Hazard definition and identification

  • A hazard is a corrupted or incomplete perception of

visual information in the context of ATCOs tasks

  • 27 hazards were identified by 5 ATCOs in a workshop
  • 13 with severity class A (Accident)
  • Proposed hazard classification

Hazard examples

Inability to

  • detect objects on RWY when checking RWY occupancy for

giving a landing clearance (wildlife, a/ c, ground vehicles, pedestrian)

  • detect weather conditions (wind shearing)
  • check a/ c for abnormal appearance (protection of Pitot-

sensors not removed, engine failure and smoke generation)

  • check gears in the case of a low pass tower
  • detect unauthorized movements in the area of responsibility
  • to immediately detect go arounds of a/ c

A complete overview will be published soon.

Motivation and approach Which design parameters contribute most to mitigate risk? Assum ptions

  • A set of configuration setups of the HMI are available
  • Boundary conditions are determined

– Weather – Traffic volume / density – Airport layout – Concept of operations

Concept

  • Provoke hazard occurrence by performing experiments

(HIL) with threat appearance

  • Varying design parameters (assumed as independent

input variable)

  • Assess HMI setups by resulting frequency of occurrence

Experimental concept

  • Operational scenario includes

– Inbound traffic (automated landing clearances) – Outbound traffic (automated push back and taxi clearance) – Hazard appearances – Airport (single runway layout)

  • Primary Task

– Clear for lineup – Clear for take off

  • Secondary Task

– Detect threat events

Violation of the primary task

  • The missing ground

surveillance (B) contributes most to the frequency of RWY incursion and violation of vortex separation minima.

  • The panoramic view/

ground surveillance availability (A) contributes least.

Conclusion

  • An assessment of HMI setups has been

performed that points out contributing effects on the probability of hazard

  • ccurrence.
  • The assessment identifies safety relevant

design parameters.

  • The development of safety requirements may

take into account identified safety relevant design parameters.
