Benefits Assessment Methodology for an Air Traffic Control Tower Advanced Automation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a benefits assessment methodology for an air traffic control tower advanced automation system called the Tower Flight Data Manager (TFDM), which is being considered for development by the FAA to support NextGen operations. The standard FAA benefits analysis methodology is described, together with how it has been tailored to the TFDM application to help inform the development process and the business case for system deployment. Parts of the methodology are illustrated through data analysis and modeling, and insights are presented to help prioritize TFDM capability development.

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...
متن کاملReal-Time Assessment of Situation Awareness of Air Traffic Control Specialists On Operational Host Computer System and Display System Replacement Hardware
Improving the current Air Traffic Control (ATC) system with new technologies such as decision support systems (DSTs) is necessary to accommodate continued growth in air traffic. These new technologies will potentially move ATC Specialists (ATCSs) from tactical to more strategic control. How this change will affect ATCS situation awareness (SA) is unknown. To assess SA real-time on operational h...

متن کاملAnalysis of work patterns as a foundation for human- automation communication in multiple remote towers
Implicit communication and higher levels of automation will be more important in the future multiple remote towers, in order to make the work of the Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) more efficient. However, the ATCO still needs to be in the control loop to make critical decisions. Human-automation collaboration requires teamwork, based on common ground and implicit communication. To design automat...
متن کاملAutomation Tools for Enhancing Ground-operation Situation Awareness and Flow Efficiency
In view of the ever-increasing air traffic, much attention in air-traffic-management research has been given to improving arrival and departure efficiency. As air traffic begins and ends at the airport, the issues of taxi delays and ground-operation incursions become more pressing. This paper considers the surface-traffic problem at major airports and envisions a collaborative traffic and aircr...
