Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a flight strip processing system, a flight strip processing method, a processing device, an electronic strip terminal, and a program. [Background technology]
[0002] Each air traffic controller who manages aircraft flights has a different airspace under their jurisdiction. During control duties, controllers maintain flight strips that contain information about the flight plans of the aircraft they control. These flight strips are displayed on terminals (electronic strip terminals) used by the controllers. Controllers also hand over paper flight strips (hereafter referred to as paper strips) when control is transferred. When an aircraft under control leaves the controlled airspace, the controller hands over the flight strip to the controller at the destination (control transfer destination) by handing over the paper strip or by performing a handover operation on the electronic strip.
[0003] As a related technique, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for displaying the flight status of aircraft, taking into consideration the characteristics of each aircraft model, when issuing air traffic control instructions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0020] A flight strip processing system (110) according to one embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a first diagram showing the system configuration of a flight strip processing system according to this embodiment. 1, the flight strip processing system 110 is configured by at least a processing device 101 and a plurality of electronic strip terminals 102 connected for communication with each other. The flight strip processing system 110 is an example of a management system for air traffic control.
[0021] The processing device (101) acquires flight plan information from another external system (103) and outputs it to an electronic strip terminal (102). The electronic strip terminal (102) is equipped with an electronic strip terminal screen (106). The electronic strip terminal (102) is installed at each control console (105) where the controller is stationed. The electronic strip terminal (102) displays an electronic strip (107), which is a flight strip for displaying flight plan information, on the electronic strip terminal screen (106). The electronic strip (107) is a long, narrow rectangular display information. The electronic strip (107) is used by the controller (104) and also by the supervisory chief controller (109). In addition, when the electronic strip (107) is operated by the controller (104), the electronic strip terminal (102) has a function to display additional information, last operation (108) information (operator, operation content, and operation time), next to the electronic strip (107), and encourages the controller (104) to recognize the additional information written in the last operation (108) in order to prevent human error.
[0022] The electronic strip terminal (102) is composed of a computer and a display or touch panel, and is used for each control console (105) or each controller (104). Each electronic strip terminal (102) is equipped with a screen (106) such as a display, and displays an electronic strip (107) on the screen (106). Each electronic strip (107) exists and is unique for each flight plan. The screen display of the electronic strip (107) is not limited to being displayed on only one electronic strip terminal (102), and the same electronic strip (107) can be displayed on the screens (106) of multiple electronic strip terminals (102) for information sharing.
[0023] The flight strip processing system (110) according to the present disclosure displays the last operation (108) in a linked manner next to the electronic strip (107). The last operation (108) includes information about the last operation performed by the controller, such as the identifier of the person who operated the electronic strip (107), the operation content, and the time of the operation. This allows not only the controller (104) to use the screen (106), but also the chief controller (109) to understand the operations performed by the controller (104) even when he or she looks at the screen (106) after looking away for a while.
[0024] FIG. 2 shows an example of information displayed on the screen of an electronic strip terminal. An alert window (202) can be displayed on the screen (106) of the electronic strip terminal (102). When a problem (conflict or erroneous operation) occurs, an alert is displayed in the alert window (202) of all related electronic strip terminals (102) and continues to be displayed until the problem is resolved. This encourages controllers to resolve the problem through consultation. For example, if multiple controllers attempt to perform different changes (such as replacing electronic strips or changing their contents) on the same electronic strip (107) at the same time, the flight strip processing system (110) will determine this as a conflict and display a notice of the conflict in the alert window (202).
[0025] Here, the flight strip processing system (110) according to this embodiment solves several problems.
[0026] (assignment a) In air traffic control, if a control tower or a chief controller takes their eyes off the electronic strip terminal for a moment while performing other tasks, it could lead to an accident. In response to this, the flight strip processing system (110) displays the last operation (operator, operation content, and operation time), so even if the control tower or a chief controller takes their eyes off the electronic strip terminal for a moment while performing other tasks, they can reconfirm the last operation by checking it.
[0027] (Assignment b) It may be difficult to identify who operated the device, what they did, and when they did it just by looking at the display on the electronic strip. In contrast, the flight strip processing system (110) displays the last operation (operator, operation, and operation time), making it possible to identify who operated the device, what they did, and when they did it.
[0028] (Assignment c) When an aircraft is scrambled, there may not be enough time to fill in information such as the aircraft's identification number when creating a flight plan. In response to this, the flight strip processing system (110) creates a blank electronic strip, but displays the last operation next to the electronic strip, showing the operator (creator), operation content (that it was created), and operation time, which can be shared with other controllers.
[0029] FIG. 3 is the first diagram illustrating the control work of a controller. FIG. 4 is a second diagram illustrating the control work of a controller. Figure 3 shows an example (3a) of air traffic control operations while checking paper flight strips, and an example (3b) of air traffic control operations while checking electronic strips displayed on the electronic strip terminal (102) by the flight strip processing system (110). Figure 4 shows an example of air traffic control operations when showing how to use paper strips. As shown in Figure 4, the paper strips are clipped into holders and arranged on a board in order of priority, such as scheduled takeoff times. In the flight strip processing system (110), the electronic strip terminal (102) displays the state in which the paper strips are arranged on the board by arranging the electronic strips on the display frame of the screen.
[0030] In the case of the control work shown in Example 3a of Figure 3, the controller (104) performs control work while checking a paper flight strip containing flight plan information. Each controller (104) is responsible for controlling a different airspace, and when the aircraft in question leaves the airspace they are responsible for, they hand over the paper flight strip to the controller (104) in charge. In the case of paper flight strips, they are handed over by hand.
[0031] On the other hand, in air traffic control operations using a flight strip processing system (110) as shown in Example 3b, electronic information, i.e., an electronic strip (107) that is an electronic version of a paper flight strip, is transferred between electronic strip terminals (102). Air traffic controllers (104) check the electronic strip (107) of the object they are controlling. As shown in Figure 3, the electronic strip (107) to be displayed may be different for each air traffic controller (104).
[0032] When an aircraft under control leaves the controlled airspace, the paper strip is handed over, or the electronic strip (107) is handed over to the controller (104) at the destination (to whom control is being transferred) by hand. At this time, if there is information to be transmitted, such as control instructions, it is written by hand in the case of a paper strip, or if it is an electronic strip terminal (102), the information is added to the electronic strip (107) using a keyboard or the like, and the handover is completed.
[0033] In the operation of such electronic strips, the use of paper strips or the display of electronic strips (107) by electronic strip terminals (102) is intended to allow the controller (104) to check the list of flight plans and priority order at a glance. However, there is a problem that, for example, it is difficult for a chief controller or a training supervisor to instantly grasp the control status of the controller (including trainee) he is training using only written or displayed information.
[0034] Figure 5 shows the control status of the control trainer and training supervisor in the control tower. For example, as shown in Figure 5, when there is a first aircraft (501) wanting to land and a second aircraft (502) wanting to cross (transit) the runway, the controller issues landing clearance to the first aircraft (501), and then considers whether a sufficient separation can be maintained, taking into account the time of landing on the runway, and then determines and instructs the second aircraft (502) whether it should cross the runway or wait. However, there are controllers (104), such as trainee controllers (104), who are unable to fully visualize the situation several minutes into the future. The controllers (104) are instructed by training supervisors (504), but the training supervisors (504) may be performing other tasks besides instruction. As a result, the training supervisors (504) may not immediately recognize the control situation of the controller (104), and may not immediately notice that the controller (104) has given instructions or made a mistake. Furthermore, there may be delays in recognition due to problems outside of the expected scope. In such cases, It is necessary to immediately recognize that the first aircraft (501) and the second aircraft (502) are approaching each other more closely than the standard. In this disclosure, by displaying the last operation (108), the training supervisor (504) can recognize how many minutes ago the controller (104) issued landing clearance, thereby predicting whether the second aircraft (502) will have time to clear the runway. In addition, when creating a flight plan during an emergency aircraft takeoff (scramble), there is a problem in that there is not enough time to fill in even the minimum information, such as the aircraft identification number. This disclosure solves this problem.
[0035] Figure 6 shows the control status in the control tower and the display status on the electronic strip terminal. Figure 6 shows an example of the control situation in the control tower. Let's assume that there is one aircraft waiting for landing clearance (602), one aircraft waiting for takeoff clearance (603), and two aircraft waiting for departure flight plan approval (604). The electronic strip terminal screen (106) in this case is shown in Figure 6.
[0036] In this case, the electronic strip terminal screen (106) of Figure 6 displays, in order of priority from the bottom, one electronic strip (605) for aircraft waiting for landing clearance (602), one electronic strip (606) for aircraft waiting for takeoff clearance (603), and two electronic strips (607) for aircraft waiting for departure flight plan approval (604).
[0037] In this embodiment, when the controller (104) performs an operation on the electronic strips (605) to (607), the electronic strip terminal (102) displays the operator, the operation content, and the operation time (timing of the operation, how many minutes before the operation) as the last operation (608) on the electronic strip terminal screen (106).
[0038] The controller (104) issues landing clearance instructions to the aircraft (602) waiting for landing clearance in order of priority, and records the landing operation (by writing, marking an icon, etc.) on the electronic strip (605). After the aircraft (602) waiting for landing clearance has landed, the controller issues takeoff clearance to the aircraft (603) waiting for takeoff clearance, and records the takeoff clearance (by writing, marking an icon, etc.) on the electronic strip (606). In addition, the controller at the ground control console issues departure clearance to the aircraft (604) waiting for departure flight plan approval, and records the departure clearance (by writing, marking an icon, etc.) on the electronic strip (607) when he has time.
[0039] Also, sometimes it is necessary to scramble another aircraft to depart with top priority, and it is necessary to re-adjust with aircraft that have already been given control clearance and consider where and how to cut in the scrambled aircraft. Even when busy like this, the controller needs to remember what control he performed a few minutes ago. In this embodiment, as shown on the electronic strip terminal screen (106) in Figure 6, by displaying the last operation (608), the controller can recognize at a glance what instructions he has given.
[0040] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of a flight strip processing system. For the aircraft (604) awaiting approval of its departure flight plan in Figure 6, the flight strip processing system (110) used in the control operations from receiving the flight plan through departure and takeoff to the control center that controls the air route will be explained using Figures 7 and 8.
[0041] In air traffic control operations, the processing device (101) first distributes flight plan information received from the external system (103) to the electronic strip terminals (102a) to (102e) of the air traffic control consoles (103a) to (103e). The electronic strip terminals (102a) to (102e) are collectively referred to as electronic strip terminals (102). Operation information based on operations performed on a certain electronic strip terminal is shared among the other electronic strip terminals (102a) to (102e) via the processing device (101).
[0042] For example, the air traffic controller (104) issues a takeoff clearance command to the aircraft (713) at the airport control console (103a), and then performs a takeoff clearance operation (by writing or operating an icon) on the electronic strip (107) at the electronic strip terminal (102a) of the airport control console (103a). The fact that the aircraft (713) has been cleared for takeoff is then shared via the processing device (101) with the electronic strips (107) displayed on the other electronic strip terminals (102b) to (102e). Based on the operation information, the electronic strips (107) of all the electronic strip terminals (102a) to (102e) display the operator, operation details, and operation time (timing of operation, how many minutes ago the operation occurred) as the last operation (108).
[0043] (Explanation of operation) 8 is a diagram showing the processing flow of the flight strip processing system. An example of the processing outline of the flight strip processing system (110) will be described below. First, the processing device (101) receives flight plan information of a departing aircraft from another system and distributes the flight plan information to each electronic strip terminal (102a) to (102e) (step S1).
[0044] When the controller (104) operates the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the sub-control console (103b) to obtain departure approval, the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the sub-control console (103b) automatically displays information about the last operation on the electronic strip (107). The information about the last operation is transferred from the electronic strip terminal (102b) to the electronic strip terminal (102c) of the ground control console (103c). The electronic strip terminal (102c) displays the last operation (108) at the time of departure approval and transfer (step S2).
[0045] The electronic strip terminal (102c) of the ground control console (103c) obtains departure clearance through the operation of the controller (104) and enters it into the electronic strip (107). The controller (104) guides the aircraft to the runway. The controller (104) then transfers control to the controller (104) of the airport control console (103a). The electronic strip terminal (102a) of the airport control console (103a) displays the last operation at the time of entry and transfer (step S3).
[0046] When takeoff clearance is granted by the controller (104) at the electronic strip terminal (102a) of the airport control console (103a), the electronic strip terminal (102a) writes the information on the electronic strip. The electronic strip terminal (102a) transfers control to the electronic strip terminal (102d) of the departure guidance control console (103d) in the radar control room. The electronic strip terminal (102d) displays the last operation at the time of writing and transfer (step S4).
[0047] The controller (104) at the departure guidance control console (103d) in the radar control room and the controller (104) at the coordination control console 103e (flight plan operation console) perform control, and the electronic strip terminal (102d) and the electronic strip terminal (102e) transfer control to the control department. The electronic strip terminal (102d) and the electronic strip terminal (102e) place the electronic strip in a collection box (step S5).
[0048] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the process transition of the flight strip processing system. FIG. 10 shows a first example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 11 shows a second example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 12 shows a third example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 13 shows a fourth example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 14 shows a fifth example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 15 shows a sixth example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 16 shows a seventh example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 17 shows an eighth example of an electronic strip terminal screen. FIG. 18 shows a ninth example of an electronic strip terminal screen.
[0049] The processing described with reference to FIG. 8 will be described in further detail with reference to FIGS. 10 is an example of an electronic strip terminal screen, and as shown in this figure, it has a flight strip display area (1001) under control / monitoring and a window display area (1002). The window display area (1002) has multiple windows, such as a new flight plan display window (1103) and a departing aircraft list display window (1102). The electronic strip terminal (102) can display electronic strips in these windows.
[0050] (Step S1) In step S1, the processing device 101 receives flight plan information from other systems, such as an external system 103, and transmits it to the electronic strip terminals 102a-102e. The electronic strip terminals 102a-102e display the distributed electronic flight strip, electronic strip 1104, in the new flight plan display window 1103 and the departure aircraft list display window 1102, as shown in FIG.
[0051] (Step S2) The following describes the steps shown in step S2: departure approval by the controller at the secondary control console (103b), entry into the electronic strip terminal (102b), transfer of control, receipt of flight plan information, distribution to other electronic strip terminals (102), etc. In step S2, the controller at the secondary control console (103b) drags and drops the electronic strip (1204) displayed in the new flight plan display window (1203) on the electronic strip terminal (102b) to the controlling / monitoring flight strip display area (1201). This operation indicates that the electronic strip (1204) is now under control of the electronic strip terminal (102b). The electronic strip terminal (102b) also displays "Last Operation" (1205) next to the electronic strip (1204). At this time, the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the sub-control console (103b) notifies the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e) via the processor (101) that the electronic strip (1204) is under control.
[0052] When the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e) are displaying the electronic strip (1204) in the flight strip display area (1201) under control / monitoring, they also display the last operation (1205). This allows the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e) to share information about how many minutes ago the controller (104) using the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the secondary control console (103b) performed the operation to put the aircraft into control. In addition, the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the secondary control console (103b) shares the content displayed in its own departing aircraft list display window (1102) with the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e). The other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e) can share information indicating that the aircraft is under control by displaying the control console display icon TB1 (1206) in the control console display icon TB1 (1206) in the control console display window (1102) of their own terminals. The "TB1" in the control console display icon TB1 (1206) may be the identifier of the sub-control console (103b).
[0053] The controller at the secondary control console (103b), after coordinating with other agencies, radios the aircraft (713) to approve the departure flight plan, and registers the approval of the departure flight plan on the electronic strip (1305) at the electronic strip terminal (102b).
[0054] At this time, the controller at the secondary control console (103b) places the cursor on the electronic strip (1305), right-clicks, and clicks the Departure Flight Plan Approval button (DEP) (1303) from the displayed quick action (1302), as shown in Figure 13. This causes the electronic strip terminal (102b) at the secondary control console (103b) to display the Departure Flight Plan Approval icon (DEP) (1304) on the electronic strip (1305).
[0055] In addition, the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the sub-control console (103b) updates the display of the last operation (1306) according to the operation content. In addition, the electronic strip terminal (102b) of the sub-control console (103b) transmits the operation information to the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e) via the processing device (101) to share it.
[0056] The controller then instructs the aircraft (713) to contact the controller at the ground control console (103c). The electronic strip terminal (102b) at the secondary control console (103b) then processes the transfer of control, as shown in Figure 14. In this process, the controller at the secondary control console (103b) right-clicks on the electronic strip (1405), displays the quick actions (1402), clicks the Handover button (1403), and clicks the desired control console from the displayed list of transfer candidates (1404) to transfer control. This causes the electronic strip (1405) to disappear from the flight strip display area (1401) under control / monitoring. The electronic strip terminal (102b) of the secondary control console (103b) transmits the transfer of control of the electronic strip (1405) to the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102c to 102e) via the processing device (101), and updates the control console display icon TB1 (1407) currently in control to information indicating the identifier of another control console, such as the ground control console (103c) to which control has been transferred.
[0057] (Step S3) The following describes the processing of taxiing instructions and control transfer by the controller at the ground control console (103c) in step S3. A screen image of the electronic strip terminal (102c) at the ground control console (103c) is shown in Figure 15. The controller at the ground control console (103c) learns that an electronic strip (1505) has been added to the flight strip display area (1501) under control / monitoring, and also learns from the controller at the secondary control console (103b) in last operation (1506) how many minutes ago control transfer (HO: handover) took place.
[0058] The controller at the ground control console (103c) instructs the aircraft (713) to taxi to the runway, and after completing taxi control, transfers control to the controller at the airport control console (103a). In this control operation, the controller at the ground control console (103c) right-clicks on the electronic strip (1505) displayed in the flight strip display area (1501) under control / monitoring, displays quick actions (1502), and selects a candidate for transfer (1504) to transfer control. The electronic strip terminal (102c) of the ground control console (103c) transmits the transfer of control of the electronic strip (1505) to the other electronic strip terminals (102a, 102b, 102d, 102e) via the processing device (101), and updates the control console display icon (1507) currently in control to information indicating the identifier of another control console, such as the airport control console (103a) to which control has been transferred.
[0059] (Step S4) The following describes the takeoff clearance and takeoff time given by the air traffic controller at the airport control console (103a) and the process of handing over control in step S4. A screen image of the electronic strip terminal (102a) at the airport control console (103a) is shown in Figure 16. The air traffic controller at the airport control console (103a) knows that an electronic strip (1605) has been added to the flight strip display area (1001) under control / monitoring displayed on the electronic strip terminal (102a) and, from the display of last operation (1606), knows how many minutes ago the handover of control was made by the controller at the ground control console (103c). The air traffic controller operating the electronic strip terminal (102a) at the airport control console (103a) issues a takeoff clearance command to the aircraft (713), and when control is finished, hands over control to the controller at the departure guidance control console (103d). The controller operating the electronic strip terminal (102a) of the airport control console (103a) right-clicks on the electronic strip (1605) in the flight strip display area (1601) under control / monitoring, displays the quick action (1602), and then right-clicks on the transfer control button (1603) displayed in the quick action (1602) to select one of the transfer destinations displayed as transfer destination candidates (1604), thereby transferring control to the selected transfer destination.
[0060] The fact that the electronic strip terminal (102a) at the airport control console (103a) has transferred control of the electronic strip (1605) is transmitted to the other electronic strip terminals (102b-102e) via the processing device (101). The other electronic strip terminals (102b-102e) update the control console display icon TA1 that is currently in control. The controller at the airport control console (103a) moves the electronic strip (1605) that has finished control at the control tower to the electronic strip retrieval window (1607) by dragging and dropping it.
[0061] (Step S5) The control and control transfer at the departure guidance control console (103d) and the coordination control console (flight plan operation console) (103e) in step S5 will now be described. A screen image of the electronic strip terminal (102d) at the departure guidance control console (103d) is shown in Figure 17. The controller at the departure guidance control console (103d) learns that an electronic strip (1705) has been added to the flight strip display area (1701) under control / monitoring, which is displayed on the screen of the electronic strip terminal (102d), and also learns from the controller at the airport control console (103a) in the last operation (1706) how many minutes ago control was transferred (handover).
[0062] The controller at the departure guidance control console (103d) issues control instructions (heading, altitude, speed, etc.) to the aircraft (713) and performs operations to record the instructions on the electronic strip (1705). At this time, the controller at the departure guidance control console (103d) right-clicks on the electronic strip (1705) to display the quick action (1702), and presses the altitude instruction button (1708), heading instruction button (1709), and speed instruction button (1710) respectively to input the instructions, or selects the corresponding value (e.g., altitude, heading, speed) from the numerical candidates displayed by pressing each button. At this time, the electronic strip terminal (102d) at the departure guidance control console (103d) displays the instructions in the last operation (1706) area. The controller at the departure guidance control console (103d) transfers control to the control department when the aircraft (713) leaves the control area. The controller at the departure guidance control console (103d) stores the electronic strip (1705), which has completed its role, in the electronic strip recovery window (1707) by dragging and dropping it.
[0063] <Other embodiments of the invention> (Example of use of the invention in the case of arrival control) Although the flow of control differs from that of departure control, the flight strip processing system (110) displays the last operation every time a control transfer, control instruction, or operation on the electronic strip is performed, just like in the case of control of a departing aircraft, to alert the controller.
[0064] (Example of application of the invention in case of passing aircraft control) Although the flow of control differs from that of departure control, the flight strip processing system (110) displays the last operation every time a control transfer, control instruction, or operation on the electronic strip is performed, just like in the case of control of a departing aircraft, to alert the controller.
[0065] (Example of use of invention in monitoring by a chief air traffic controller) FIG. 18 is an image diagram of the electronic strip terminal screen of the chief monitor console. The chief controller constantly monitors the operations of the controllers. As shown in Figure 18, the electronic strip terminal (102) installed at the chief monitoring console displays the electronic strip (1805) being monitored in the flight strip display area (1801) for controlling / monitoring. By monitoring the contents of the last operation (1806) displayed next to the electronic strip (1805), which changes every time a controller at each control console operates, the chief controller can grasp at a glance what operations the controllers are performing.
[0066] (Example of use of the invention in the case of conflicting operations) FIG. 19 is an illustration of a situation where two controllers' operations conflict with each other. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the process when conflicting operations occur between controllers. As shown in Figure 19, when Controller T1 (1904) tries to move Electronic Strip A (1901) below Electronic Strip C (1903) [1] and Controller T2 (1905) simultaneously moves Electronic Strip C (1903) above Electronic Strip A (1901) [2], Controller T1 (1904) and Controller T2 (1905) attempt to perform different operations simultaneously, resulting in a conflict of operations.
[0067] At this time, the electronic strip terminals (102) of the flight strip processing system (110) resolve the conflict by displaying an error window (1909) and a last operation (1910) on the electronic strip terminal screen. For example, the conflict is displayed on each electronic strip terminal (102) connected to the flight strip processing system (110) [3]. In addition, the operation of controller T1, who performed the earlier operation, to move electronic strip A (1901) below electronic strip C (1903) is reflected on each electronic strip terminal (102) connected to the flight strip processing system (110), and the last operation (immediately preceding operation) of controller T1 is displayed [4].
[0068] The process up to conflict resolution by the flight strip processing system (110) will be described with reference to FIG. First, controller T1 (1904) moves electronic strip A (1901) below electronic strip C (1903) on the electronic strip terminal screen (step S2002), which is detected by the processing device (101).
[0069] Controller T2 (1905) also moves electronic strip C (1903) onto electronic strip A (1901) on the electronic strip terminal screen (step S2003), which is detected by the processing device (101). As a result, the processing device (101) detects the occurrence of a conflict (step S2004).
[0070] The processing device (101) displays an alert screen (1909) on the electronic strip terminal screens of all the related electronic strip terminals (102) to inform them that the operation of the controller T2 (1905) could not be processed due to a conflict (step S2005).
[0071] The processing device (101) executes the processing related to the movement operation of the controller T1 (1904) who processed earlier, and reflects the movement operation on the electronic strip terminal screens displayed on all related electronic strip terminals (102) (step S2006).
[0072] The processing device (101) displays the last operation of the controller T1 (1904) on the electronic strip screens displayed by all the related electronic strip terminals (102) (step S2007).
[0073] Controller T2 (1905) checks whether there is a problem with the content of the alert and the content of the previous operation (step S2008). If there is a problem, controller T2 consults with the chief controller, etc., and if his (1905) opinion is adopted, he operates the rearrangement of the electronic strips again (step S2009).
[0074] In this case, the processing device (101) executes the processing of the controller T2's electronic strip movement operation and reflects it on the electronic strip terminal screens displayed by all related electronic strip terminals (102) (step S2010).The processing device (101) also displays the previous operation (last operation) of the controller T2 (1905) on the electronic strip terminal screens displayed by all related electronic strip terminals (102) (step S2011).
[0075] <In case of scramble (emergency takeoff)> FIG. 21 shows an electronic strip created in a hurry at the time of scramble (emergency departure) at the electronic strip terminal.
[0076] In the case of an aircraft scramble (emergency takeoff), priority is given to creating a blank electronic strip (2101) as quickly as possible, as shown in Figure 21. After that, information such as the departure time is entered into the electronic strip (2101), but the last operation (2102) ensures that the blank electronic strip (2101) created first is the electronic strip (2101) for the scramble (emergency takeoff), and that the controller who created it and how many minutes ago can be shared with other controllers as quickly as possible.
[0077] (First learning process) FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a radar screen. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a tenth example of an electronic strip terminal screen. The flight strip processing system (110) may use AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to display suggestions (advice) for operations to be performed on the electronic strip when the aircraft reaches a reference position.
[0078] Specifically, the processing device (101) acquires, as first acquired information, the identifier of an aircraft displayed on the radar screen (FIG. 22) of a specific device and the position information of the aircraft. The aircraft position information may be the distance or angle from the radar (from the center of the radar screen). The processing device (101) also acquires, as second acquired information, each electronic strip displayed on the electronic strip terminal (102), the identifier of the aircraft included in the electronic strip, operation information for the electronic strip, and the time of operation. The operation information may include the operation content performed by the controller on the electronic strip, the rate at which the operation was performed, the elapsed time since tracking began by the radar device corresponding to the radar screen being viewed by the controller, and so on. The processing device (101) also acquires correct answer information indicating the relationship between the first acquired information and the second acquired information when the aircraft's position and the operation content at that position are appropriate.
[0079] The processing device (101) then performs machine learning on the relationship between the first acquired information, the second acquired information, and the correct answer information, thereby generating a first learning model for inputting aircraft position information and identifying appropriate timing and appropriate operation content for an operation to be performed on the aircraft in accordance with the position information as output information. The processing device (101) then inputs the first acquired information, including the aircraft's position information, into a neural network generated using the first learning model, and identifies information on whether the timing is appropriate for the position information and, if so, appropriate operation content. If the processing device (101) determines, using the first learning model, that the timing is appropriate in accordance with the aircraft's position information and outputs the appropriate operation content, it displays operation candidates (2311, 2312) indicating appropriate operation content on the corresponding electronic strip of the aircraft. Multiple operation candidates may be displayed for the appropriate operation content based on the degree to which they indicate its appropriateness.
[0080] In this way, the processing device (101) displays the operation candidate with priority. Furthermore, when inputting instructions to the electronic strip, the learned operation candidate can be displayed, for example. Note that the above-mentioned aircraft device identifiers and aircraft position information are examples of information acquired during air traffic control operations. If the operation of the controller using the electronic strip terminal (102) conflicts (differs) with the operation candidate predicted and displayed as advice based on the learning results, the processing device (101) may display an alert screen on multiple electronic strip terminals (102) to warn of the conflict with the system's predicted result.
[0081] (Second learning process) FIG. 24 is a first diagram showing an example of report data generated in the second learning process. The flight strip processing system 110 may use AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to generate and output report data regarding operations of controllers on the electronic strip terminals 102. For example, the system may use machine learning to learn frequently performed operations by multiple operators.
[0082] Specifically, the processing device (101) acquires, as first acquired information, the identifier of an aircraft displayed on the radar screen (FIG. 22) of a predetermined device and the position information of the aircraft. The aircraft position information may be the distance or angle from the radar (from the center of the radar screen). The processing device (101) also acquires, as second acquired information, each electronic strip displayed on the electronic strip terminal (102), the identifier of the aircraft included in the electronic strip, operation information for the electronic strip, and the time of operation. The operation information may include the operation content performed by the controller on the electronic strip, the percentage of the operation, and the elapsed time since the radar device corresponding to the radar screen being viewed by the controller started tracking. The processing device (101) also acquires, from the first acquired information and the second acquired information, correct answer information indicating the combination of the operation content for the electronic strip and the information that indicates the correct relationship between the operation content and the aircraft's position when the operation is performed at the appropriate timing.
[0083] The processing device (101) then performs machine learning on the relationship between the first acquired information, the second acquired information, and the correct answer information, thereby generating a second learning model using the first acquired information and the second acquired information as input information to determine, as output information, whether or not an operation on the electronic strip corresponding to the aircraft was performed at the correct timing for the position information indicated by the first acquired information.The processing device (101) then inputs the first acquired information and the second acquired information regarding the operation on the electronic strip performed by the controller into the neural network generated using this second learning model, and outputs whether or not the operation on the electronic strip corresponding to the aircraft was performed at the correct timing.The processing device (101) calculates the ratio of the number of operations performed at the correct timing to the number of operations on the electronic strip.Furthermore, for operations in which the operation on the electronic strip corresponding to the aircraft was not performed at the correct timing, the processing device (101) calculates the difference between the timing of the operation and the correct timing (the difference when the timing is too late or too early). The processing device (101) generates first report data indicating the difference between the percentage of times that operations on the electronic strip were performed at the correct timing and the correct timing of operations when operations on the electronic strip corresponding to the aircraft were not performed at the correct timing. The first report data may include the date and time when the controller performed the control operation, the name of the controller (operator), the aircraft identifier (aircraft information), etc. The processing device (101) may display or print the first report data (2411) on an output device such as a terminal.
[0084] (Third learning process) FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an eleventh example of an electronic strip terminal screen. The flight strip processing system (110) may use AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to display a message indicating that it is time to take action on the corresponding electronic strip when the aircraft reaches a reference position.
[0085] Specifically, the processing device (101) acquires, as first acquired information, the identifier of an aircraft displayed on the radar screen (FIG. 22) of a specific device and the position information of the aircraft. The aircraft position information may be the distance or angle from the radar (from the center of the radar screen). The processing device (101) also acquires, as second acquired information, each electronic strip displayed on the electronic strip terminal (102), the identifier of the aircraft included in the electronic strip, operation information for the electronic strip, and the time of operation. The operation information may include the operation content performed by the controller on the electronic strip, the rate at which the operation was performed, the elapsed time since tracking began by the radar device corresponding to the radar screen being viewed by the controller, and so on. The processing device (101) also acquires correct answer information indicating the relationship between the first acquired information and the second acquired information when the aircraft's position and the operation timing at that position are appropriate.
[0086] The processing device (101) then performs machine learning on the relationship between the first acquired information, the second acquired information, and the correct answer information to generate a third learning model for specifying, as output information, the appropriate timing for an operation to be performed on the aircraft in accordance with the aircraft's position information, using the aircraft's position information as input information. The processing device (101) then inputs the first acquired information, including the aircraft's position information, into the neural network generated using this third learning model, and specifies whether the timing is appropriate for the position information. If the timing is appropriate in accordance with the aircraft's position information using the third learning model, the processing device (101) displays an operation candidate (2511) indicating that the timing is appropriate on the corresponding electronic strip of the aircraft.
[0087] (Fourth learning process) FIG. 26 is a second diagram showing an example of report data generated in the fourth learning process. The flight strip processing system (110) may use AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to identify whether or not the controller has performed appropriate operations regarding the aircraft's flight pattern (flight position), and store and output the results.
[0088] Specifically, the processing device (101) acquires third information including the identifier of an aircraft displayed on the radar screen (FIG. 22) of a specific device and multiple pieces of position information indicating the trajectory of the aircraft over a specific period of time. The aircraft's position information may be the distance or angle from the radar (from the center of the radar screen). Similarly to the above, the processing device (101) acquires, as second acquired information, each electronic strip displayed on the electronic strip terminal (102), the identifier of the aircraft included in the electronic strip, operation information for the electronic strip, and the time of operation. The operation information may include the content of the operation performed by the controller on the electronic strip, the rate at which the operation was performed, the elapsed time since tracking began by the radar device corresponding to the radar screen being viewed by the controller, etc.
[0089] The processing device (101) also acquires correct answer information indicating the relationship between the second acquired information and the third acquired information when the flight pattern indicated by the plurality of position information according to the passage of time of the aircraft and the operation content in the flight pattern is appropriate. Then, the processing device (101) performs machine learning on the relationship between the second acquired information, the third acquired information, and the correct answer information, thereby generating a fourth learning model that outputs, as output information, whether or not the controller performed appropriate operation for the flight pattern (flight position) of the aircraft based on the input information of the second acquired information and the third acquired information.
[0090] The processing device (101) then inputs third acquired information including position information indicating the aircraft's flight pattern into the neural network generated using this fourth learning model, and inputs second acquired information including operation information for the corresponding electronic strip input by the controller in that flight pattern, and outputs as output information whether the controller performed an appropriate operation for the aircraft's flight pattern (flight position).If the processing device (101) outputs as output information that the controller did not perform an appropriate operation for the aircraft's flight pattern (flight position), it links the aircraft's identification information, date and time, and flight pattern to the controller's identifier and records them in a database or the like.If the processing device (101) outputs an alert regarding the controller's operation in this flight pattern, it may further link the content of the alert to the controller's identifier and record the content of the alert in a database.
[0091] The processing device (101) generates second report data (2611) including information indicating the aircraft identification information, date and time, flight pattern, alert content, etc., which are recorded in association with the controller's identifier. The processing device (101) may display or print the second report data (2611) on a device such as an output destination terminal.
[0092] The above-mentioned last operation may be displayed by at least one of a mark, color, symbol, and flashing. In addition to the display, the last operation may be notified by at least one of a sound, lighting or flashing of the notification lamp, and vibration of the controller.
[0093] The alert on the alert screen may be displayed using a mark, color, or symbol, or may be displayed using at least one of the following: a flashing display, sound output, lighting or flashing of an external lamp, or vibration of the controller.
[0094] In the above process, the processing device 101 of the flight strip processing system 110 may store the operation history of the last operation of the electronic strip, including the operation content, the operator, and the operation time, and the display content of the alert screen due to the operation, as log information, linked to the flight strip.The processing device 101 and the electronic strip terminal 102 may then search for and display the stored information.
[0095] The processing device (101) may accumulate display information of an alert screen according to operations on the electronic strip, learn the relationship between the operations, aircraft position information, and display information by machine learning to generate a learning model, and use the learning model to output information of the alert screen according to input information of the operation information and aircraft position information, and display alert information related to the alert screen. This allows the processing device (101) to notify the controller of information related to the alert screen according to the controller's operations and the aircraft position.
[0096] (Explanation of effect) According to the processing of the flight strip processing system (110) described above, displaying the last operation improves the controller's understanding of the control situation. For example, after issuing a landing clearance, the controller controls the traffic while keeping in mind how many minutes after the aircraft will land, but when he is busy, it may be difficult to know how many minutes ago the landing clearance was issued. By displaying the landing approval and the operation time (how many minutes ago it was executed) in the last operation, the controller can recall the instructions he issued in the past and can also use it to make future predictions.
[0097] Furthermore, the processing of the flight strip processing system (110) described above makes it easier for the controller to recognize the transfer. As shown in FIG. 3, each controller (104) controls aircraft passing through their assigned area (airspace) from a control console (105). When an aircraft leaves their assigned area, the controller (104) transfers (hands over) the paper strip (flight plan printed on paper) containing the flight plan to the controller (104) in charge of the next area. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, when performing a control handover operation on the electronic strip terminal screen (106), the last operation (108) displays the operator (controller) who transferred control, the fact that control was transferred, and the time of the control handover. This makes it easier for the controller (104) to recognize that the electronic strip has been transferred (handed over) because the electronic strip is displayed on his or her own electronic strip terminal screen (106) and the last operation (108) highlights that the electronic strip has been transferred (handed over).
[0098] Furthermore, the processing by the flight strip processing system (110) described above makes it easier for the chief controller to grasp the situation. The chief controller monitors the control operations of all the controllers in charge and occasionally provides guidance to prevent problems. By displaying all electronic strips currently under control on the chief controller's electronic strip terminal screen (106) and checking the display of the last operation, it is possible to grasp the controller's operations at a glance. Furthermore, even if the chief controller takes his / her eyes off the controller temporarily to give instructions, he / she can later grasp the situation.
[0099] Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the processing device and the electronic strip terminal. As shown in Fig. 22, the processing device (101) and the electronic strip terminal (102) are computers equipped with various hardware components, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2701, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 2702, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 2703, a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 2704, and a communication module 2705. The flight strip processing system (110) and the electronic strip terminal (102) may also include a database instead of the HDD 2704.
[0100] FIG. 28 is a diagram showing the minimum configuration of the processing device. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing a processing flow by a processing device with a minimum configuration. In a flight strip processing system (110) consisting of a plurality of electronic strip terminals that share and display an electronic strip showing flight plan information for a specified aircraft, and a processing device that collects and processes data, operation contents, and operation records of the electronic strip, the processing device (101) has at least a display control unit 281. The display control unit 281 causes the electronic strip terminal (102) to display information about the most recent operation on the electronic strip in association with the display of the electronic strip (flight strip) on the electronic strip terminal (102) (step S2911).
[0101] FIG. 30 shows the minimum configuration of an electronic strip terminal. FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a processing flow by an electronic strip terminal with a minimum configuration. In a flight strip processing system (110) composed of multiple electronic strip terminals that share and display an electronic strip showing flight plan information for a specified aircraft, and a processing device that collects and processes electronic strip data, operation content, and operation records, the electronic strip terminal (102) is equipped with at least a display processing unit 301. The display processing unit 301 displays information about the immediately preceding operation on the electronic strip (flight strip) in association with the display of the electronic strip (flight strip) on the electronic strip terminal (102) (step S3111).
[0102] The processing device 101, the electronic strip terminal 102, etc., described above each have an internal computer system. The steps of the above-described processes are stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, and the computer reads and executes the program to perform the above-described processes. The processes of the electronic strip terminal 102 in the flight strip processing system 110 described above may be performed by the electronic strip terminal 102 under the control of the processing device 101, or may be performed by the electronic strip terminal 102 independently of the control of the processing device 101. When the electronic strip terminal 102 performs the processes by itself, it may communicate with other electronic strip terminals 102 via the processing device 101 to display the electronic strip or the last operation.
[0103] The program may be a program for realizing some of the functions described above, or may be a so-called differential file (differential program) that can realize the functions described above in combination with a program already stored in the computer system.
[0104] Note that part or all of the above-described embodiments can be described as, but are not limited to, the following supplementary notes.
