Research abstract
THE PROPOSED PHASE I WORK WILL DEVELOP A CRITICAL SECTOR DETECTOR TOOL CONCEPT THAT WORKS. THE TOOL WILL EVALUATE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER WORKLOAD. IT WILL ANALYZE THE TASK REQUIREMENTS OF HUMAN CONTROLLERS, CALCULATE WORKLOAD FOR THE VARIOUS CONTROLLER POSITIONS OF A SECTOR TEAM, AND COMPARE WORKLOAD ESTIMATES WITH SATURATION LIMITS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL OVERLOADS. IT WOULD ALLOW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL FACILITY PERSONNEL TO EXPERIMENT WITH ALTERNATIVE AIRSPACE DESIGNS, TRAFFIC SCENARIOS AND PROCEDURES TO ENHANCE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL DESIGN AN ALGORITHM AND DATA PROCESSING STRUCTURE FOR THE CRITICAL SECTOR DETECTOR TOOL AND EXERCISE THE ALGORITHM TO ASSESS ITS EFFECTIVENESS.
