Overview

Background & policy context:

All across Europe, different types of Airport Traffic Management Systems (APTMS) are used to manage the various aspects of airport traffic. These include airport stand allocation, airport/airline ramp management and arrival/departure scheduling/sequencing systems. In addition, several specific automation tools are currently under development to support functions such as surface movement guidance and control. However, little effort is directed towards real integration of these systems so as to maximise the performance of the overall airport system.

Objectives:

The project's main aim was to define and demonstrate the feasibility of integrating and co-ordinating the various components of existing or future APTMS. The specific aims of the project were to:

analyse the user needs for integration and co-ordination of the APTMS functions;
design a method for integration;
analyse the decision making process;
design and demonstrate an open architecture to support the method for integration.
