1. Evolution of the human operator role and automation
The target vision presented in the ATM Master Plan and in the EASA artificial intelligence (AI) Roadmap entails a technological evolution that will transform the way air traffic services are provided: human operators will delegate a substantial number of tasks to the automation, and both together will form a human - machine teaming able to handle an increasing traffic demand more safely and efficiently.
The research requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving safety, human performance, legal, insurance, regulatory, etc. expertise and shall be use-case driven. The objective of
