ATCion: Exploring the Design of Icon-based Visual Aids for Enhancing In-cockpit Air Traffic Contr...
summary
Built an icon-based system called ATCion icon set that turns action words into icons and preserves numeric tokens, places panels in the line of sight, and follows validated design principles. Design work involves 22 pilots and 1 controller, a clarity check of 30 icons validated with 5 pilots, and a prototype tested in a VR control study with 12 pilots. Results show higher readback accuracy, lower memory workload, no degradation in flight control, and majority preference for icons over text.
