He is currently working on the design of a concept air traffic control workstation and an experiment to compare controller behavior between the conventional and redesigned system.īen has received numerous awards and honors for his research, including the South Jersey Professional Societies (IEEE / AIAA / INCOSE / ITEA / NSBE) Scientist of the Year in 2000. Willems has conducted have investigated concepts such as the effect of traffic load levels, controller involvement, automation, and multi-sector control on air traffic controller behavior. He joined the FAA in 1998 after he had conducted air traffic control human factors research as a contractor for three years.

The resulting set of standards can be tailored to meet the needs of the system or program at hand.

The HFDS broadens the focus to include both air traffic and technical operations systems and has been modified into a set of standards instead of a set of guidelines, providing a common source of FAA-specific design requirements. The HFDS replaces and expands upon the Human Factors Design Guide (HFDG) published in 1996 and all HFDG chapter updates.

An additional goal is to facilitate use of appropriate design criteria by organizing the document so that users can easily locate the needed information. The purpose of the HFDS is to provide a single easy-to-use source of human factors design criteria, oriented to the needs of the FAA mission and systems. It is an exhaustive compilation of human factors practices and principles integral to the procurement, design, development, and testing of FAA systems, facilities, and equipment.

The Human Factors Design Standard (HFDS) is an important work in the field of human factors. Atlantic City International Airport, NJ: Federal Aviation Administration William J. Human Factors Design Standard (HF-STD-001).
