Adaptive Automation Based on Air Traffic Controller Decision-Making

Through smart scheduling and triggering of automation support, adaptive automation has the potential to balance air traffic controller workload. The challenge in the design of adaptive automation systems is to decide how and when the automation should provide support. This paper describes the design of a novel mechanism for adaptively invoking...

Analysis of Air Traffic Controller Workload Reduction Based on the Solution Space for the Merging Task

Air traffic controller workload is considered to be an important limiting factor to the growth of air traffic. The difficulty of an air traffic control task can be analyzed through examining the problem’s solution space, that is, all possible vector commands that satisfy the constraints of safety, productivity and efficiency. But apart from...
