Description of the research topic:

The research topic intends to assess the actual and objective physiological and mental condition of the air traffic controllers, in order to guarantee that they are not temporarily surpassing their workload and capacity. Workload measurements are already applied in the present systems, however, these are based on subjective self-assessments, and cannot capture the actual and more particularly the dynamically changing mental conditions of the air traffic controllers in emergency or unexpected events.

The targeted system is based on micro-sensors being fully integrated in the controllers workstation. From the on-line measurements, the system will be able to assess the actual mental and physiological condition, and trace contorllers not being in the optimal “state”. The research area is already addressed since a couple of years, and a zero prototype was already made in collaboration with hungarocontrol. The results were showed at the world ATM congress in 2014.
