HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE REFERENCE SYSTEM FOR ENROUTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

The report provides a description of a 'state-of-the-art' graphical interface for en route air traffic control, based on a Planning Controller (PC), Tactical Controller (TC) partition. It describes the graphical interfaces necessary to support both the PC and the TC functions but makes minimal assumptions concerning the nature of the hardware employed to realize the Controller Working Position (CWP), i.e. it assumes the availability of high resolution interactive graphics without specifying the nature of the physical screens or software employed to realize the implementation. The specification is intended to provide a Reference Ground Human Machine Interface (REFGHMI) which can be used as both a measurement baseline and as a starting point for the development of interface exploring and exploiting the more advanced functionality made possible by technical developments such as ground-air datalinks, improved trajectory prediction, multi-sector planning, etc.
