Task Analysis and Workload Study on En-route ATC
    To keep safe traffic flow, air traffic controllers make decisions and issue clearances to pilots based on their mental picture. At the same time, efficient and safe flow is required. Air traffic control (ATC) tasks involve a significant mental workload, which can not be observed on the outside. We focus on en-route ATC tasks in particular. We have been conducting real-time ATC simulation experiments and studying air traffic controllers' workload and taskload. The study is based on their tasks, analysis on ATC communication and controller own ratings. The study is also exploring an ATC support system that appropriately helps air traffic controllers.
