Abstract

A system designed for air traffic control (ATC) training is described. The system consists of a computer simulation of an ATC radar workstation, a computer model of an ATC expert and other components that allow for automatic evaluation and coaching of an ATC student. The rationale for such a system is presented, along with a discussion of computer intelligent training methodologies. The architectural design of the system is described and those design features implemented in the current version of the system are discussed. Finally, there is a discussion of current and future research and system development: ideas for incorporating intelligent tutoring into the system software, techniques to be used by the system in evaluating student performance, and parameters and metrics to be used in generating ATC training exercises
