Abstract

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a co-planar constraint-based airborne separation assistance display. The display is a combination of previous single-plane presentations, with additional visualization of the interactions that exist between these planes. Each of these displays combines a spatial representation of the airspace with a velocity maneuver space, that relates own aircraft maneuver variables to the shape and affordances of the airspace. The evaluation presented in this paper consisted of two experiments: an active conflict resolution task, and a passive SA assessment. Both experiments compare the co-planar concept with a baseline display that is very similar, but does not visualize planar interactions. Results showed that although pilots performed well with either display, performance was consistently better with the augmented display.
