behavior in a human-in-the-loop simulation air traffic management (ATM) simulation with low (50%) and high (75%) traffic densities. Probes were presented online during the performance of the air traffic management task, and the accuracy and response latencies were measured. Hierarchical lin...
