Air Traffic Control Agents: Landing and Collision Avoidance

This paper presents an example of share autonomy between a human air traffic controller and two agents that assist the human operator. The agents monitor and interact with the dynamic situation of flights around an airport tower. When a situation arises that requires an air traffic response, the agents notify the human operator about the situation along with a suggested action. If the human operator does not respond in time, the agent will take over and issue the needed response.
