In research and application of Human Factors in Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems design, development and operation, there remains a lack of clarity. This book seeks to redress this situation by presenting case studies of human factors applications in which there is demonstrable success in terms of improvement in operational systems.
This book provides case studies including training methods, human error, team resource management, situation assessment, terminal automation replacement systems, collaborative decision-making to improve the effectiveness of traffic-flow management and the role of human factors in ATM. It outlines how human factors study evolved, what it entailed, how it was resourced and how results have contributed to operational performance.
'With more than 40 contributors lending their expertise, Human Factors in Air Traffic Management is a definitive work in the field and important reading for students, educators and supervisors as well.' Collegiate Aviation News 'This book provides a comprehensive and up to date overview of important Human Factors aspects on Air Traffic Management and should be of use for practitioners as well as scientists.' Human Factors and Ergonomics Safety Newsletter. 2006 'Overall, Human Factors Impacts in Air Traffic Management is an important addition to the aviation industry literature and can be used to communicate how human factors can bring additional benefits across the industry in terms of operations, human resources, performance measurement and integration into organisations as a better way of doing business.' - Journal of Airport Management, Jan - Mar 2007 'Human Factors Impacts in Air Traffic Management sets out to demonstrate by reference to evidence arising from actual initiatives, programmes and activities, the quantitative and qualitative beneftis that can accrue from the adoption and integration human factors into all aspects and all stages of air traffic management. In this endeavour, its 21 informative chapters fully succeed.' Mike Burlyn, Aerospace Professional, January 2007
