Abstract

With the continuous growth of air traffic and the increasing diversification of flight activities, the airspace operation situation is becoming more and more complex and changeable. Air traffic management, as an important foundation to ensure the development of aviation business, its safe behavior capability is of great significance to the safety of civil aviation operation. In order to explore the internal influence mechanism of the situation awareness of controllers on their safety behavior capacity under the background of air traffic control system with manmachine integration, the controllers of an air traffic control branch in a certain area were investigated, and 258 questionnaires were analyzed using structural equation model. The impact of the situation awareness on the safety behavior ability of controllers was studied from three levels: information perception, information understanding, and information prediction. The research results show that the three levels of controller's situational awareness have a positive impact on the controller's safe behavior ability, and the degree of impact from large to small is information prediction (0.675), information perception (0.383), and information understanding (0.275). At present, with the continuous intelligent development of air traffic control system, for the selection and training of controllers, it is necessary to increase the content of investigation and training of controllers' situational awareness.
