Evaluating Human Interaction with Advanced Air Traffic Management Automation

Abstract

The global Air Traffic Management (ATM) system represents one of the most complex human-machine systems known. As the system has evolved in step with traffic demands, automation has been increasingly called upon to augment the capacities of the human operator, namely the air traffic controller. Future generations of ATM automation seek to augment, or even replace, such human faculties as decision making and strategic control. As such, they represent some of the most ambitious attempts at automation conceivable.
