The introduction of more advanced automation in air traffic control seems inevitable. Air traffic controllers will then take the role of automation supervisors, a role which is generally unsuitable for humans. Gamification, the use of game elements in non-gaming contexts, shows promising results in mitigating the effects of boredom in highly automa...

Context 1
... supervising real flights and manually controlling fictional flights share the same goal, routing flights through the sector safely and efficiently. By considering the display design principles of discriminability and redundancy described by Wickens [12], the design presented in Figure 1 was created, in which fictional flights differ from real flights in both colour and shape. The colour blue was chosen due to its high contrast with the dark backgrounds often used in ATC displays. ...
Context 2
... SART index computed from the answers did not yield a significant difference between the fictional flights and the baseline groups. However, among the individual SART questions, differences can be observed in the concentration level and information usefulness ratings, presented in Figure 10. The answers for information usefulness also reveal a trend: participants in the baseline group indicated that they had a greater understanding of the knowledge received from the display, whereas the fictional flights group scored lower overall. ...
Context 3
... each participant was asked whether they found or would have found fictional aircraft beneficial for maintaining vigilance within the experiment environment. Overall, more than half of the participants in both groups considered that fictional flights were or would have been useful (Figure 11). ...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of fatigue and tension on the physical characteristics and abilities of air traffic controllers (ATCOs) and determine their influence mechanisms. A simulated experiment was designed to evaluate the responses of ATCOs in four states: alertness, fatigue, tension, and fatigue and tension. Thirty you...
We live in the age of the 4th industrial revolution. The leading technologies of this revolution are Cloud computing, Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT). The vast majority of IoT technologies are characterized by the fact that we collect data with the help of sensors using the Internet. The project MOVIR also implements such an IoT technolog...
In the framework of the SAFELAND project, a Low-Fidelity Simulation (LFS) tool was developed and applied in collaboration with SAFEMODE project. This tool allows a preliminary evaluation of the system under development during its early stages, being an intermediate step between the concept development and other hands-on simulation activities, such...
ATC (Air Traffic Control) is considered one of the most demanding jobs. This profession is considered a job with high mental workload due to its high-stress level and great responsibility. This study designed a suitable work system to improve operator performance by measuring the mental workload and the physical environment using the NASA-TLX metho...
