5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb exploration of Air Traffic automation and risk.,
This review is from: The Future of Air Traffic Control: Human Operators and Automation (Hardcover)
This important follow-on to "Flight to the Future" covers the automation initiatives in ATC modernization. The various programs in development are detailed from the human-centered automation viewpoint, including assessments of the potential risk involved in implementing them. (Refinements in the various programs since the report was published make some of this detail dated, but the underlying automation approach has remained consistent.)This report is critical because it leads one to ask human factors questions beyond color scheme and font size and display lay-out: namely, what is the purpose of this function in the system, and what does the system gain *and lose* if that function is automated? That is, is automating this function going to provide enough benefit to system safety and performance to off-set the risks thereof? Not content to merely ask the questions, the NRC panel also presents over a dozen pages of solid recommendations for mitigating the risk of automating air traffic control functions, emphasizing the human-centered automation approach.
