Air Traffic Controller Workload Environment - ATC Communication Aspect

Workload inside the Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) environment consists of elements of several main areas, which cover all possible Air Traffic Control (ATC) activities. Aside from flight rules procedure tasks inside specific areas, Air Traffic flow structure and density; in particular ATC technology usage and the ATC Communications, are playing a very significant role. In order to continue in the ATCO Workload experimentation by the simulation testing with the CASS (Connective Autonomous Surveillance System), we are firstly obliged to describe precisely all elements which contribute to ATCO workload environment. The main outcome of this paper, dealing with ATCO workload, is to describe one of these elements inside the Workload area, which is the ATC Communication area.
