“…Sector maps were presented without air traffic; the presence of aircraft targets might have encouraged participants to compare sectors based simply on the number of aircraft they saw or on the difficulty of the displayed situations. In a preliminary study (Mogford et al, 1993), controllers had demonstrated that they could easily discuss all of the dynamic aspects of a familiar sector (e.g., traffic density and weather problems) when viewing a sector map without traffic.…”

“…The factors listed were used to guide research into error causation at the Atlanta ARTCC. Grossberg (1989) and Mogford, et al (1993) conducted research to investigate the factors comprising ATC complexity. Grossberg (1989) found a statistically significant relationship between sector complexity, as defined by FAA Order 7210.46, and the rate of OE incidence at the Chicago ARTCC.…”

“…Correlations between the standard FAA formula and the same OE database correlations were not as high (r = A4). Mogford, et al (1993) conducted a study to examine the cognitive processes associated with ATC. Controllers from the five specialization areas in the Jacksonville ARTCC participated.…”

“…This construct incorporates the physical aspects of a sector, such as size or airway configuration, and factors relating to the movement of air traffic through the airspace, such as number of climbing and descending flights. Past research has identified specific airspace and traffic factors that contribute to ATC complexity (Mogford, Murphy, Yastrop, Guttman, & Roske-Hofstrand, 1993).…”

“…Results of an investigation conducted at the Jacksonville ARTCC (Mogford, et al, 1994) offer limited insight into the potential components (or correlates) of aircraft mix. In the preliminary stages of the study, aircraft mix was defined as the proportion of commercial, private, and military traffic.…”

This work was accomplished under the approved task AAM-A-HRR-516. AbstractThirty full performance level (FPL) en route air traffic control specialists participated in an investigation of the salient features of aircraft mix, a proposed sector complexity factor. Controllers rated the "familiarity" (i.e., frequency of encounter) of 30 selected aircraft. They also provided weight class, engine number, engine type, cruising speed, climb, and descent rate estimates for each aircraft. A matrix of squared Euclidean distances derived from summary estimates (i.e., means of speed, climb, and descent) was used to construct a multidimensional scaling model of the aircraft. Multiple regression interpretation revealed that Dimension 1 was related to engine type, whereas Dimension 2 was associated with weight class. The position of elements in the derived stimulus space indicated that controllers may develop performancerelated prototypes through the use of multiple cues derived from a number of sources. Results are presented as justification for further investigation into potential advantages of providing enhanced prediction cues (e.g., engine type and weight class) from a single source, which may increase the efficiency of controller decision making and decrease perceived workload.17.
