Air Traffic Control as a Distributed Cognitive System: a study of external representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an early approach to understanding current air traffic control (ATC) systems. The analysis is based on a distributed cognition analysis of the representations present in air traffic control, and their distribution, manipulation, and propagation through the ATC system. The work is being carried out as part of the Esprit Mefisto project, and has as an eventual aim the exploration of user interface requirements concerned with safety and usability.

Designing Distributed Task Performance in Safety-Critical Systems Equipped With Mobile Devices
This paper describes a method aiming to support the design of interactive-safety critical systems. The method proposes an original integration of approaches usually considered separately, such as task modelling and distributed cognition. The basic idea is that analysing task performance requires a clear understanding of the information needed to accomplish the task and how to derive such inform...
متن کاملDevelopment of a strategic plan through SWOT analysis to control traffic-borne air pollutants using CALINE4 model
Traffic is one of the main sources of air pollution in metropolitan areas. With development of transportation system, inappropriate vehicle production, and the use of low-quality fuels, increased pollution in these areas is inevitable. The current study tries to determine PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and CO emission dispersion, caused by traffic, using CALINE4 software. Ac...

Background and aim: Air traffic control has known as a complex cognitive task, which requires controller to focus on task for long time. Mental workload plays an important role in the performance of controllers. The aim of this study was to assess the workload of air traffic controller on the basis of task load factors. Methods: The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted among fo...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Internal and External Information in a Problem-Solving Task
In these studies I examine the role of distributed cognition in problem solving. The major hypothesis explored is that intelligent behavior results from the interaction of internal cognition, external objects, and other people, where a distributed cognitive task can be represented as a set of modules, some internal and some external. The Tower of Hanoi problem is used as a concrete example for ...
متن کاملStudy of seasonal and spatial variability among Benzene, Toluene, and p-Xylene (BTp-X) in ambient air of Delhi, India
This study was carried out to analyze the variations of Benzene, Toluene, and para- Xylene (BTp-X) present in the urban air of Delhi. These pollutants can enter into the human body through various pathways like inhalation, oral and dermal exposure posing adverse effects on human health. Keeping in view of the above facts, six different locations of Delhi were selected for the study during summe...
