Assessment of Ramp Times (ART 2) Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) Simulation - Final Results

Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) sub-project conducted a human-in-the-loop (HITL) simulation to assess various strategies for Ramp controllers to deliver aircraft to the spot at a specified time. Results show that the rate of compliance with the spot time improved when Ramp controllers first complied with a gate hold advisory for pushing aircraft off the gates. Results also show that Ramp controller workload was lower when they only had to focus on complying with the gate hold advisories.
