Development Of Increasingly Autonomous Traffic Data Manager Using Pilot Relevancy And Ranking Data, Lisa R. Le Vie, Vincent E. Houston Jan 2017

Development Of Increasingly Autonomous Traffic Data Manager Using Pilot Relevancy And Ranking Data, Lisa R. Le Vie, Vincent E. Houston

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

NASA’s Safe Autonomous Systems Operations (SASO) project goal is to define and safely enable all future airspace operations by justifiable and optimal autonomy for advanced air, ground, and connected capabilities. This work showcases how Increasingly Autonomous Systems (IAS) could create operational transformations beneficial to the enhancement of civil aviationsafety and efficiency. One such IAS under development is the Traffic Data Manager (TDM). This concept is a prototype ‘intelligent party-line’ system that would declutter and parse out non-relevant air traffic, displaying only relevant air traffic to the aircrewin a digital data communications (DataComm) environment. As an initial step, over 22,000 data …


Able Flight At Purdue, Wesley Major, Raymart Tinio, Sarah Hubbard Jan 2017

Able Flight At Purdue, Wesley Major, Raymart Tinio, Sarah Hubbard

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

This paper discusses the human factors considerations associated with Able Flightat Purdue, a program that provides flight training to individualswith disabilities. The program requires a tailored approach to training due to the varied needs specific to each individual. Aircraft procedures and airfield operations are standard and all FAA regulations are followed, however, the way individuals with limited dexterity, limited hearing, or limited speech interact with the aviation system needs to be creatively approached with an open mind. The critical thinking used to address individual needs provides an excellent demonstration of problem solving that reflects human factorsconsiderations, based on the SHELL …


Innovative Airport Visual Aids To Enhance Situational Awareness And Flight Training For General Aviation, Wesley Major, Sarah Hubbard Jan 2017

Innovative Airport Visual Aids To Enhance Situational Awareness And Flight Training For General Aviation, Wesley Major, Sarah Hubbard

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Runway incursionsare a threat to runway safety andhave been increasing in recent years. Incursions are categorized into three categories, pilot deviations (PD), operational incidents (OI), and vehicle pedestrian deviations (VPD). At general aviation airports, PDs are the most prevalent runway incursion type. Inadequate situational awareness is one of the human factors associated with PDs. Student pilots,pilots flying to an unfamiliar airport, ground operations personnel, and emergencyplanning and emergency responders can benefit from the use of visual aids that extend beyond an airport diagram or static Google Earth imagery. More robust visual aids can potentially increase situational awareness and reduce the …


Teamwork And Emergent Cognitive States As Predictors Of Routine And Adaptive Performance In Flight Dispatch Centers, Glenn E. Littlepage, Megan Wertheimer Jan 2017

Teamwork And Emergent Cognitive States As Predictors Of Routine And Adaptive Performance In Flight Dispatch Centers, Glenn E. Littlepage, Megan Wertheimer

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

This study examines relations between the emergent cognitive state of transactive memory, the emergent affective state of collective efficacy, teamwork processes, and team performance. Mediation is examined as well as comparison of states and processes related to performance in routine and non-routine situations.


Effects Of Radar Side Conflict Probe Functionality On Atc Conflict Detection Performance And Efficiency, Anthony J. Masalonis, Ben Willems, Thomas Fincannon Jan 2017

Effects Of Radar Side Conflict Probe Functionality On Atc Conflict Detection Performance And Efficiency, Anthony J. Masalonis, Ben Willems, Thomas Fincannon

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

We investigated integrating Conflict Probe (CP) on air traffic controllers’ Radar Side (R-Side) displays. Eight controllers worked realistic, high-trafficsimulation scenarios alone, using both R-Side and Radar Associate Side (RA-Side) displays. We manipulated CP presence on the R-Side— like today,italways appeared on the RA-Side—and the presence of yellow alerts for near-conflicts. We used established controller performance and workload metrics, plus novel operational analyses not used in past studies. R-Side CP had few workload effects, but increased voice communications when we included yellow alerts. It improved the efficiency of correcting conflict-inducing clearances, and seemed to facilitate proactive control to avertmore urgent alerts. …
