Abstract:

This report describes the results of an experiment for evaluating the controller/computer interface in an ARTS III/M&S system modified for use with a simulated digital data link and a voice link utilizing a computer-generated voice system. A modified ARTS III/M&S system at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC) provided the means for determing which of three candidate control and display modes was the the most suitable for the display and dispatch of computer-generator M&S commands in a mixed voice/digital communications environment. The three modes tested were Control-by-Approval/Full Data Block CCBE/FDB)/In Control-by-Approval, the controller must approve each command that are otherwise automatically dispatched. The three modes were tested by NAFEC air traffic control specialists in an M&S scenario simulating south arrivals, single runway only, at modes included subjective data in the form of questionnaires from participating delay, service time, instantaneous aircraft load. The results of 66 hours of testing with six air traffic controllers show that the fully automated CBE/FDB control mode is preferred because it possesses the best workload, capacity and stress characteristics. Although the CBA/TAB and CBA/FDB modes tend to exhibit shorter communication delyas, the former, with its list display, diverts attention; and the latter, with its trackball, increases workload.
