An Automatic Training Tool for Air Traffic Control Training

In this paper we presents an automatic training tool (ATT) for air traffic control officer (ATCO) trainees. It was developed using our cloud-based speech recognition and text-to-speech systems and allows dynamically generate the content. Our system significantly expands the available training materials, allowing ATCOs practice the basics of communication and phraseology. Furthermore, the automa...
