• Abstract:
  This report presents an analysis of how the new Terminal Information Processing System (TIPS) and Consolidated Cab Display (CCD) equipments might appear to Air Traffic personnel if they were installed in the tower cab and TRACON at Hartsfield-Atlanta Airport. The analysis includes an operations analysis of the current Atlanta tower cab and TRACON operations, and preliminary designs of the TIPS and the CCD as applied to those operations. In addition, the potential integration of the two systems is discussed.
