The Application of Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems to Air Traffic Control,

Abstract

This paper considers the need to explore the approach of Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems (IKBS) towards meeting the pressures for change in future Air Traffic Control Systems. The discussion includes the role of automation in ATC and the suitability of IKBS within a shared approach between controller and machine. Areas selected to provide practical experience of IKBS applied to ATC include Air Traffic Flow Management, Conflict Resolution and Training. Guideline concepts for the introduction of a new technology to ATC are outlined.
