Abstract:
In air traffic control, events in 3D space have to be managed with the dual goal of safety and efficiency. Due to the fact, that these events have to be constructed from a 2D airspace representation and numerical information, the resulting mental workload for air traffic controllers is very high. An experimental working model of an air traffic control workspace with a 3D airspace representation is evaluated and shown to be a possible means to reduce mental workload and to improve efficiency and learnability while maintaining the present level of safety.
