Control Room Design for Airport Operations and Air Traffic Monitoring

There are very few working environments in the world where the margin for error is as small as it is in an airport control room.

All aviation activities including aircraft movement through airspace and runway operations and gate operations and security alerts are managed by personnel who operate workstations to process live information and make safety-related decisions. The stakes don't get much higher than that.

And yet, the physical environment those people work in, the consoles, the layouts, the ergonomics, often gets less attention than the technology sitting on top of it. That's a mistake. Because in a 24/7 high-pressure operation like airport management or air traffic control, the workspace isn't background detail. It's operational infrastructure.
