A Method of Integrating Information for SWIM

Abstract

Due to the rapid economic growth around the world, air traffic also has increased rapidlly. Today's Air Traffic Management (ATM) system is comprised of a wide variety of application developed for specific purposes, such systems use various custom communication protocols and each system has its own self-contained information system. For this reason, ICAO has proposed the concept of SWIM for effective exchange of information between providers and users, currently the lively research of SWIM is being in progress around United States and Europe. For keeping step with ICAO, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in Korea established the master plan and they have begun the research and the development of SWIM to integrate all aviation information systems by building navigation-based platform and to provide user-oriented navigation and aviation information services. In addition, Korea Airports Corporation was chosen as main research institution, and the development of SWIM test bed will be conducted until 2018 and a system for external services will be established by 2020. In this paper, we will briefly describe the structure of SWIM test bed sysem in progress at KAC, the data logger system of flight information, interface plans of AIXM-based system and WXXM-based system.
