One of the most fundamental changes to the traffic management system is the use of trajectory based operations (TBO)(SESAR, 2007; FAA, 2014). TBO generates a shift from manual, tactical air traffic control, to more automated, strategic traffic management. With the introduction of such fundamental change to the ATM system, system safety and resilience (e.g. Hollnagel, 2010) is a critical concern. An important element of maintaining safety and resilience in air traffic is the ability of systems to gracefully degrade. In order to design graceful degradation into TBO, knowledge of the potential causes of degradation, and solutions is required. However, research specific to graceful degradation in a TBO environment is scarce. The following presentation reports on findings from a literature review that aimed to begin to address the existing gaps. The presentation identifies and summarizes the literature to date on the potential causes of degradation and the solutions that may be applied to a TBO context. A framework of graceful degradation, developed from the literature, is presented. A specific focus is given to the contribution of the human operator. |
