Narrative:

The morefield sector was busy with an r-side (me) and l- side and a d-side. Cpr X was stopped at a temporary altitude of FL290 for crossing traffic at FL310. Air carrier Y was level at FL310 established on J6 swbound. Cpr X was filed and cleared ldn J134 colns J6 hvq, however at the colns intersection cpr X did not make the turn onto J6, he continued wbound at FL290 on J134. A 6 mi dri was placed on air carrier Y. Once cpr X was clear of the crossing traffic and air carrier Y on J6, I climbed him to his requested altitude of FL390. At this point cpr X was still tracking wbound on J134. When I noticed cpr X tracking swbound I stopped his climb and turned him to a 330 degree heading, at that point cpr X appeared to be tracking 220 degrees before I turned him. Since cpr X was established on J134 well west of the colns intersection, I thought he was cleared J134 wbound, since he was well north of the confines of J6. If cpr X had been on course west of the colns intersection on J6, I would not have climbed him and the incident would not have taken place. Supplemental information from acn 219881: cpr X flying southwest on J6 tracking to charleston VOR (huq) from colns intersection approximately 65 DME. ATC cleared us to climb to FL390 from FL290. At 29800 ft ATC told us to stop climb and ask our heading. We responded with our heading 240 degrees then were told to turn to a heading of 330 degrees and descend back to FL290 and were advised of traffic at 10 O'clock position and 4 mi. We then advised ATC we had traffic in sight. We then were advised to contact ZID. We then were told to fly direct to huq by ZID.

Title: CPR X NON ADHERENCE TO ATC CLRNC ROUTE NAV HAD LTSS FROM ACR Y. PLTDEV. SYS ERROR.

Narrative: THE MOREFIELD SECTOR WAS BUSY WITH AN R-SIDE (ME) AND L- SIDE AND A D-SIDE. CPR X WAS STOPPED AT A TEMPORARY ALT OF FL290 FOR XING TFC AT FL310. ACR Y WAS LEVEL AT FL310 ESTABLISHED ON J6 SWBOUND. CPR X WAS FILED AND CLRED LDN J134 COLNS J6 HVQ, HOWEVER AT THE COLNS INTXN CPR X DID NOT MAKE THE TURN ONTO J6, HE CONTINUED WBOUND AT FL290 ON J134. A 6 MI DRI WAS PLACED ON ACR Y. ONCE CPR X WAS CLR OF THE XING TFC AND ACR Y ON J6, I CLBED HIM TO HIS REQUESTED ALT OF FL390. AT THIS POINT CPR X WAS STILL TRACKING WBOUND ON J134. WHEN I NOTICED CPR X TRACKING SWBOUND I STOPPED HIS CLB AND TURNED HIM TO A 330 DEG HDG, AT THAT POINT CPR X APPEARED TO BE TRACKING 220 DEGS BEFORE I TURNED HIM. SINCE CPR X WAS ESTABLISHED ON J134 WELL W OF THE COLNS INTXN, I THOUGHT HE WAS CLRED J134 WBOUND, SINCE HE WAS WELL N OF THE CONFINES OF J6. IF CPR X HAD BEEN ON COURSE W OF THE COLNS INTXN ON J6, I WOULD NOT HAVE CLBED HIM AND THE INCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 219881: CPR X FLYING SW ON J6 TRACKING TO CHARLESTON VOR (HUQ) FROM COLNS INTXN APPROX 65 DME. ATC CLRED US TO CLB TO FL390 FROM FL290. AT 29800 FT ATC TOLD US TO STOP CLB AND ASK OUR HDG. WE RESPONDED WITH OUR HDG 240 DEGS THEN WERE TOLD TO TURN TO A HDG OF 330 DEGS AND DSND BACK TO FL290 AND WERE ADVISED OF TFC AT 10 O'CLOCK POS AND 4 MI. WE THEN ADVISED ATC WE HAD TFC IN SIGHT. WE THEN WERE ADVISED TO CONTACT ZID. WE THEN WERE TOLD TO FLY DIRECT TO HUQ BY ZID.
