Description for The Future of Air Traffic Control. Human Operators and Automation. Paperback. Focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system. This book explores ways in which technology can build on human strengths and compensate for human vulnerabilities, minimizing both mistrust of automation and complacency about its abilities. Editor(s): Wickens, Christopher D.; Mavor, Anne S.; Parasuraman, Raja; McGee, James P. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: RP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 522.

Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system.

The panel offers recommendations for development of human-centered automation, addressing key areas such as providing levels of automation that are appropriate to levels of risk, examining procedures for recovery from emergencies, free flight versus ground-based authority, and more.
