A fundamental contribution to satisfying future demands in air transport like gain of capacity, reduction of environmental impact, improved flight efficiency and high predictability is often the term "4D". However, having a look at today's fleet only one out of nine aircraft is currently able to, e.g., fulfill a requested time of arrival with high accuracy. Therefore, a successful transition to a 4D-trajectory based operations strongly depends on how especially the unequipped aircraft without an onboard flight management system fit into the concept. In 2007-2009, the FAGI (Future Air Ground Integration) project investigated a new concept facilitating the transition to 4D-trajectory based air traffic management operations.

“…The merging of approach streams with different approach procedures and speeds poses new challenges. These can be partially solved if a time-based "segmented ghosting" with dynamic approach speeds is used for the ghost-label's position calculation [28].…”

“…Another approach is using "slot marker" circles to show the aircraft's expected position along its trajectory if it were conforming to the schedule [32]. Similar target position indicators may also be used for certain waypoints in upper airspace, for wake vortices [33] or in lower airspace for aircraft on several arrival routes, which are mapped onto one centreline [28,34]. For the introduction of the European wake turbulence categories and separation minima on approach and departure (RECAT-EU) I, a new categorisation of the mandatory wake vortex separates them into six.…”

Growing political pressure and widespread social concerns about climate change are triggering a paradigm shift in the aviation sector. Projects with the target of reducing aviation’s CO2 emissions and their impact on climate change are being launched to improve currently used procedures. In this paper, a new coordination process between aircraft flight management systems (FMSs) and an arrival manager (AMAN) was investigated to enable fuel-efficient and more sustainable approaches. This coordination posed two major challenges. Firstly, current capacity-centred AMANs’ planning processes are not optimised towards fuel-efficient trajectories. To investigate the benefit of negotiated trajectories with fixed target times for waypoints and thresholds, the terminal manoeuvring area was redesigned for an independent parallel runway system. Secondly, the FMS-AMAN negotiation process plan the trajectories based on time, whereas air traffic controllers guide traffic based on distance. Three tactical assisting tools were implemented in an air traffic controller’s working position to enable a smooth transition from distance-based to time-based coordination and guidance. The whole concept was implemented and tested in real-time human-in-the-loop studies at DLR’s Air Traffic Validation Center. Results showed that the new airspace design and concept was feasible, and a reduction in flown distance was measured.

“…A prerequisite for the calculation of the action space is a model of the related environment outside the human operator, which allows simulating the effects of different actions. The microworld simulation MAGIE (Oberheid et al, 2009(Oberheid et al, , 2010 including working tasks of an air traffic controller, is built with the intention to make possible conflicts visable and detectable. For this reason, it consists of a Colored Petri Net and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) (c.f.…”

Interactive processes are omnipresent in fields dealing with automation of complex technical processes, allowing a wide range of application scenarios of assistance systems to support human operators. However, the definition and description of the interaction strongly depends on the application. The description of Human-Process-Interaction (HPI) in most cases is the key for the development of interaction models leading to a framework for the development of assistance systems. The goal of such assistance systems is to support human operators, or human factors, and thereby improve the considered process in parallel. For the purpose of creating a framework for the development of assistance systems, the Situation-Operator-Model (SOM) approach is applied. The SOM approach is capable of modeling HPI in a net-like structure representing the complex environment (or process) and human interactions. By this formal modeling of HPI for the development of human-centered assistance systems based on the underlying modeled interaction is available. In this contribution illustrative examples of different applications for the proposed approach are given by a cognitive, individualized driver assistance system for lane changing maneuvers, by the assessment of operator decisions in air traffic control as well as the operator supervision in semi-automated production process.
