Abstract This document describes human factors challenges that need to be considered in the implementation of planned enhancements to the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS), Common Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS), and the ARTS Color Display (ACD) in the Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) environment Some of the enhancements are tools that have been developed specifically to increase efficiency and capacity. Others provide information (regarding weather or aircraft position) that is more precise than the information currently available to controllers. The scope is limited to the air traffic control (ATC) specialist's workstation and specifically excludes Airways Facilities and Air Traffic Management issues. Issues are discussed within the TRACON environment and between environments, where applicable. The intent of this document is to pave the way for successful future integration efforts by identifying issues that need to be considered in the implementation process.
