A Security Analysis Method for Remote Tower Application at Feeder Airport

Abstract

: In recent years, the building of the conventional airport tower is usually difficult and costly because of the complicated terrain in remote areas. Moreover, at feeder airport is facing with the problem of controllers shortage. It leads that the remote tower technology has been rapidly developed. The remote tower uses a panoramic display instead of an external view to provide remote air traffic control services. It is necessary to evaluate the satisfaction of safety requirements before the remote tower is put into operation. In this paper, the overall framework of the remote tower is firstly constructed. Secondly, a series of hazard sources are identified and a risk analysis assessment method is proposed in which the risk possibility/severity matrix is carried out to get the outputs. Finally, the responding releasing method are proposed based on the results of the mentioned risk analysis. The results of this work provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of remote tower constrained with the regulation of CAAC.
