Cognitive Evaluation of Potential Approaches to Increase the Efficiency of Air Traffic Controller Training and Staffing
This project will use cognitive models to demonstrate how controllers use "structure" in the air traffic control environment (e.g. procedures, flows, sector geometry and airspace elements) to reduce cognitive complexity to identify and evaluate opportunities to increase the efficiency of the controller training process and increase staffing flexibility.
