What is it useful for?
Human in-the-loop experiments to build the ATM environment piece by piece and to address detailed issues (e.g. airspace, tools, roles).
The focus is on operability.

What is the Technique?
• Real-time technique
• Small-scale and/or part-task
• Iterative in nature
• Gradually building and refining
• Examine the options, moving towards a clear goal

Approach
• Iterative process
• Allows modification of a specific research question to be introduced between sessions
• The overall approach needs to be structured
• Reasonable and achievable objectives

Advantages
• Flexibility
• Short duration
• Suited to early concept assessment/maturation
• Reduced cost: small scale and simplified environment, to focus on specific issues

Limitations
• Short-time scales are the major limitation One week sessions Time between sessions
• Training time
• Limits Examinination of the concept with multiple conditions Trends rather than performance measures Time to perform platform changes and tests between
sessions

Prototyping objectives
• Main objectives: initial assessment of operability and acceptability, refinement/maturation of a defined set of concept elements
• Secondary objectives: initial trends on some KPAs (Fast Time/Modelling required to provide consolidated performance figures)

En-route Results
• Airspace Fixed route network for arrival/departure flows (segregated
from overflights) Redesign sectorisation to suit traffic flows and segregated
routes Know vertical profile as part of RBT
• Tools Sector exit lists Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD) Trajectory Editor (TED)
• Training Method and duration (continuity of ATCos would help)
• Controllers happy that their recommendations appeared in subsequent sessions and during sessions

Issues/Next Steps…
• Additional Nominal Situations Weather Mixed Equipage Dynamic Military Activity
• Prefered Trajectories Company preferences ANSP preferences
• Operational Environment Information from cockpit to ATCO Support tools

In Conclusion
• Operability – user perspective go/nogo
• Iterative
• Cost-effective
• Continuity
• Short-Time as benefit and constraint
• Clear target
• Part of wider validation framework
