Air Traffic Controllers' Digital Assistant (ATC-DA) for Conflict Resolution: Can AI Effectively Support ATCOs, and How Can We Fine-Tune It?
As part of the JARVIS project, ENAC and Airbus Defence and Space conducted the first validation session from March 3rd to 7th.
Simulation Environment
The experiment took place in a dedicated test room at ENAC, using the GENETICS Airbus Defence and Space platform. The setup included:
- DALIA radar interface for visualization and clearances
- TESLA Tactical Controller Tool (TCT) for conflict detection and resolution, developed by Airbus DS
Methodology
- Each participating ATCO held a valid en-route radar license with over 10 years of experience
- Pilot and adjacent sector coordination were automated
- During the 3 days of experimentation, participants performed traffic separation under different scenarios:
- Baseline Scenario: Using only the TCT for conflict detection
- Solution A: TCT + AI-powered resolution advisory, trained on real ATCO decision-making behavior
- Solution B: TCT + resolution advisory based on expert judgment
A second session is scheduled for late March with three additional ATCOs.
A huge thank you to our participants—no Digital Assistant can be designed without their invaluable expertise!
Stay tuned for the outcomes!
