Abstract

The behavior of an onboard alarm system called Air Traffic Collision and Avoidance System (ACAS) has been scrutinized to provide some evidence with respect to its role in monitoring and controlling Air Traffic Management. Its behavior was then contrasted to the 'interdependent matrix' proposed by Johnson, Bradshaw, Feltovich, Jonker, (2010) whose aim is to characterize coactive design. ACAS turned out to be more 'useful' to monitor traffic than 'necessary' to avoid mid air collision. However it scored low on those dimensions associated with coactive design.
