ASIVAL - Assessment of the Air Traffic Management System Configuration Subject to Validation
Overview
Background & policy context:
Significant increase in air traffic and congestion requires a future European Air Traffic Management System which uses new technologies. The ATM system will be implemented by gradual introduction of innovative subsystems developed within several projects. Although these subsystems will have their own validation, an overall modular ATM system validation is also necessary. Based on an assessment of the ATM system configuration in comparison with the expected ATM goals, decisions will be taken to adopt alternative technologies or procedures.
Objectives:
The main objective of the ASIVAL project is to provide a consistent, concrete and feasible modular validation process for the future ATM system.
The objectives consist of the following key points:
- To identify classes of requirements for overall validation of the future European Air Traffic Management System.
- To classify the elements of the future EATMS scenario with respect to overall validation.
Methodology:
The project will involve:
- Identifying and characterising a candidate scenario for a European ATM system on the basis of a review of related studies.
- Providing a workable statement of an ATM system breakdown strategy for overall validation.
- Assessing ongoing and foreseen validation activities to identify the best system and component configuration.
- Being part of a concerted action for validation with the projects GENOVA and CASCADE.
