| Variant title | Color and visual factors in Air Traffic Control displays |
| Abstract | This study investigates color use in air traffic control (ATC) facilities to understand the ways color is being used, the associated benefits, and its influence on task performance. It was found that, while color use has some advantages for information processing, such as reducing workload and saving time, it also has disadvantages and may introduce negative effects in task performance. The benefits of color use were identified, and rationales were provided for how to use color properly to optimize those benefits. The negative effects of color use with respect to associated cognitive factors were analyzed, and two checklists that evaluate advantages and negative effects of color use in ATC displays were derived which can be used for design prototypes and acquisition evaluation. |
