Exploring Short-Term Training Effects of Ecological Interfaces: A Case Study in Air Traffic Control

In many work domains, the push toward higher levels of automation raises the concern of diminishing human expertise. Ecological interfaces could help operators in retaining and potentially even in acquiring expertise as they are hypothesized to lead to a deeper understanding of the work domain. This study explores the short-term impact of...

Ecological Interface Design: Training Air Traffic Control Novices in Conflict Detection and Resolution

Ecological Interface Design is an interface design framework developed for process control, and recently also in aviation. An example is the Solution Space Diagram, a visual decision-support tool for air traffic controllers in Conflict Detection and Resolution. Costly Air Traffic Control training with high drop-out rates spurs research to...
