AI Technology to Support Air Traffic Controllers, Frequentis Says
Frequentis AG CEO Norbert Haslacher believes AI technology can enhance the work environment for air traffic controllers. The focus is on automating routine tasks and providing decision-making support.
Vienna-based technology firm Frequentis AG has stated that artificial intelligence (AI) technology can significantly improve working conditions for air traffic controllers. This perspective was shared by the company's CEO, Norbert Haslacher, in a recent interview.
Haslacher explained that AI is envisioned not as a replacement for human controllers, but as a supportive tool. It aims to automate routine tasks and provide additional data to aid decision-making, thereby allowing controllers to dedicate more attention to complex and critical situations.
The company views AI integration as an opportunity to enhance both the efficiency and safety of air traffic management systems. The objective is to reduce controller workload and bolster their capacity to manage growing air traffic volumes.
Frequentis suggests that leveraging AI could lead to a more efficient aviation system, emphasizing human-machine collaboration. The company intends to continue developing solutions that integrate AI into air traffic control operations.
