Overview

Background & policy context:

Airports more frequently constitute critical bottlenecks in the European aviation system. Due to land use restrictions, noise problems and funding issues their extension is often difficult, time consuming or even impossible. To keep aviation and its connection to ground transportation systems running with acceptable quality, existing capacities must be utilised as well as possible by smart technologies and management concepts.

Objectives:

The main objective of the project "SIE-A-SMGCS" is the creation of a fully functional and cost-efficient surface movement and control system for optimizing the ground movements of aircrafts on airports between parking positions and runways (taxiing). A simulation and optimisation based information system shall replace traditional experience based manual ground movement protocols.

Methodology:

 ATRiCS had the following work packages (WPs):

  • Requirement specification, conceptualization
  • Development of planning component
  • Airport Surface Traffic Simulator (ASTRAS) with airport model
  • Transport monitoring (AWARE)
  • Advanced Conflict Prediction and Visualization (ACOPS)
  • Conflict resolution (ACORE)
  • Human Machine Interface (HMI)
  • Development and adaption of ALCS (Airfield Lighting Control System)
  • Pilot test
