Adacel Technologies Limited, a developer of air traffic management (ATM) and simulation technology, has formed a collaboration with Smart Eye, a provider of advanced eye tracking solutions, to integrate the technology into Adacel’s MaxSim air traffic control (ATC) simulation platform.
By bringing eye tracking to the simulation, operators will be able to engage with deeper insights into controller attention, decision-making, and situation awareness, creating an immersive, data-driven experience. Instructors can use the data to focus on specific areas for improvement and enhance the overall training outcome.
“Adacel has consistently led the evolution of ATC training technology,” said Michael Saunders, Vice President of Adacel. “Trusted by the FAA, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Army, our simulation platforms prepare controllers for the most complex and high-stakes operations. Partnering with Smart Eye now brings advanced eye tracking analytics into MaxSim, giving instructors unprecedented insight into attention, decision-making, and situational awareness — further enhancing safety and training effectiveness.”
“This partnership underscores Smart Eye’s commitment to applying our eye tracking technology where it can have the greatest operational impact,” commented Solmaz Shahmehr, Vice President of Applied AI at Smart Eye. “Working with Adacel allows us to bring sophisticated human performance analytics into ATC simulation, ultimately enhancing training effectiveness and aviation safety.”
