In order to accommodate future demands, the U.S. Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) proposed the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). One of the NextGen technologies currently under development is Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B), which is a new satellite-based surveillance technology. http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/42006 Mitigating Complexity in Air Traffic Control: The Role of Structure-Based Abstractions Hansman, R. John Histon, Jonathan M. Cognitive complexity is a limiting factor on the capacity and efficiency of the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system. A multi-faceted cognitive ethnography approach shows that structure, defined as the physical and informational elements that organize and arrange the ATC environment, plays an important role in helping controllers mitigate cognitive complexity. Key influences of structure in the operational environment and on controller cognitive processes are incorporated into a cognitive process model. Controllers are hypothesized to internalize the structural influences in the form of abstractions simplifying their working mental model of the situation. By simplifying their working mental model, these structure-based abstractions reduce cognitive complexity. http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/42000 Air Transportation: The Next 100 Years Challenges and Opportunities Hansman, R.

The number of air traffic passengers in the U.S. is expected to grow from 738 million in 2005 to 1 billion in 2015. The number of commercial airline flights is expected to grow from 13 million in 2005 to 15 million in 2015. [22] Figure 1-1 shows the growth in air traffic demand in the United States in recent years.
