  1. 1. Making the choice to split sectors or not in a complex Air Traffic Control environment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Carsten Bie; [2021]
    Keywords : Air Traffic Control; decision making; storytelling; tribal knowledge; professional identity; resilience; FLMU06; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) are essential sharp-end workers in the increasingly complex Air Traffic Management (ATM) system that the European ATM network has become. This research is based on an event that occurs many times daily in the Copenhagen Area Control Center (ACC). ATCOs choose whether or not to split sectors. READ MORE

  3. 2. Representing Three-Dimensional Airspace on a Two-Dimensional screen : Visualizing altitude information on a radar screen for a decreased cognitive load

  4. 3. Effects of Complexity Factors on Controllers Workload in Stockholm Terminal Area

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kommunikations- och transportsystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Elmira Zohrevandi; [2016]
    Keywords : Air traffic complexity; Air traffic controller; Air traffic complexity factors; Stockholm air traffic area; Luftfartsverket; Human automation collaboration; Safe human automation interaction; Air transportation safety; Air traffic controller workload; Inf;

    Abstract : Through a history of more than 50 years, the results of mathematical models have shown that controller workload is being driven by the complexity involved in the airspace environment. Part of this complexity is prompted by the dynamical behavior of traffic patterns. READ MORE
