Final Report and Recommendations for Research on Human-Automation Interaction in the Next Generation Air Transportation System

This is the final report of a project to review JPDO documents as they pertain to human-automation interaction, review past system failures in aviation and other contexts involving human-automation interaction, conduct a workshop of JPDO, NASA and academic experts in the area, perform analyses of selected problems, and make recommendations for NASA research needed to support JPDO on these aspects of NGATS. This report first reviews reports issued separately on the failures review and the workshop findings as well as several papers and technical notes. Recommendations for needed research in human-automation interaction are then detailed.
