Abstract
Validation is critically important when human performance models are used to predict the effect of future system designs on human performance. A model of air traffic control (ATC) operations was validated using a rigorous iterative model validation process that illustrated the success of representing ATC operations in NextGen en route operations. A gold-standard model was compared to three model iterations that represented different task management and human time estimation processes when dealing with handoff operations.
