This research describes an approach to an objective assessment of conflict detection in an air traffic control setting by analysing differences in several aspects of the eye metrics such as fixation counts, fixation duration, and successive comparison in fixation targets. In an experiment, these areas were measured with an eye-tracking device. The successive comparison revealed a great difference between the two states of conflict detection while fixation count and duration did not show any significant differences. This assessment can be a trigger and be potentially integrated into an adaptive automation model to aid operators in the event they fail to perform.
