Prospective Memory Performance in Simulated Air Traffic Control

Using Spatial Context to Support Prospective Memory in Simulated Air Traffic Control

OBJECTIVE The aim was to examine whether prospective memory error and response costs to ongoing tasks in an air traffic control simulation could be reduced by providing spatial context. BACKGROUND Prospective memory refers to remembering to perform an intended action at an appropriate point in the future. Failures of prospective memory can occur in air traffic control. METHOD For this study...

Workload State Classification With Automation During Simulated Air Traffic Control

Real-time operator workload assessment and state classification may be useful for decisions about when and how to dynamically apply automation to information processing functions in aviation systems. This research examined multiple cognitive workload measures, including secondary task performance and physiological (cardiac) measures, as inputs to a neural network for operator functional state c...

Safety Culture in Air Traffic Management: Air Traffic Control

In a joint research project – Human Factors in Air Navigation Services, HUFA – between the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration and Lund University the focus is on human and organizational factors and safety in air traffic control. The Swedish Air Navigation Services (ANS) are undergoing major organizational changes in order to adapt to changing demands on efficiency and technical development ...

Planning in Air Traffic Control

Dialogues in Air Traffic Control

We have taken an off-the-shelf, commercial continuous speech recogniser and conducted evaluations for the domain of Air Traffic Control. The language of this domain proved to be quite unrestricted, contrary to our initial intuitions. Our experiments show that constraints typically used by speech recognisers do not provide accurate enough results and need to be augmented with other knowledge sou...
