1
The role of human in ATM automation a key issue
Alain Printemps head of DNA/CENA
2
Automating ATM processes
  • Complete automation is not anticipated.
  • The controller is there, so we should
  • take the best of human and machine capabilities
  • provide a working environment that should be
  • fault tolerant, reliable, flexible and efficient
  • providing a clear sharing of role of each actor
  • This constitutes in ATM 2000 the human
    centered approach

3
The human centred approach
  • Man better
  • strategy
  • flexibility / adaptability
  • creativity
  • global view / good sense
  • Machine better
  • stress
  • limited resources
  • errors / vigilance
  • real time computation
  • Some recommendations (Dr. Erzberger, NASA)
  • DO NOT automate unique skills or enjoyable tasks
  • DO NOT automate complex or poorly understood
    tasks
  • DO automate to increase situation awareness (and
    not the contrary)
  • DO automate to enrich controllers work
    environment and complement controller skills

4
The PHARE approach
  • Data link technology offers new possibilities
  • how to take them into account to offer a better
    service and a better assistance to the
    controller?
  • The controller as a supervisor of an automated
    system. Not recommended loss of situation
    awareness.
  • Cognitive approach (automation based on typical
    controller heuristics). Not retained as
    considered more appropriate for optimisation of
    existing concept.
  • From these two extremes an intermediate solution
    was selected.

5
Role of the controller in PHARE
  • Planning controller global traffic management
  • Negotiates the conflict free aircraft trajectory.
  • Updates the planning of trajectories in case of
    unexpected events.
  • Tactical controller traffic monitoring
  • Little initiative except when something does not
    go as planned.
  • Introduction of co-operative tools in PD/3 as
    an attempt to improve situation awareness and
    communication between the two controllers.

6
A challenge for the future
  • Today increase number of controllers
  • Tomorrow (2005) increase sector capacity with a
    cognitive approach to automation
  • 2010 and beyond? The PHARE scenario a quite
    significant step. Issues to be resolved
  • Training is such a change acceptable for today
    controllers?
  • Liability increased role of ground and airborne
    computers, new pilot responsibilities.
  • Transition intermediate steps are necessary.
