A Multimodal Dialogue System for Air Traffic Control Trainees Based on Discrete-Event Simulation

Abstract

In this paper we present a multimodal dialogue system designed as a learning tool for air traffic control officer trainees (ATCO). It was developed using our discrete-event simulation dialogue management framework with cloud-based speech recognition and text-to-speech systems. Our system mimics pilots in an air traffic communication, allowing the ATCOs to practice a control of a virtual airspace using spoken commands from air traffic control English phraseology.
