“…The finding that conflict detection performance was compromised under high traffic density is consistent with the results of a previous study we have carried out (Galster et al, 2001). In addition, subjective and objective measures indicated an increase in mental workload under high compared to moderate traffic.…”

“…This is quite remarkable since high traffic and passive monitoring represent the conditions originally proposed by the RTCA (1995) in their vision of FF. In order to accommodate more aircraft, airspace under FF will be denser and aircraft separation will be tighter leaving less time for ATCos to recover from emergency situations or to back-up airborne separation in case it fails (Galster et al, 2001). However, the present results showed that ATCos need more time to detect conflicts under these conditions.…”

“…Each simulation session lasted for 90 minutes and consisted of three, 20 minute [15] periods of stable task demand which alternated between high and low traffic levels, interspersed with a total of three, 10 minute transition phases. Task demand was created by the number of aircraft under control [16] as well as the ratio of arrival aircraft and overflights.…”

“…As illustration, Endsley and Rodgers [13] found that ATCos showed poor performance in detecting conflicts in recorded traffic when they were passively monitoring the traffic. Galster et al [14] found that passive monitoring with airborne control of aircraft separation, which would be the case under mature Free Flight, led to a marked decrease in conflict detection performance by ATCos under high traffic load.…”
