ABSTRACT

Research in ATM human factors has tended to be focused on training and selection of air traffic controllers and pilots, on technology for presentation of information to human operators in the system, and on technology for transmission of control input to appropriate parts of the system. However, the drive to efficiency and flexibility has provided technologies to make the process of ATM distributed and de-centralized. In response the foci in human factors, research has shifted to include consideration of collaborative decision-making, distributed control, and coordination of roles and responsibilities in dynamic systems.
