Abstract:

Future changes in the National Airspace System indicate a self-separation operational concept. This study examined the Air Traffic ; Control Specialist’s ability to maintain situation awareness and provide needed monitoring and separation functions under this concept. ; The study also provides an empirical evaluation of the effects of an enhanced display concept as a window on the existing air traffic ; control radar display. This window furnished the targeted altitude or heading of aircraft in a transitionary state. This information ; simulated that provided by a datalink from the aircraft flight management system in a future air traffic operation. The introduction of ; the enhanced display appeared to have some utility in aiding controllers in dealing with air traffic operating under self-separation. The ; enhanced display resulted in improvements in some air traffic control performance and situation awareness measures. Results suggest ; that further improvements in the enhanced display may better integrate it with the controller radar display. In addition, researchers ; recommend methods for measuring controller situation awareness in future air traffic control research.
