【 摘 要 】

Two computer programs, the National Airspace System (NAS) Data Management System (NDMS) and the Performance and Objective Workload Evaluation Research (POWER) program, have been developed to provide a platform for quantifying en route air traffic controller activity and taskload. The NDMS program extracts data produced by en route mainframe computers and encodes the information into database files that provide efficient storage and access. The POWER program calculates specific measures using aircraft positions and controller data entries. The development and use of such measures is important for establishing baseline activity measures and for evaluating modifications to ATC systems.
