Abstract

Kontrola zračnog prometa podrazumijeva kompleksne zadaće, a uspješnost njihovih izvršavanja uvelike ovise o kognitivnim sposobnostima čovjeka. Prilikom provođenja svojih zadataka kontrolori koriste naprednu tehnologiju koja mora biti prilagođena njihovim potrebama. Proces donošenja odluka kontrolora u cilju pravovremenog rješavanja potencijalnih konflikata i koordiniranja prometa uključuje procesuiranje velike količine ulaznih podataka o svim zrakoplovima za koje je odgovoran. Da bi se omogućilo efektivno planiranje trenutnog i budućeg prometa, neophodno je kontinuirano održavanje situacijske svjesnosti. Kontrolori trebaju brzo reagirati, odrediti prioritete i koristiti prikladne metode kako bi osigurali potrebnu separaciju između zrakoplova i ekspeditivan protok prometa. Zaduženi su za izdavanje odobrenja, uputa i informacija pilotima zrakoplova.

Abstract (english)

Air traffic control is a complex system where many tasks have to be completed and the success of their fulfillment greatly depends on the cognitive abilities of a person. While performing their tasks controllers use advanced technology that must be adjusted to their needs. The decision making process of a controller is aiming to solve potential conflicts and coordination of traffic which includes processing a great amount of aircraft data in due time. To enable effective planning of current and future traffic it is necessary to constantly maintain situational awareness. Controllers have to react in a fast manner, determine priorities and use appropriate techniques to ensure the needed separation and expeditious flow of air traffic. They are in charge of issuing clearances, information and instructions to aircraft pilots.
