With the increased demand for the air travel the air traffic control (ATC) systems have been improving over the years. Today, the advances in the technology can enable even more capacity and better performance for the air travel. With those goals in mind, two distinct, but similar programmes are striving to develop new ATC systems: Next Gen in the USA and SESAR programme in Europe. Both programmes aim at developing new systems for the implementation around the year 2020. The innovation adoption and adaptation is illustrated by the story of User Request Evaluation Tool development and implementation, followed by the discussion of main lessons. First, the lessons learned from the innovation process of the tool itself are discussed, to be followed by the discussion of the interaction of various organizations that were involved.

Much of what I am going to say is opinion and many will find it controversial. It is therefore essential to start off from a firm and incontrovertible basis of fact. By this means it should be possible to narrow down the controversy considerably. Table I represents the state of aviation in this country in comparison with the USA. These facts are confined to civil aviation since it is the growth of civil aviation that I am talking about.

Air travel at 600 m.p.h. to 650 m.p.h. in the next decade and the use of multi-seat twin rotor helicopters on internal air routes to help to solve terminal delay problems, bring in their train growing problems of Air Traffic Control. Full use of high speed civil transports and helicopters does not seem practicable within the British Isles unless the problem of the siting of landing strips is reviewed and unless ideas on this subject are recast in the light of growing experience.To the commercial airline pilot Great Britain is indeed a “tight little island.” It will appear smaller yet when the de Havilland Comet jet air liner operates to time-tables of approximately double the speed of most of the existing schedules of today.

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.

Automation has proceeded much further in connection with air navigation and air traffic control than it has in comparable aspects of the maritime service. There are many factors to account for this. By its nature, air travel involves risks which are greater and more urgent than those of sea travel and which, in focal areas, are high in all conditions of weather; its passenger/cargo ratio is vastly greater and this inevitably stresses the need for every possible aid to safety. These characteristics and others more obvious lead to ground control, control leads to centralization and uniformity and thus to the ready introduction of advanced developments and their imposition where appropriate on the airborne user.

Traffic Flow Management

For the travelling public in the late eighties and early nineties, the most disturbing characteristic of air travel must be delays. In Europe, this is certainly the case. These delays not only cause much inconvenience to the air travellers but also generate high costs for the aircraft operators. To a large extent, these delays are due to an imbalance between the air traffic demand and the capacity of the present Air Traffic Control (ATC) system in Europe.
