99--Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI)

This is a market survey for Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI). The FAA envisions the use of CDTI will support the use of aviation data sources such as ADS-B for both air- and ground-based flight operations. CDTI is envisioned to increase NAS capacity, efficiency and safety by providing pilots with traffic information tailored for specific traffic applications. The FAA is seeking to better understand industry, academia and government capabilities in the area of CDTI human factors to inform Research and Development investments in the areas of: - Understanding human factors and operational impacts of CDTI usage. - Integration of CDTI data elements into existing flight deck displays. - Use of CDTI to support trajectory-based operations. - Measurement of the impact of CDTI on pilot performance, aviation operations and safety. - Identification of certification and training issues related to CDTI usage. The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interests and capabilities. All interested parties are requested to submit the following information: - Demonstrated technical experience and knowledgeable personnel in the areas of human facotrs and cockit display design. - Methods for measuring pilot human performance. - Experience in designing prototype cockpit displays for experimental testing. - Experience in conducting part-task and full-task human-in-the-loop (HITL) simulations. - Demonstrated knowledge and application of human system interaction (HSI) principles to data integration. - Understanding of ADS-B application to CDTI air- and ground-based applications. - Experience in collecting human factors data using non-experimental methods. The FAA encourages interested organizations to partner where needed to address the above topic areas. All interested parties are advised that the FAA will not pay for any information or any administrative costs incurred associated with respolnse to this Market Survey Announcement. Therefore, any cost associated with this market survey submission will be solely at the interested party's expense. The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)code for this effort is 541330, with a size standard of $6.5 million. Responses containing marketing materials are not desired and may be discarded without review. One, some, all or none of the respondents to the Market Survey may be requested to provide additional information at the option of the Government. No evaluation of vendors will occur and vendor participation in any informational session is not a promise for future FAA business. Information obtained will be used to support the development of an acquisition strategy for CDTI human factors research and development.
