A Validation Approach for Complex NextGen Air Traffic Control Human Performance Models

摘要

Validation is critically important when human performance models are used to predict the effect of future system designs on human performance. A model of air traffic control (ATC) operations was validated using a rigorous iterative model validation process that illustrated the success of representing ATC operations in NextGen en route operations. A gold-standard model was compared to three model iterations that represented different task management and human time estimation processes when dealing with handoff operations.
