Enhancing the manual ATC control processSmoker, Anthony January 1996 (has links)
The limitations in en-route Air Traffic Control today are generally accepted as being the workload and performance of the controller. This method of operation is known as the 'manual control process'. The manual control process is an open loop form of control, that relies heavily on controller judgement and decision making. Future developments in ATC, that use twoway datalink, and integrate air and ground systems, are expected to be delayed. This leaves the manual control process to manage the projected growth in air transport demand. An analysis was carried out of the manual control process on two sectors at the London Area & Terminal Control Centre at West Drayton. Particular attention was given to understanding complexity, the functions that controllers perform, decision making and information sources. A systems approach was taken to the analysis and used multidisciplinary research techniques. The study used naturalistic data collection. Both the ground and airborne systems were reviewed, and developments found within them, that can benefit the control process. An analysis of incidents in en-route ATC was also conducted. Proposals are made that can support an enhanced control process. These were modelled, and the results indicated that reductions in controller workload are attainable. The changes to the control process involve more close control of the vertical plane, and improved and more precise information being made available to the controller. It is suggested that aircraft flight management systems are used as a control tool, and system requirements are proposed.

Visual analysis in air traffic control (ATC)Gould, Megan January 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities
University of the Witwatersrand
In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts by
coursework and research report in Organisational Psychology
Submitted for examination March 2015 / and most efficient way possible. Air traffic controllers perform complex tasks, some of which
involve the analysis of visual inputs. The primary aim of this study was to examine whether
there is a relationship between visual analysis and performance during the first training course
attended by aspiring controllers. The main sample consisted of fifty-one trainees. An additional
twenty-five qualified controllers also completed the visual analysis exercises. Visual analysis
was assessed using ScreenX and SAMAE’s Scanning and Division of Attention exercises from
Leaderware. The Core Content course reports were used as a measure of performance for
trainees. Correlations and regressions were performed. The main results showed that the visual
analysis scores were related to performance on ten of the fifteen subjects covered during the
Core Content course and the overall course average. These findings have implications for the
selection of trainees. Secondary analyses found significant differences in the visual analysis
abilities of trainees and qualified controllers / MT2016

A fast-time study on increasing the capacity of continuous descent approaches through airborne precision spacingWeitz, Lesley Anne 01 November 2005 (has links)
Due to projectedincrea ses in air traffic, there are several research efforts underway
to evaluate ways to safely increase the capacity of the National Airspace System
(NAS), improve operational efficiency, andre duce aircraft noise. At NASA Langley
Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton, Virginia, two parallel research efforts have focusedon
terminal area research: one is Airborne Precision Spacing (APS), and the
other is the Quiet Aircraft Technologies (QAT) project. The APS objective is to
increase terminal-area capacity without adversely affecting safety, whereas the QAT
project objective is to develop noise- and fuel-efficient approach trajectories.
The APS project developed a cockpit tool, called Airborne Merging and Spacing
for Terminal Arrivals (AMSTAR), that issues speedco mmands to aircraft to maintain
desired spacing between aircraft pairs. The APS studies showed an ability to
increase runway capacity; however, capacity increases may negatively impact noise
andemissio n levels in airport areas. The QAT project created efficient Continuous
Descent Approaches (CDAs), which showedred uctions in aircraft ground noise and
fuel consumption. Previous research has shown that CDA trajectories have adverse
effects on runway capacity because aircraft must be spacedf urther apart at long distances
from the runway to prevent separation losses at the runway threshold. To
date, the APS and CDA concepts have been evaluated independently at LaRC.In this study, three different approaches to combining APS and CDA operations
were evaluatedto determine the feasibility and benefits of combining these concepts.
These methods combined AMSTAR with 3◦-flight-path-angle-CDA approach routes,
3◦-CDA routes with spoilers, and2 ◦-CDA routes without spoilers. Adding the use
of spoilers allowedf aster responses to large speedr eductions issued by AMSTAR.
This improvement was contrastedwith the effects of a shallower flight-path angle for
greater deceleration capabilities.
This research indicated that AMSTAR improved the performance of CDA operations,
although full capacity improvements were not achieved. Whereas the 2◦-CDA
routes were expectedto show the best results, the 3◦-CDA case with spoilers showed
the least variability in thresholdspacing errors. All of the CDA routes were more
noise, fuel, and time efficient than traditional step-descent routes that are commonly
usedto day.
