The Ohio State University is working to improve something many of us take for granted: Air traffic control. The university is collecting data for what promises to be the "next generation" of aviation.
Last week, 10 Investigates revealed why members of Congress say the nation's air traffic control system is at a “breaking point.” 10TV discovered a severe shortage of controllers around the country and alarming and dangerous discipline reports.
OSU's aviation department is working on a long-term solution. Air traffic control systems now work on outdated ground-based technology.
An average smartphone has more ways to communicate than the current plane guidance system. That's why OSU is helping to pioneer a new system. It would use GPS, texting and data sharing between aircraft to get planes to their destinations quicker and safer.
