Abstract:

This paper describes a process that is currently being applied to the

development and assessment of an advanced air traffic control (ATC) system, the

Center TRACON Automation System (CTAS). This process deviates from established

practices of ATC system development: iterative field testing is conducted early

in development rather than later during production, when such testing is

regarded as an implementation endpoint. Progressive human factors assessments

in the laboratory and at ATC field sites are conducted with retired and active

controllers. Development and assessment activities are tailored to accommodate

the specific requirements of each CTAS tool and ATC environment. CTAS is the

first US advanced ATC automation system of its scope and complexity to undergo

this type of development and assessment process.
