This report describes a series of six experiments that were carried out, primarily to examine the effectiveness of 3D perspective displays in supporting various facets of an air traffic controller's task in the TRACON area, including basic perceptual judgments, traffic flow management, conflict detection, evaluating pilot routing requests, terrain separation and weather separation. Overall the results suggest few differences between conventional planar, and perspective display formats, but where such differences do exist, they favor the conventional 2D (planar) format; and more so with air traffic controller subjects than with pilots trained in ATC skills. The program also addresses differences in the format with which data link information should be conveyed to controllers. |
