“…Military traffic was identified as a reason to ask for help or to use a larger buffer. Rodgers, Mogford, and Mogford (1998) found military traffic to be a factor with a statistically significant relationship with the number of operational errors in en route sectors.…”

We investigate the problem of synthesizing weather avoidance routes in the transition airspace, from the 200 n mile range to the metering fixes of an airport, given a deterministic weather forecast. The investigation of the problem is motivated by the desire to maximize airspace capacity while ensuring safe separation between aircraft and between aircraft and hazardous weather. Three solution methods are compared with current day operations. Emphasis is placed on a comparison of the arrival traffic weather avoidance routing method and metrics associated with such routes. Historical weather avoidance paths (baseline) are compared with three alternatives: variations of the standard arrival routes, a geometric optimization solution synthesizing multiple nonintersecting routes, and two free-flight approaches in which aircraft fly weather avoidance routes using a greedy prioritization method. Results indicate that increases in capacity over today's system are achievable, while maintaining safety. However, such increases are limited by the method, the required supporting infrastructure, and weather severity and location.

An online probe technique for measuring situation awareness and workload was evaluated for its ability to detect changes in awareness and workload caused by changes in roles and responsibilities for traffic separation. Three plausible NextGen concepts of operation were evaluated: Pilot primary (pilots responsible for traffic separation), ATC primary (ATC responsible for most traffic separation) and Automation Primary (automated conflict detection and resolution agent responsible for most traffic separation). Pilots were queried about task relevant information throughout a ninety-minute scenario. Queries were categorized into conflict, command and communications, and status information. Situation awareness was measured in terms of response latency and accuracy to the queries. Response latency to conflict queries changed with concept of operation, suggesting that online queries for specific task-relevant information can determine changes in situation awareness for task-specific information.
