• Abstract:
  Implementation of NextGen improvements will require shifts in the roles and responsibilities of flightdeck, ATC and FOC personnel and that these changes will require the development of new flightdeck-ATC-FOC collaborative systems within the context of advanced automation and new procedures. In order to design and implement systems that will realize safety and efficiency benefits without introducing human factors problems or exceeding human performance limitations, research was needed to provide a framework for assessing future NextGen collaborative systems. These types of assessments would need to consider the human factors issues related to the various ways in which roles and responsibilities can be redistributed between collaborators including automated systems. The overall goal of performing such assessments is to ensure that the appropriate and effective collaborative arrangements are identified for implementation. This report provides a comprehensive review of current roles and responsibilities related to the interaction between flight deck, air traffic control (ATC) and flight operations center (FOC) and a framework for assessing future collaborative systems with the increased use of automation and technologies under NextGen operations. The framework for assessing changes in the roles and responsibilities of flightdeck, ATC, FOC and automation was developed from: 1. Literature and state-of-the-practice reviews. The focus is current interactions between flightdeck, ATC, FOC and automation as well as projected collaborations in NextGen applications. Product: Comprehensive Bibliography (Section 2 and Appendix F). 2. Analysis of roles and responsibilities of flight deck, ATC and FOC in current operations and their interaction/collaboration points. Included detailed task listings for each group (flightdeck, ATC, FOC). These task listings were synchronized to identify points of interaction, coordination and communication between groups. The final matrix of interactions was then used as a baseline for comparison with projected collaborations required in NextGen. Product: Flight deck-ATC-FOC Interaction Matrix (Section 3 and Appendix E). 3. Identification of key elements and human factors considerations in the transition from current to NextGen operations.
