Transition Steps to Orthogonal Unidirectional Air Traffic Controller Monitoring Display

Kurzfassung

Current displays of Air Traffic Controllers (ATCO) do hardly support future tasks of a time-, trajectory- and performance-based approach. The “Orthogonal Flight Monitoring with Unidirectional Controller HMI (OFMUCH)” shall assist ATCOs with small consecutive learning steps corresponding to iterative display revisions without broad big bang integrations. Ten different displays succeed each other with only minor changes, but resulting in a broad change comparing the first with the last display. A study with ten controllers showed improved acceptability and usability of new display concepts with a row of changes guiding from the current to a future ATCO display.
