Abstract

In this report, a simulation system called the Collaborative Airport Traffic System (CATS) was used as a testbed to study human factors issues that arise in the design of a departure metering program [1-11] to manage the inventory delivered to the spots at an airport over time. The focus of this particular study was on procedures, functional requirements, information requirements and interface design concepts for supporting collaboration [12-19] between ARTCC and TRACON TMCs and the Departure Reservoir Coordinator (DRC) responsible for managing a departure metering program during a convective weather scenario.
