Next Generation Air Transportation Systems: Human-Automation Interaction and Organizational Risks
نویسنده
چکیده
Both the US and European Community are now undertaking major projects to double air traffic capacity. It is believed that this will demand a significant increase in automation and a redefinition of the human air traffic controller’s role to be that of a supervisor of the automation and an intelligent agent to make tactical decisions in off-normal situations. This paper discusses the associated issues of the envisioned human-automation interaction and the concomitant organizational complexity, primarily from a US perspective. It also suggests the envisioned approach to considering risks and designing a resilient humanmachine system.

Separation Assurance and Collision Avoidance Concepts for the Next Generation Air Transportation System
A review was conducted of separation assurance and collision avoidance operational concepts for the next generation air transportation system. The concepts can be distributed along two axes: the degree to which responsibility for separation assurance and collision avoidance is assigned to the controller verses the pilot(s), and the degree to which automation augments or replaces controller and ...
