NASA’s Flight Deck Display Research Laboratory recently investigated air traffic automation designed to alleviate groundside workload in high traffic environments. This paper examines the data from post-experiment debriefings. We found that pilots are comfortable reviewing automated conflict resolutions, as well as modifying those resolutions before execution. The pilots were less comfortable w...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to provide preliminary results on a traffic coordination framework based stochastic task allocation. General trends and the predicted advent personal aerial vehicles increase rapidly, but current air management methods admittedly cannot scale appropriately. A hierarchical system proposed overcome problem, middle layer which elaborated in paper. This aims enable...

We examined the effectiveness of situation awareness probe questions in predicting sector performance and behavior in a human-in-the-loop simulation air traffic management (ATM) simulation with low (50%) and high (75%) traffic densities. Probes were presented online during the performance of the air traffic management task, and the accuracy and response latencies were measured. Hierarchical lin...

This paper describes an initial human-in-the-loop part-task study on service providerbased automated separation assurance for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The study varied levels of trajectory-based separation assurance automation from manual trial planning to fully automated conflict resolution over 1x, 2x and 3x traffic densities. The experiment was conducted in th...

Air Traffic Management (ATM) represents a domain of emerging and challenging applications of MINLP. A number of problems arising in ATM lead naturally to optimization problems whose efficient and reliable solution constitutes a key ingredient to ensure air traffic safety [11]. The air-traffic level currently attained in Europe is around tens of thousands of flights per day, and it is expected t...

With the forecast increase in air traffic demand over the next decades, it is imperative to develop tools to provide traffic flow managers with the information required to support decision making. In particular, decision-support tools for traffic flow management should aid in limiting controller workload and complexity, while supporting increases in air traffic throughput. Indeed, the growth of...

OBJECTIVE The aim is to establish the extent to which the high false-alarm rate of air traffic control midair conflict alerts is responsible for a "cry wolf' effect-where true alerts are not responded to and all alerts are delayed in their response. BACKGROUND Some aircraft collisions have been partly attributed to the cry wolf effect, and in other domains (health care and systems monitoring)...

In order to keep safety of air traffic, ENRI (Electronic Navigation Research Institute) tries to improve CA (Conflict Alert) function by using airborne information via Mode S datalink. CA supports air traffic controller to keep safe separations between aircraft by predicting aircraft positions and detecting potential conflicts. Our purpose of this study is to develop the new DAPs-CDM (Conflict ...
