• Abstract:
  Implementation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology enables aircraft to broadcast, receive and display a number of aircraft parameters that were not previously available to pilots. While significant research has been conducted regarding Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) display format, there is little research to assess the impact this additional information would have on pilot response to Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II (TCAS II) Traffic Advisory (TA)/Resolution Advisory (RA) events. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of providing directionality information for traffic symbols on a TCAS traffic display during a TA/RA event. This issue is particularly relevant for shared TCAS/CDTI displays. The study supported the development of CDTI performance standards through RTCA, Inc.
