Abstract:

This document presents human factors issues that should be considered in the design and evaluation of air traffic ; control (ATC) systems and subsystems. It provides background material on the capabilities and limitations of humans as ; information processors and discusses issues in: ATC automation, computer-human interface, workstation design, workload ; and performance measurement, controller team formation and activities, and human factors testing and evaluation. The ; goal of this material is to help air traffic controllers and other operations specialists identify potential problems by ; alerting them to known design flaws and providing them with information as to why some design options may be undesirable ; or operationally unsuitable. This document presents design goals based on human factors principles, standards, and ; guidelines. Some of these design goals are idealistic in an ATC operational setting. They are presented so that the ; operations specialists can identify key human factors issues and understand the implications of compromises, and where ; they must be made.
