Conception de la répartition dynamique d'activités entre opérateur humain et machine dans le contrôle de trafic aérien Leçons tirées d'une collaboration pluridisciplinaire

Abstract

This paper presents several studies concerning the design and evaluation of dynamic activity allocation between human operator and machine, in air traffic control. Three task allocation methods were evaluated: implicit, explicit, and explicit assisted. These methods differed in terms of the allocation manager, the operator or the machine. Our experiments highlighted the limits of the concept of dynamic allocation: the poor quality of the problem space structured by the machine led to negative interference with the controllers' representation of the situation. We are currently exploring a new principle of function delegation that will allow the air traffic controller to define the tasks (the problem) and then delegate the corresponding functions to the machine.
