Operational Information

A significant fraction of communications between air traffic controllers and pilots is through speech, via radio channels. Automatic transcription of air traffic control (ATC) communications has the potential to improve system safety, operational performance, and conformance monitoring, and to enhance air traffic controller training. We present an automatic speech recognition model tailored to the ATC domain that can transcribe ATC voice to text. The transcribed text is used to extract operational information such as call-sign and runway number. The models are based on recent improvements in machine learning techniques for speech recognition and natural language processing. We evaluate the performance of the model on diverse datasets.

Do So

The air traffic controller provides a service and can do so effectively only with the cooperation of his customers, namely the pilots of many different types of aircraft. For the purpose of this paper it is assumed that pilots do not wittingly take avoidable risks and are fully capable of finding their way from one place to another by the shortest available route. According to I.C.A.O., A.T.C. exists to provide ‘safety and expedition’, but, left to his own devices, the pilot can take care of his own ‘expedition’ so that the main function of A.T.C. is to provide a safety service. When A.T.C. has to regulate flights for safety reasons, however, it may have to ask a pilot to deviate from his chosen flight path. It then has to assume a measure of responsibility for expedition, but safety is still the prime consideration.

Air Traffic Controllers

Under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sponsorship, MITRE's Human Performance Assessment Group is contributing to the design of an expert system to support air traffic control. We are working closely with a team of expert, full-performance-level air traffic controllers to capture the formal and informal rules they use in maintaining flight safety and efficiency. This paper documents our approach to working with these experts, the results of using that approach, and a distillation of lessons learned.

The formation or mangement transition of Air Traffic Control or Air Traffic Services (ATC/ ATS) policy in reference to the Law Number 1 of Year 2009 on Aviation, in article 271 paragraph (1) and (2) and (4), international regulation of ICAO Document 9 191 / 3 Manual on Air Navigation Services Economy as well as other related regulations and policies in participating the increase of aviation safety and service quality, Air Traffic Services performance and Airport Service in entire national air space. In order to make transition formation of Air Traffic Control/Air Traffic Services management to the goverment, it is necessary to do steps to review some aspects as follow : legal/regilation aspect, institutional/organization al aspect and operational/service aspect. Management of Air Traffic Control/Air Traffic Services (ATC/ATS) has to be caharacterized as public services, reducing bureaucracy, integrated service, non-profit oriented and financially independent and organizationally effective and efficient in atool to create unity and entity as well as state's security. The unitary Stafe of Republic of Indonesia has be run by the goverment nationally in a single container.
