Integrating Human Factors In Real-Time Simulations

Abstract

Real-Time Simulation (RTS) is a technique used in Air Traffic Management (ATM) to validate new operational procedures, airspace organisation or support tools. Although the aim is to involve Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) in the simulation, many RTS projects still lack the human factors perspective. This paper presents the benefits of using RTS where the Human Factors are taken into account. First, basic concepts in human cognition are introduced that needs to be covered during a validation. Second, the validation steps are outlined with special attention to their own challenges. Finally, projects that are of key importance in SESAR 2020 (Single European Sky ATM Research 2020) and in Human factors will be elaborated.
