Abstract: This study describes human-automation collaboration strategies for detection and monitoring of conflicts in air traffic. Automation is represented by two medium term conflict detection tools in Air Traffic Management: the Conflict and Risk Display (CARD) and the Flight Leg Tool (FLEG). Qualitative and quantitative results from a field experiment during competence assurance are reported. A quantitative analysis based on eye tracking was conducted to examine the extent of visual attention to the tools. The qualitative analysis describes patterns of human-automation collaboration, of visual scan and tool usage. Implications of the human-automation collaboration strategies are discussed.
