Abstract:Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and R… Show more
“…However, Prinzel et al (2006) demonstrated that 3D presentation in conjunction with 2D displays provided an increase in situational awareness and allowed pilots to avoid certain hazardous terrain [22]. Lohrenz (2003) demonstrated that performance and workload are optimal when the cockpit displays were of the simplest design and contained only the necessary information required [23].…”

We present initial design of NextGen flow corridors and provide examples of corridor building blocks. We discuss important factors to consider when designing the shape and dimensions of corridor building blocks. In addition, we use existing procedures for Area Navigation (RNAV) routes as a basis for developing operational procedures to implement flow corridor operations. Sample procedures are presented to cover the role of pilots, controllers, or other Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), as well as the capabilities and information each party has to receive to perform the described procedures. Finally, required displayed functions for pilot and controller are discussed and illustrated in the context of selected scenarios. The work we present in this article is intended to be used for design and development of Human-In-The-Loop studies for corridors proof of concept.

“…Course deviation. Course deviation was assessed by calculating the cross-track error, or XTE (Lohrenz, 2003). The XTE is the perpendicular distance between the participants' planned route and the actual track from the simulator GPS receiver.…”
This study examines mental workload and performance in simulated high-speed ship navigation. Two navigation methods were compared based on an electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) and a conventional system using paper charts. Twenty naval cadets navigated in high-fidelity simulators through a 50 nautical mile course with varying levels of difficulty. Results showed that ECDIS navigation significantly improved course-keeping performance, but reduced the total amount of communication on the bridge. No differences were observed in subjective workload between groups. Heart rate variability and skin conductance measurements indicated higher workload in conventional navigation, but the differences between groups were not significant.
“…Overlaid versus separate databases for focused tasks. An analysis of data from the aviation and military domains reveals that performance time increases with overlaid display formats when used for focused attention tasks (Kroft & Wickens, 2001;Lohrenz, 2003;Wickens, Kroft, & Yeh, 2000). Kroft and Wickens (2001) measured reaction times of student pilots to questions related to one of two overlaid databases on a "small integrated display"; one domain consisted of navigational ground features (e.g., roads, power lines, bridges), and the other consisted of air hazards (a composite display of weather and air traffic) ( Figure A4).…”

“…Overlaid and separate display formats; displays used in an experiment by Kroft and Wickens (2001). In a low-fidelity simulation, Lohrenz (2003) also examined the effects of display overlay by measuring target acquisition times by participants with either a pilot's license or flight simulator experience, for targets in a military aviation environment.…”

The design of NextGen and current-day cockpit displays are critical for efficient pilot performance and situation awareness on the flight deck. Before deployment of a design into the cockpit the costs and benefits that a display design imposes on performance and situation awareness should be considered. In this thesis, a design tool was developed to support the design of NextGen displays for situation awareness and performance. This design tool is a library of pilot performance estimates. Through literature reviews and meta-analyses of empirical data, the library was developed to provide display designers 1) qualitative distinctions of display properties that either support or limit full situation awareness, and 2) quantitative performance time estimates until situation awareness as a function of various display formats. A systematic method was also developed for future augmentation of the library. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This is dedicated to Kaya, who has been my faithful companion, sounding board, and teacher.
