IDENTIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AUTOMATION

The current state of the art of artificial intelligence techniques appears to support a wide range of possible applications to air traffic control under different control strategies. Techniques developed for heuristic search and the creation of expert systems offer the most promise for near-term application. Areas such as speech interpretation and computer vision may offer potential applications further into the future. This presentation considers the questions: how can it be done? and what are the costs and benefits? The need is indicated for improved methods for performing preliminary evaluations of proposed ATC system enhancement. The need for a long range research program into the future developments in the ATC system is also indicated.
