This report discusses the use of situation knowledge as a means to enhance the recognition performance of commercially available automatic speech recognizers. A cognitive model of the ATC controller is proposed that continuously observes the present situation and generates a prediction of the sentences the controller is most likely to say. The prediction is made available to the speech recogniz...

Contingency Plans for Air Traffic Management

We present two heuristics based on constraint technology that solve the problem of generating air traffic management contingency plans, which are used in the case of a catastrophic infrastructure failure within EUROCONTROL, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. Of the heuristics presented, one is based on constraintbased local search and tabu search, and the other one is a...

European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation Eurocontrol Eurocontrol Experimental Centre Evaluation of the Human Voice for Indications of Workload Induced Stress in the Aviation Environment

This report gives a literature review of stress analysis from the human voice. While a special focus is on workload-induced stress and the special treatment of the avionic environment, a general overview of the analysis of speech under stress using a broader definition of stress is given as well. We discuss definitions of stress and workload and point out the relation between stress and human s...
