Optimizing Online Situation Awareness Probes in Air Traffic Management Tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined the effectiveness of situation awareness probe questions in predicting sector performance and behavior in a human-in-the-loop simulation air traffic management (ATM) simulation with low (50%) and high (75%) traffic densities. Probes were presented online during the performance of the air traffic management task, and the accuracy and response latencies were measured. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the predictive power of each category type. Response latencies for conflict probe questions predicted performance metrics associated with separation assurance.

Conflict Resolution Automation and Pilot Situation Awareness
This study compared pilot situation awareness across three traffic management concepts. The Concepts varied in terms of the allocation of traffic avoidance responsibility between the pilot on the flight deck, the air traffic controllers, and a conflict resolution automation system. In Concept 1, the flight deck was equipped with conflict resolution tools that enable them to fully handle the res...

Changes to the National Airspace System will occur as part of the Next Generation Air Transport System. The consequences of these changes on the situation awareness of pilots and air traffic controllers need to be identified. Before situation awareness metrics can be deployed towards this goal, metrics that can unambiguously capture baseline levels of situation awareness in the current day Nati...
متن کاملThe Effect of SPAM Administration During a Dynamic Simulation
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether administration of the situation present assessment method (SPAM) affects workload and/or task performance. BACKGROUND SPAM probes are thought to isolate workload from the assessment of situation awareness (SA) by including a warning signal before asking an SA-related question. However, there is a good reason to think that SPAM may...

This study compared pilot situation awareness across three traffic management concepts that varied traffic separation responsibility between the pilots, air-traffic controllers, and an automation system. In Concept 1, the flight deck was equipped with conflict resolution tools that enable them to perform the tasks of weather avoidance and self-separation from surrounding traffic. In Concept 2, ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Structure on Cognitive Complexity in Air Traffic Control
Focused interviews with air traffic controllers and traffic management unit personnel, as well as analysis of traffic flow patterns based on Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS) data, suggest that controllers rely on underlying airspace structure to reduce the cognitive complexity of managing an air traffic control situation. To understand how structural elements reduce cognitive complexit...
