38、lt;/b></p><p>　　在未來的幾十年，洋區(qū)空中交通管制的通信和監(jiān)視能力將明顯改善，空中交通流量將顯著增加。這就需要將新的制度和程序納入海洋空中交通管制工作站。冰島民航總局協會（ICAA）目前正在努力尋找整合雷克雅維克海洋中心使用的用戶界面的方法，以提高管制能力。工作站由三個不同的用戶界面組成，包括展示給管制員電子飛行進程單的飛行數據處理系統（FDPS），顯示雷達數據的雷達顯示系統和一個為FDPS

39、備份的現狀顯示系統。提出了三種集成方法， 并運用整體分析方法從中挑選一種。通過整體分析法和管制員的表現得出，集成飛行數據處理系統在空間雷達顯示的方法比較適合。紙質標準和合格管制員的表現可以反映出設計標準和從時間到空間的過渡。本文從兩個用戶測試論述了ICAA的設計標準和測試結果。</p><p><b>　　引言</b></p><p>　　在未來的幾十年里，洋區(qū)的空中

40、交通流量將會顯著增長，而現行的空中交通管制技術和方法將不足以應對空中交通流量的增長。即使在今天，空中交通系統容量已經接近飽和，致使乘客不能得到他們所需要和期望的相應服務。流量的增加和對安全的重視將要求縮小最小間隔和更有效的洋區(qū)空中交通航路。自動相關監(jiān)視廣播（ADS-B）和管制員與飛行員的數據鏈通信系統（CPDLC）等新技術的發(fā)展適應了不斷發(fā)展的空中交通管制領域。</p><p>　　程序設計者一直在研究如何將空管

41、技術工作站和移動工具合并成一個數字世界。其中有些工作一直將注意力投放于如何用電子進程單取代紙質進程單。結合特定的工作環(huán)境和空管人員特定的學習，如MacKay等，提出了一些建議，其中最成功的想法是允許管制員用筆填寫電子進程單的同時在雷達顯示屏上突出顯示該飛機。通過增加飛行進程單使他們通過實物和計算機界面相對應，要么保持紙質進程單，要么用通過鍵盤和顯示器實現的電子進程單。多個領域的實踐證明多媒體的出現將會使得飛行進程單和雷達的結合成一個協調

42、的整體。他們指出，一體化整合了信息減少了負擔，但是卻降低了管制人員的心理素質。ATC工作站的所有單位作為一個協作的工作環(huán)境，需要管制員、飛行員、航空公司和電信運營商一同協調配合。塞尼亞已經將工作進行到開發(fā)數據鏈了，其中有動畫、觸摸屏、質地和顏色分級和手勢等特點。</p><p>　　冰島民航空管局的管制室有三個顯示系統，分別是顯示電子進程單的飛行數據處理系統、顯示雷達數據的雷達顯示、對飛行數據處理系統和雷達數據的

43、備份顯示。這些系統用四個不同的顯示器呈現給管制員，這不僅占用了很多地方，而且在高度緊張的工作環(huán)境下對管制員來說是極為不方便的。目前ICAA正在尋找辦法來集成這些顯示界面以提高管制效率。本文為洋區(qū)空中交通管制提出了一種空間顯示的方法，可以簡化管制工作和更容易地轉換到新技術，提高管制效率。</p><p><b>　　時間顯示</b></p><p>　　在這種方法中，雷

44、達數據處理和飛行數據處理系統的顯示作為飛行進程單的一部分。添加一個新的顯示框，在雷達顯示器上顯示航空器位置信息。新增的這個顯示框同步更新航空器的雷達數據。將相同高度層的航空器分配到一個組，雷達數據的備注信息也增加到這個新的顯示框。顯然，航空器在被雷達覆蓋的時候這個額外的顯示框和增加的信息是唯一可用的；如果航空器沒有被雷達覆蓋，則這個航空器的相關信息就不會顯示在屏幕上。</p><p><b>　　空間顯

48、視是主要的問題?；靵y和可靠性是未來工作的主要努力方向，但是目前的問題是如何解決信息源以及如何在下一個版本改善飛行監(jiān)控能力。入侵航空器，即航空器偏離分配的飛行計劃，可能危害飛行安全，空管系統的安全和效率。因此，需要一致性監(jiān)測，檢測偏差以便糾正危害飛行安全的行為。在空間顯示的航空器如果飛行計劃與其不匹配，則標牌會以紅褐色標注。</p><p>　　該標準的另一個特點是允許管制員目視航空器的位置，并通過來回移動滑塊來定

50、;/b></p><p>　　標準設計和用戶測試的結果有三點。首先，受管制航空器的標牌沒有足夠的區(qū)分監(jiān)視來源。因此需要進一步研究以確定航空器是否要將區(qū)分措施添加到標準中，例如彩色編碼。</p><p>　　其次，需要對混亂的信息進行檢查，以確保航空器不會再穿越高度的時候出現問題，違反ICAA規(guī)定。在用戶測試過程中，管制員表達了對信息量的顯示和色彩編碼數量的要求。</p>

51、<p>　　再次，因為在第二代標準里添加了迭代技術支持，管制員更關注航空器容量監(jiān)視能力。然而，想要真正確定的空間顯示是否更能適用于飛行監(jiān)視和空中交通指揮，需要在標準設計和空中交通管制兩個方面驗證。這個研究將決定是飛行進程單（時間）還是空間顯示更適合空中監(jiān)視和空中交通指揮。有趣的是，當管制員被問及他們是否考慮將來空中交通管制使用空間顯示時，有五六個人說會。這個明顯的信號表明，空間顯示設計將是未來研究的重點。</p>
