Integrated Human Centered Systems Approach to the Development of Advanced Air Traffic Management Systems

Human performance considerations are expected to be central to the performance of advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. The development of information systems and decision aids in these advanced systems will be simultaneously driven by technical and human capabilities coupled with operational requirements. An Integrated Human Centered Systems Approach is suggested which considers the human controller as a functional component of the closed loop information system. Recent research activities which illustrate different aspects of human performance issues are discussed.
