“…These requirements drove the design of display concepts that have been used for multiple activities (Fernandes, et al, 2011;Smith, et al, 2011). Relevant results from two additional exercises are discussed here.…”

“…To evaluate the departure metering concept, 7 retired and 1 current ATCT ground controllers from 6 different airports participated in structured interviews. Each participant was introduced to the metering concept and spent time performing the DRC role in the CATS simulation environment (Fernandes, et al, 2011). Participants used a display similar to that shown in Figure 1 to manage a metering procedure for runway 18L.…”

“…Departure metering is one approach to managing demand exceeding departure capacity (Burgain, Feron, & Clarke, 2009;Brinton, Lent, & Provan, 2010;Fernandes, et al, 2010;Fernandes, et al, 2011;Surface CDM Team, 2011). Such procedures control access to the movement area by assigning times at which flight crews may enter the movement area.…”

Airport departure demand that exceeds capacity can lead to longer departure queues than necessary. Departure metering is one approach to managing the flow of aircraft to the departure queue so as to build an appropriate inventory of departures on the surface. The Departure Reservoir Coordinator (DRC) is an envisioned role that will be responsible for managing a departure metering procedure. This paper describes a functional analysis of the DRC role and requirements for supporting a person or team in that role that were derived from the functional analysis. Results of the functional analysis were used to develop display concepts that were evaluated by air traffic controllers.
