Remote digital towers are capable of delivering affordable air traffic services as safely and efficiently as physical towers. The project aimed to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the capabilities of digital towers in terms of resilience, capacity and efficiency. The overall goal was to enhance the trustworthiness of AI-powered decisions in the context of remote digital towers on specific tasks, such as runway and taxiway monitoring. The project applied information visualisation techniques like visual analytics, data-driven storytelling, and immersive analytics in human-machine interactions (HMI). In doing so, the project was at the crossroads of trustworthy AI, multi-model machine learning, active learning, and UX for human and AI model interaction.
