Webinar: Are Humans in the Loop? The Future of ATCOS in Multi-Airport Digital Towers

24 Jun 2021 03.00 PM - 04.30 PM Zoom Current Students, Industry/Academic Partners, Public

How can the Next Generation of Digital Towers be enabled by Human Factors research?

Human operators play a critical role in Digital Tower systems, and a deeper understanding of how operators interact with these systems will be a prime enabler in realizing the next generation of Digital Towers. As Digital Tower systems evolve towards complex multi-airport systems, the nature of human operations with them also becomes more complex, which drives a need for a better understanding of operator interaction dynamics. By gaining further insight into how humans can most effectively operate and manage these digital systems, the intelligent and interactive Digital Tower systems of the future will become a reality.

Join us for a webinar examining the latest developments in Digital Tower Human Factors research. Four distinguished speakers will share their cutting-edge research into a variety of Human Factors topics, including Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) workload, Augmented Reality in Air Traffic Control, and the effects of Attention Switching in maintaining Situation Awareness.
