Overview
Background & policy context:
European air transport demand has experienced a sustained period of high growth in recent years and is expected to continue growing. This situation has led to increased congestion, inefficiency, safety concerns and increased costs for Air Traffic Management (ATM) system users and providers. In an attempt to solve these problems, several national and international initiatives have been launched in recent years. The stage reached by these studies now requires serious consideration to be given to the validation process for the overall enhanced ATM system being designed to cope with the increased air traffic demand predicted for the 21st century.
Objectives:
The objectives of the CAVA project were:
- to merge, consolidate and synthesise all of the work done to date in the field of ATM validation, particularly under the EC 4th Framework Programme and related initiatives,
- to organise a series of technical workshops on validation so as to receive feedback from European experts in ATM and validation in close co-ordination with the AVENUE project,
- to consolidate the feedback received at these meetings as informal input to AVENUE and the 5th Framework Programme.
