Abstract:

The project comprised a number of simulation exercises

designed to evaluate methods of either preventing or

resolving the problems likely to be caused by label overlap on

Labelled Plan Displays (LPD). The automatic prevention of

label overlap was investigated in ATCEU Project EU 146, (ATCEU

Report No 35l). These earlier trials determined that one of the

methods used, automatically alternating overlapping labels, was

not suitable. The report concluded that the other methods used,

machine re-positioning and reversion to a tabular display, were

effective whether used separately or together, but that they should

be brought into operation manually and not automatically. The

exercises in EU 146 compared the amount of data v/hich controllers

could extract from the LPD when the different methods of preventing

overlap were used. The controllers were not exercising any control

function, nor was there any other source of flight data such as

a flight progress board. The project which is the subject of this

report was a follow-up of the earlier trial, using manually

controlled methods as had been recommended, and conducted in an

active control environment. The simulation also presented an

opportunity to demonstrate a new input device, the Touch Sensitive

Digitiser (TSD)• This was in no way an evaluation of the device,

but some observations on its use in the ATC role are included

after the discussion section. The project was sponsored by the

Director of Control (Plans) NATS, and carried out at the ATCEU

Bournemouth (Hurn) Airport in two stages, a pilot study between

11 and 29 June and the main simulation between 13 August and 14

September 1973.
