This report provides baseline measurements on the Display System Replacement (DSR). These measurements followed six constructs: safety, capacity, performance, workload, usability, and simulation fidelity. To collect these measurements, human factors researchers conducted an air traffic control simulation using four sectors of Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) airspace with a traffic volume representing a 90th percentile day. Ten controllers from Washington ARTCC served as participants in the study. Recordings ...
This report provides baseline measurements on the Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) IIIA. Researchers developed a set of measurements useful for evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of terminal air traffic control automation systems. These measurements followed six high-level operational constructs: Safety, Capacity, Performance, Workload, Usability, and Simulation Fidelity. To collect these measurements for the ARTS IIIA, we conducted an air traffic control simulation using four sectors of Boston Terminal Radar ...
This document presents the findings of a voice technology study that evaluated the potential of a speech to text and voice recognition system to support an Airway Facilities maintenance task. Researchers conducted the test at an Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR)-9 site at the William J. Hughes Technical Center. Thirteen Airway Facilities specialists completed the procedure twice, once with the voice technology system and again with a ...
