    • Impact of Operating Context on the Use of Structure in Air Traffic Controller Cognitive Processes 

      Davison, H. J.; Histon, J. M.; Ragnarsdottir, M. D.; Major, L. M.; Hansman, R. J. (2003-06-23)
      This paper investigates the influence of structure on air traffic controllers’ cognitive processes in the TRACON, En Route, and Oceanic environments. Radar data and voice command analyses were conducted to support hypotheses ...

    • Use of Structure as a Basis for Abstraction in Air Traffic Control 

      Davison, H. J.; Hansman, R. J. (2003-03)
      The safety and efficiency of the air traffic control domain is highly dependent on the capabilities and limitations of its human controllers. Past research has indicated that structure provided by the airspace and procedures ...

    • Hazard Avoidance Alerting With Markov Decision Processes 

      Winder, Lee F.; Kuchar, James K. (2004-08)
      This thesis describes an approach to designing hazard avoidance alerting systems based on a Markov decision process (MDP) model of the alerting process, and shows its benefits over standard design methods. One benefit ...
