The SESAR long-term research  project , C-SHARE, has been awarded  “Best Conference Student Paper award” at the 2014 IEEE Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics in San Diego, California.

The prize was awarded to Rolf Klomp, a PhD student from Delft University of Technology (TUD) for his research performed within C-SHARE - Joint ATM Cognition through Shared Representations. The jury of professionals based their decision on both the technical quality of the paper, as well as the oral presentation of the work.

C-SHARE is set up in collaboration between the NLR, Thales D-CIS Lab, and TUD.  The project focuses on how higher levels of automation and the human air traffic controller can work together to effectively manage the future European airspace. The main research objective of C-SHARE was to determine a possible “common ground” for effective human-automation coordination in 4-Dimensional Trajectory Based Operations (TBO). Following the Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) approach, the project has identified  a common frame of reference for the air traffic control task, which acts as a basis for shared human-automation reasoning. The research has resulted in the development and validation of a novel prototype constraint-based controller decision support interface for future trajectory-based air traffic control.
