ResAErch #3

Space Guidance in the Age of Need Author: Topias Pulkkinen, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jian Guo is a long-time associate professor and researcher at the Faculty’s Space Department Space systems engineering is a broad field with many of its uses expecting a sharp increase in demand over the coming decades. The risks posed by space debris are being re-evaluated, and resources are targeted to aid the field’s development at an accelerating rate. In this 3rd ‘ResAErch’ article, we interviewed Jian Guo, an associate professor in the space department, working in space systems engineering with a specialization in Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) and autonomy. He has worked on numerous research papers in space systems engineering, collaborating with a broad range of scientists and engin...

Exploring Human-like Automation in Air Traffic Management

Would you prefer to work with automation that solves problems just like yourself? Would such individual-sensitive automation be able to overcome the acceptance issues observed with the introduction of new decision-support automation? This PhD research aims to find out. In the Air Traffic Management domain, automation is expected to enable the necessary traffic capacity that is needed to meet the future demand for air travel. However,  introduction of increasingly sophisticated automation is at risk of being rejected, and threatening the required growth. This article discusses ongoing PhD research that is exploring the benefits of individual-sensitive automation capable to solve conflicts between aircraft as intelligently as an air traffic controller. Exploring automation bias We have re...
