“…This AH has had numerous iterations, as can be seen in our publications over the years Ellerbroek et al, 2011;Ellerbroek et al, 2013b). Indeed, we have been struggling with it for quite some time as, other than in process control where the abstract and generalized functions can be quickly connected to the physics of the plant being controlled (Vicente, 1999), in this separation problem the "physics" were not clear from the beginning.…”

Abstract:In the design of human-machine interfaces and automation, an important question is how to obtain and validate a design that is capable of supporting the operator's understanding and situation awareness of the process under control. Whereas many research efforts address the question of 'what is the operator aware of?' -the awareness -only a few investigations focus on studying what the operator should be aware of in the first place, i.e., 'what is the situation?' In this paper we briefly discuss some of our research activities which aim at answering this second question, following an 'ecological approach' to interface design. The clever use of automation tools and novel visualizations will be presented that allows human operators working in aviation (pilots, air traffic controllers) in dealing with complex tasks. The airborne self-separation task will be discussed, as an example of showing how ecological interfaces can support pilots in their decision making.

Abstract-Two experiments, an active conflict resolution task and a passive situation awareness assessment, were conducted that compared two versions of a constraint-based co-planar airborne separation assistance display. A baseline display showed a maneuver space based on 2-D projections of traffic and performance constraints. A second augmented display also incorporated cutting-planes that take the dimension orthogonal to the projection into account, thereby providing a more precise visualization of traffic constraints. Results showed that although pilots performed well with either display, the augmented display scored consistently better in terms of performance, efficiency of conflict resolutions, the amount of errors in initial resolutions, and the level of situation awareness compared to the baseline display. On the other hand, more losses of separation were found with the augmented display, as pilots tried to maximize maneuvering efficiency according to the precision with which constraints were visualized.

Validating a concept of operation for a complex, safety-critical system (like the National Airspace System) is challenging because of the high dimensionality of the controllable parameters and the infinite number of states of the system. In this paper, we use statistical modeling techniques to explore the behavior of a conflict detection and resolution algorithm designed for the terminal airspace. These techniques predict the robustness of the system simulation to both nominal and off-nominal behaviors within the overall airspace. They also can be used to evaluate the output of the simulation against recorded airspace data. Additionally, the techniques carry with them a mathematical value of the worth of each prediction-a statistical uncertainty for any robustness estimate. Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is the process of quantitative characterization and ultimately a reduction of uncertainties in complex systems. UQ is important for understanding the influence of uncertainties on the behavior of a system and therefore is valuable for design, analysis, and verification and validation. In this paper, we apply advanced statistical modeling methodologies and techniques on an advanced air traffic management system, namely the Terminal Tactical Separation Assured Flight Environment (T-TSAFE). We show initial results for a parameter analysis and safety boundary (envelope) detection in the high-dimensional parameter space. For our boundary analysis, we developed a new sequential approach based upon the design of computer experiments, allowing us to incorporate knowledge from domain experts into our modeling and to determine the most likely boundary shapes and its parameters. We carried out the analysis on system parameters and describe an initial approach that will allow us to include time-series inputs, such as the radar track data, into the analysis.
