Creation of digital a telecommunication environment requires the integration of satellite and wideband wireless communication facilities into a single telecommunication system and development of hardware and software for formation and transmission of multimedia traffic in real time for harmonised air traffic control with scalable flight display systems. Given article is devoted to integral telecommunication environment for navigation and communication with fundamentally new flight display systems. Santrauka Skaitmeninei telekomunikacinei aplinkai sukurti reikalingas ne tik palydoviniu ir plačiajuostes bevieles telekomunikacines irangos integravimas I viena telekomunikacine sistema, bet taip pat ir technines bei programines irangos vystymas, siekiant sukurti ir perduoti realaus laiko multimedini eisma tam, kad būtu harmonizuotas skrydžiu valdymas su ivairaus pajegumo skrydžiu valdymo vaizduoklio sistemomis. Nagrinejama integrali telekomunikacine sistema, kuri skirta naujus skrydžio valdymo vaizduoklius naudojančiai navigacijai ir telekomunikacijai.

The study tested guidelines for the use of microprocessors in training spatial skills for air traffic control. The central issue was the use of time-compressed simulation to aid the development of skill in identifying turn points and rollout headings for aircraft. Two groups of subjects were used. One group trained with a real-time simulation of the task, while the second group trained with a time-compressed version of the task running about 20 times as fast as real-time trials. Both groups were then tested in real-time trials. The results indicate that time compresssion can be a useful technique for increasing the efficiency of training.

This study examined the utility of continuous operator state monitoring in predicting air traffic control officer (ATCO) workload and fatigue. Participants (N=8) were observed in live operational air traffic control environments for 60-minute periods. ATCO state was assessed using a real-time, computer vision-based system which tracked operator gaze and pupil diameter. Workload and fatigue were also assessed via the adapted Bedford Workload Scale and Samn-Perelli Fatigue Scale, respectively. Standard deviation of gaze was a significant predictor of both max and mean workload, showing a strong negative relationship with both subjective measures. Pupil diameter showed a significant positive relationship with operator fatigue. Our findings demonstrate the utility of continuous ocular metrics of workload and fatigue in operational environments.

Experience gained in the automation of air traffic control is of interest from more than one point of view, and not only because of the range and diversity of new and delicate problems to which this application of automation has given rise, and for which it is necessary to find simultaneous solutions. It has been necessary to design and develop new methods for the acquisition, processing and display of information and to link them with digital computers, for which a complex and voluminous ‘real-time’ software has had to be compiled and brought up to date without interrupting the procedure. But it is when it comes to visualizing the total pattern that the most difficult problems arise because the major decisions determining the success or failure of the operation have had to be taken without the possibility of acquiring any preliminary experience.Man and the computer have to work together in real time as harmoniously as possible to obtain the best results from the modern data processing systems that it was proposed to employ; it was therefore essential to consider very deeply the complementary roles which each was intended to play.To describe this research in detail or the solutions arrived at would not be of great interest to those other than specialists.
