Controller Attention and Performance Transitioning to Future Air Traffic Management: Effects of Imperfect Automation on

This study examined whether benefits of conflict probe automation would occur in a future air traffic scenario in which air traffic service providers (ATSPs) are not directly responsible for freely maneu-vering aircraft but are controlling other nonequipped aircraft (mixed-equipage environment). The objective was to examine how the type of automation imperfec-tion (miss vs. false alarm) affects ATSP performance and attention allocation.
