Integrated Information Display for Air Traffic Control Applications W Y Leung Civil Aviation Department Abstract There are a large number of real time aircraft traffic displays, CCTV pictures, traffic overloading alerts, operational procedures/documents that are used by air traffic controllers to monitor and control the aircraft flying to or departing from the Hong Kong International Airport or flying within Hong Kong airspace.

This System contains all the above information/data and in addition relevant procedural and/or law documents, and provides a means to select up to six information pages for simultaneous display. The System has also been expanded for use by the senior management of the Department. This serves as a good example for applying Information Technology (IT) to facilitate and enhance the efficiency of air traffic control operations. 1. Introduction With the robust growth in air traffic, the Hong Kong International Airport now handles around 750 flight movements a day and there is a daily average of around 350 flights overflying the Hong Kong Flight Information Region. It is expected that the above traffic will continue to increase. With such dense traffic, there are a large number of real time information and/or data to be pr
