Problem Statement and GoalProblem Statement and Goal
• Capacity constraint, improvements in form of Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
• Incremental development of Air Traffic Control (ATC) system in USA
• Unexpected consequences• Need to know more about adoption of automation in
ATC – to facilitate easier and faster transitions from one system to another
• Goal – to assess the automation adoption by air traffic controllers

URET DescriptionURET Description
Usage variation:
Different teams use it in a different wayUsage differs from the intended usageUsage differs across centers

URET DiffusionURET Diffusion
Diffusion of innovation: “is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system “
4 elements:Innovation - URETCommunication channels – inter personal and inter
facility FAA networksTime – length of URET usageSocial system – individual en-route facilities

Adaptation: “the degree to which an innovation is changed or modified by a user in the process of its adoption and implementation “

URET Issues
False conflict alertsTraining
15
HypothesesHypotheses
Hypothesis 1: The longer the controller uses URET, the more complete his use of its capabilities will be.
Time
Learning
16
HypothesesHypotheses
Hypothesis 2: Quality and depth of training will affect the use of URET.
17
HypothesesHypotheses
Hypothesis 3: New controllers will use all main functionalities more than the old controllers.
18
HypothesesHypotheses
Hypothesis 4: Adaptation of URET use will result when controller works the sector alone, and if the controller works alone most of the time, the adaptation will be even more pronounced.
19
HypothesesHypotheses Hypothesis 5: Strategic environment is
more suited for full URET use than the tactical environment.

HypothesesHypotheses
Hypothesis 6: D-side controllers who use the full URET functionality will offer conflict resolution to their R-side controller more often than D-side controllers who don’t use the full URET functionality.

Conclusions and Conclusions and RecommendationsRecommendations
Adoption and adaptation of automation not new – not applied in ATC
Use diffusion of innovation to investigate innovation adoption in ATC
Future work - Survey development and administration
