Benefits and Incentives for ADS-B Equipage in the National Airspace System
(2007-08)
Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) is a technology that can
replace secondary surveillance radars and enhance cockpit situational awareness.
It also has the potential to enable procedures not possible ...
Analysis of Barriers to the Utility of General Aviation Based on a User Survey and Mode Choice Model
(2002-02)
General aviation is an underutilized transportation mode, particularly when compared to
alternative modes such as the automobile and the commercial airlines. In this research, barriers to
the utility of general aviation ...
Effects of Increased Nonstop Routing on Airline Cost and Profit
(2001-09)
Delays in the United States air transportation industry are increasing every year, with correspondingly
increasing costs. Delays are particularly bad at hub airports, due to the extra
demand placed on these connecting ...
Generalized Philosophy of Alerting with Applications for Parallel Approach Collision Prevention
(2000-08)
An alerting system is automation designed to reduce the likelihood of undesirable
outcomes that are due to rare failures in a human-controlled system. It accomplishes this
by monitoring the system, and issuing warning ...
Analysis of Complexity Evolution Management and Human Performance Issues in Commercial Aircraft Automation Systems
(2000-05)
Autoflight systems in the current generation of aircraft have been implicated in several recent
incidents and accidents. A contributory aspect to these incidents may be the manner in which
aircraft transition between ...
Identification of Communication and Coordination Issues in the U. S. Air Traffic Control System
(2001-06)
Today’s air traffic control system is approaching the point of saturation, as evidenced by increasing delays across the National Airspace System (NAS). There exists an opportunity to enhance NAS efficiency and reduce ...
Structure, Intent & Conformance Monitoring in ATC
(2002-09)
In field studies of current Air Traffic Control operations it is found that controllers rely on underlying airspace structure to reduce the complexity of the planning and conformance monitoring tasks. The structure appears ...
Approaches to Enhance Driver Situational Assessment Aids
(2007-09)
Collision warning systems encounter a fundamental trade-off between providing
the driver more time in which to respond and alerting the driver unnecessarily. The
probability that a driver successfully avoids a hazard ...
The Impact of Structure on Cognitive Complexity in Air Traffic Control
(2002-06)
Focused interviews with air traffic controllers and traffic management unit personnel, as well as analysis of traffic flow patterns based on Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS) data, suggest that controllers rely on ...
