Air Traffic Volume and Air Traffic Control Human Errors

Safety Culture in Air Traffic Management: Air Traffic Control

In a joint research project – Human Factors in Air Navigation Services, HUFA – between the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration and Lund University the focus is on human and organizational factors and safety in air traffic control. The Swedish Air Navigation Services (ANS) are undergoing major organizational changes in order to adapt to changing demands on efficiency and technical development ...

Air Traffic Control

This project simulates the movement of aircraft through a region of airspace surrounding an airfield. The task involves modelling the various aircraft, airfield and airspace, as well as their various properties and movements. In addition, it is hoped to model the interactions between various aircraft, such as collision avoidance and convoy-style flight. The project utilises the relational aspec...

Data Mining of Air Traffic Control Operational Errors

In this paper we present the results of applying data mining techniques to identify patterns and anomalies in air traffic control operational errors (OEs). Reducing the OE rate is of high importance and remains a challenge in the aviation safety community. Existing studies, which use traditional methods and focus on individual aspects of OEs, are limited to operations at a single facility, or e...

Dialogues in Air Traffic Control

We have taken an off-the-shelf, commercial continuous speech recogniser and conducted evaluations for the domain of Air Traffic Control. The language of this domain proved to be quite unrestricted, contrary to our initial intuitions. Our experiments show that constraints typically used by speech recognisers do not provide accurate enough results and need to be augmented with other knowledge sou...
