Towards an Ecological Design of a 4-Dimensional Separation Assistance Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently the world’s airspace is being operated at the limits of both capacity and safety by different stakeholders. Various initiatives worldwide are investigating future air traffic management concepts. A shift towards trajectory-based environments is identified, where user needs and performance capabilities are leading to user preferred routing by using Airborne Separation Assistance Systems. Within the Control & Simulation Department two innovative interfaces have been developed based on the Ecological Interface Design paradigm, that prevent potential loss of separation in the horizontal and vertical plane respectively. This paper describes the foundations of these interfaces and describes the research heading towards an ecological design of a 4-dimensional (space and time) separation assistance interface.

متن کاملDevelopment of a Horizontal Collision Avoidance Display to Support Pilots’ Self-Separation in a Free Flight Environment
In a Free Flight Environment, managing separation between aircraft is delegated to the pilot by Air Traffic Management. The future adoption of a Free Flight Environment is necessary, as Air Traffic Controllers will be unable to handle the workload from the forecasted doubling of air traffic within two decades. The responsibility of pilots will expand to include a new set of cognitive demands as...

As once noticed in 1963 by Coons, the computer should be able to support design as a full blown assistant, a partner of the designer that actively collaborates [1]. Since the initial introduction of artificial intelligence to the field of computer-aided design and user interface research, many applications have evolved. The advent of wizards, mixed-initiative systems, and decision support syste...
متن کاملA Context-aware Locomotion Assistance Device for the Blind
In this paper, we present a study which aims at designing a locomotion assistance device that can deliver semantic information about its surrounding environment at any time. As a first step towards this goal, we introduce an original model suited for the description of building structure, and we present an algorithm that exploits these descriptions. Then, we explain how it is possible to link s...
