AISA - AI Situational Awareness Foundation for Advancing Automation

Objectives

The project investigates how to increase automation in air traffic management. The main project objectives:

• explore the effects of human-machine distributed situational awareness and opportunities for automation of monitoring tasks in en-route operation,

• identify the data needed by air traffic controller to ensure that the proposed solution is correct and develop the method to provide that data,

• investigate methods for adaptation of the automated system to changes of the environment ensuring business continuity and safety.

AISA will present a vision of automation in a specific ATM operational environment (en-route ATC) and address the challenges of transparency and generalization. During the project, a strategy for providing the necessary information to air traffic controllers in order to make them trust the automated system will be devised. Methods to increase the ability of an automated system to adapt to novel circumstances will be explored.
