This paper documents human-in-the-loop (HITL) evaluations conducted during fiscal year 2006 to define, validate, and refine the Initial Integrated Collaborative Rerouting (ICR) concept and requirements. ICR is an enhanced, more collaborative version of rerouting that involves customers early in the process and allows them to submit preferences for reroutes. The ICR concept is based upon reroute modeling, generating route options from a precoordinated database, and collaboration between Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) traffic management and customers. The evaluations focused on each step within the concept using prototypes developed by The MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) and Metron Aviation, Inc. to give the look and feel of a seamlessly integrated system. Evaluation participants included FAA traffic managers, commercial carriers (aircraft dispatchers, air traffic coordinators), and general aviation (flight followers). Participant feedback and data collected during the HITL evaluations have been captured in this document.
