• Abstract:
  This report provides baseline measurements on the Display System Replacement (DSR). These measurements followed six constructs: ; safety, capacity, performance, workload, usability, and simulation fidelity. To collect these measurements, human factors researchers ; conducted an air traffic control simulation using four sectors of Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) airspace with a ; traffic volume representing a 90th percentile day. Ten controllers from Washington ARTCC served as participants in the study. ; Recordings and questionnaires provided objective and subjective measurements such as the number of aircraft controlled and controller ; workload. This report provides statistics at several levels of specificity: aggregated across all sectors and positions, by individual ; sectors and positions, and by 12-minute intervals. We intend that data from the study will provide a meaningful representation of the ; DSR controller position. In addition, this report compares these data to equivalent data collected on the Plan View Display, the ; equipment that the DSR replaces. We discuss several differences between the systems and provide recommendations for improvements ; to the baseline process.
