Radical revision of air traffic management

The problems of contemporary air traffic management are caused by the lack of any systematic design of the ATM system. Essentially classic ergonomic principles applied to existing technology can resolve the current capacity crisis. To demonstrate this approach, a skeleton of a systematic re-design of ´en-route´ air traffic management is presented. A demonstrator (TROTSKY) has been constructed. This demonstrator has been shown to be easy to learn, resistant to human error and capable of handling much more traffic than existing systems.
