Abstract
This document presents standards and guidelines for the design of Information
Display Systems for Air Traffic Control (ATC). A computer-based Information
Display System (IDS) provides access to various types of information needed to
perform a job. The ATC environment and the time critical nature of Air Traffic
operations bring unique requirements for an IDS. We developed the standards and
guidelines provided here based on existing design guidelines and a study that
explored the information and design requirements in the various ATC domains. We
conducted structured interviews with 112 ATC Specialists to identify the
problems and benefits they
experience with IDSs in the field today. We also conducted workshops with
Specialists from the field to review and validate our findings. The standards
describe the elements that emerged as being critical in the design of an IDS for
ATC and the guidelines can be used to effectively implement the standards. We
also provide recommendations for human factors activities to support development
of IDS design and to evaluate the implementation of the standards.
