Ho, V. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In tele-operating an UAV human operators fully rely on cameras to control the vehicle from a distance. To increase operator situation awareness and reduce workload, a haptic feedback on the control stick has been developed which acts as an automatic collision avoidance system. A virtual force field surrounding the moving vehicle interacts with...conference paper 2017

Deerenberg, Ronald (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Borst, C. (author), Mulder, Max (author)For Ecological Interface Design (EID), the underlying constraints and properties of an operator’s work domain are analysed and used as a basis for the design of the information displays, so that these may reveal these underlying mechanisms. Most evaluations for EID have been performed with expert or trained participants. However, it can be...conference paper 2017

Reitsma, J.P. (author), Fucke, L. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)Non-normal events, in particular system failures with serious operational impact are rare in flight operations. These events are not always easy to handle by flight crews. The aim of the performed study is to determine where in this process potential issues may lie. Ten incident reports are studied using a newly developed operational issue...conference paper 2017

IJtsma, Martijn (author), Borst, C. (author), Mercado Velasco, G.A. (author), Mulder, Max (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)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...conference paper 2017

Borst, C. (author), Bijsterbosch, V.A. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Future air traffic control will have to rely on more advanced automation to support human controllers in their job of safely handling increased traffic volumes. A prerequisite for the success of such automation is that the data driving it are reliable. Current technology, however, still warrants human supervision in coping with (data)...journal article 2017

Abdul Rahman, S.M.B. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Air traffc controller workload is an important impediment to air transport growth. Several approaches exist that aim to better understand the causes for workload, and models have been derived to predict workload in new operational settings. These methods often relate workload to the diffculty, or complexity, that an average controller would have...journal article 2016

van Lochem, S. (author), Borst, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be used to access remote areas, e.g., for surveillance missions. Collaboration between them can help overcome communication constraints by building airborne relay networks that allow beyond line of sight communication. This research investigates whether a single human operator can supervise multiple UAVs in a...journal article 2016

Rahman, S.M.A. (author), Borst, C. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author)This research investigates the use of Solution Space Diagram (SSD) as a measure of sector complexity and also as a predictor of performance and workload, focusing on the scenarios regarding Air Traffic Controller (ATCO)’s ability to detect future conflicts. A human-in-the-loop experiment with varying intercept angle within the same sector layout...journal article 2015

Mercado Velasco, G.A. (author), Borst, C. (author)Several studies have investigated Air Traffic Control (ATC) complexity metrics in a search for a metric that could best capture workload. These studies have shown how daunting the search for a universal workload metric (one that could be applied in different contexts: sectors, traffic patterns, controllers, or ATC tasks) can be. We propose that...conference paper 2015

The simulations consisted of participants repeatedly playing a specific en route traffic scenario. Conflict solution performance and consistency was measured by analysing participant...conference paper 2015

Pinto, J. (author), Klomp, R.E. (author), Borst, C. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)The concept of trajectory-based operations as proposed by SESAR and NextGen seeks to increase airspace efficiency and capacity by introducing time as an explicit control variable. Such form of operations lean heavily on the introduction of higher levels of automation to support the human air traffic controller in performing this new task. In...conference paper 2015

Mertens, M. (author), Damveld, H.J. (author), Borst, C. (author)In many cockpits, control display units (CDUs) are vital input and information devices. In order to improve the usability of these devices, Barco, in cooperation with TU-Delft, created a touch screen control unit (TSCU), consisting of a high-quality multi-touch screen. The unit fits in the standard dimensions of a conventional CDU and is thus...conference paper 2012

Unfortunately, because unpredictable individual aircraft behavior lead to increased landing intervals for this procedure, it is currently only applied during night time operations.

(author)The usage of heads-down, non-conformal synthetic vision displays for landings below minimums has inherent problems during the flare due to minification effects. Literature showed that pilots can use four visual cues to perform a manual flare maneuver. Amongst their strategies, the Jacobson flare method seemed the most suitable to provide flare...conference paper 2010
