This volume contains the contributions of the participants in the NASA Ames Research Center workshop on the traffic-alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS) implementation for aircraft with cathode ray tube (CRT) or flat panel displays. To take advantage of the display capability of the advanced-technology aircraft, NASA sponsored this workshop with the intent of bringing together industry personnel, pilots, and researchers so that pertinent issues in the area could be identified. During the 2-day workshop participants addressed a number of issues including: What is the optimum format for TCAS advisories. Where and how should maneuver advisories be presented to the crew. Should the maneuver advisories be presented on the primary flight display. Is it appropriate to have the autopilot perform the avoidance maneuver. Where and how should traffic information be presented to the crew. Should traffic information be combined with weather and navigation information. How much traffic should be shown and what ranges should be used. Contained in the document are the concepts and suggestions produced by the workshop participants.read more

Effect of a Range Ring and of Intruder Vertical Rate on Pilot Perception of Separation on a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information
TL;DR: Aim of this study was to determine the effect of a range ring and intruder vertical rate on pilots' perception of aircraft separation as viewed on a cockpit display of traffic information.
Effect of Multiple Range Rings VS. a Single Range Ring on Pilot Perception of Vertical Separation on a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information
TL;DR: Rizzardi et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated the effectiveness of using multiple range rings versus a single three-mile range ring on pilot's perception of future vertical separation as viewed on a cockpit display of traffic information.

Pilot performance research for TCAS
TL;DR: In this paper, three separate studies have been conducted to ascertain pilot responsiveness to advisories generated by the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) and two of them evaluated pilot responses to normal TCAS II resolution advisories.
Effect of intruder vertical rate on pilot perception of separation on a cockpit traffic display
TL;DR: The effect of Intruder Vertical Rate on Pilot Perception of Separation on a Cockpit Traffic Display and the impact of this rate on pilot perception of separation are studied.
Incorporation of Traffic Collision Alert System (TCAS) Advisories on Heads-up Displays: Enhanced Pilot Response
TL;DR: It was found that HUD-mounted TCAS displays yielded better performance results (p=0.05), while resulting in significantly less workload, compared with conventional displays.
