Abstract
The Federal Aviation Administration expects a large increase in air traffic over the next 15 to 20 years. In response, the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) has been proposed, which will use newer technologies and automation to shift the way air traffic is managed. Many of the proposed changes need to be tested before implantation begins, but it is difficult to conduct human factors tests on an environment that does not yet exist. We describe an air traffic control (ATC) simulator developed for this purpose. NextSim is an ATC research simulator that collects performance, workload, and situation awareness data to address human factors/ergonomics issues that might arise in NextGen.
期刊介绍：
Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications is intended to serve the needs of practicing human factors/ergonomics professionals who are concerned with the usability of products, systems, tools, and environments. It provides up-to-date demonstrations of the importance of HF/E principles in design and implementation. Articles, case studies, anecdotes, debates, and interviews focus on the way in which HF/E research and methods are applied in the design, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, training, and manufacturing processes of a product or system.
