AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

Abstract

Efforts were made to evaluate quantitatively the capabilities and limitations of the systems, procedures, and instrumentation utilized for ATC. A new activity is directed toward defining and evaluating the impact that a data- linked cockpit display of Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) information could have upon terminal area capacity. Also under study is the application of a laser beam alerting system at Logan International Airport to increase the usefulness of Runway 4R.
