Abstract
Information content analysis based on information theory can be used to evaluate stress in controllers. The method is applied to the analysis of radiotelecommunication in air traffic control: ‘ message types ’ are defined and their information content is evaluated using the syntactic level of information. Related to time, the measurements of information provide a stress factor. Preliminary results indicate the usefulness of the method.Keywords
