Man-in-the-loop part of a study looking at a free flight concept

摘要

The paper describes the man-in-the-loop part of a study looking at a free flight concept with detection and resolution of conflicts during cruise flight by means of airborne systems. The overall study included fast-time simulations to define a base-line concept, a safety analysis, and a man-in-the-loop simulator experiment to investigate human factors issues. Part of the human factors study was the integration of traffic information, conflict detection and conflict resolution advisories in the displays. Based on the results of the three sub-studies, the feasibility of the free flight concept as defined in this study, could not be refuted
