Design and evaluation of taxi navigation displays [airports]

The presentation of an electronic map of the airport relative to the position of ownship is regarded as a means to improve the safety and efficiency of surface operations. This paper discusses the design rationale behind a surface moving map display based on an analysis of the surface navigation task and the associated information requirements. It is illustrated how the various elements depicted in the display aim to support the pilot with information collection, integration and extrapolation. Implementation, testing and evaluation are briefly addressed.
