Abstract:The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) deployment of 43-inch en route air traffic control displays resulted in unexpected issues (e.g., headaches, nausea) for some air traffic controllers. We conducted this project to investigate the reasons for these problems to provide information to FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) acquisition programs to guide the development of requirements, the criteria for product selection, and the evaluation of large displays. We evaluated five different large display technologies with 20 federal employees from the William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC). The selected displays included two light emitting diode (LED) displays, a quantum dot LED (QLED), an organic LED (OLED), and the legacy 28-inch display under two different room lighting conditions (bright, dark) We examined eye movement data (eye blinks, eyelid openings) as potential metrics of visual fatigue, but did not find differences across displays.
