The project aims to evaluate the I4D operational concept and the performance of the technical enablers. The flight trial was performed on 20th March 2019. An A320 aircraft equipped with I4D avionics flew between Tianjin Binhai International Airport (ZBTJ) and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (ZGGG). In this paper, the performance of flight trial was evaluated, including Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) performance, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract Extended Projected Profile (ADS-C EPP) performance, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) service performance, Controlled Time of Arrival (CTA) operations. The evaluation shows I4D offers safety gains with better air and ground trajectory information sharing. The efficiency of Air Traffic Management (ATM) system can be improved as the flight time of arrival is more predictable and precisely controllable. Meanwhile, these changes in operation can reduce both pilot and controller workload by using CPDLCC/ADS-C. Specifically, 62.7% of the regular communication time can be saved. Besides, Top of Descent (TOD) changes during the progress of CTA operations, thus, its information is necessary to help controllers. In addition, some suggestions are derived from this trial. The analyses and evaluation in this paper will help shed light on policies development of I4D implementation.","PeriodicalId":129864,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE/AIAA 38th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127299107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present case, the future concept of flight operations includes a single-pilot on airside and a human ground-based support component. The allocation of functions from airside to ground varies in the degree of remote control depending on workload and flight phase. A suitable simulation infrastructure is needed to investigate different aspects in operator, team and system performance of the new concept empirically. The exemplary present simulation platform for such research undertakings is composed of several interconnected hard- and software modules. These elements are extended by several functions for remote control to accommodate the requirements for a human-in-the-loop simulation. A case study exemplifies how the simulation platform was used to consider workload and technology acceptance of these two types of crewing during different flight phases. Against this background, the application of hard- and software as well as the reliability of the respective modules is reflected critically.","PeriodicalId":129864,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE/AIAA 38th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121862048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Periodic messages can be transmitted in Network-on-Chip (NoC) across multi-hops in a time-triggered mode. To schedule time-triggered messages between tasks, a topology-based decomposition approach (TBDA) based on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver was presented, which decomposes topology structure into several regions and groups messages according to inter-regional messages and intra-regional messages. The TBDA assigns inter-regional message flows with time intervals firstly, and then generates timetable for intra-regional message flows within each region with backtracking operations on the condition that some messages are not schedulable. The TBDA reduces the solution time of pure SMT solver by decreasing the computational complexity. A tasks allocation method was addressed to reduce inter-regional messages while minimizing the communication amount of all messages. The results from programming analysis and from simulations by NIRGAM simulator show the feasibility and efficiency of TBDA along with a certain comparative case study.","PeriodicalId":129864,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE/AIAA 38th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121170281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A human-autonomy team consists of human and autonomous teammates who collaborate to achieve mission goals. In this context, autonomy is defined as increasingly capable automation system that can behave with intention, set its own goals, and is capable of responding situations with greater autonomy and even without human direction. In human-human teaming science, effective teaming is grounded in team situation awareness, team cognition, and teamwork skills. Human interaction with autonomous teammates requires a dynamic relationship of taskwork and teamwork between human and autonomous teammates. Human teammates should be able to interact efficiently, control, and exercise authority with autonomous teammates. The interaction methods may be different in human-autonomy teams compared to human-human teams. This work aims to investigate the potential differences and similarities between human-human teams and human-autonomy teams to identify interaction paradigms that enable team effectiveness and collaboration. A literature review was performed for interaction paradigms in human-human teaming, human-automation interaction, and human-robot interaction. This work discusses the interaction paradigms most suitable for adaptation from human-human teams to human-autonomy teams. The unique challenges of human-autonomy team design are articulated and used to compare to current interaction methodologies.","PeriodicalId":129864,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE/AIAA 38th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124052607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents details of an AAO-based DSS prototype demonstrating the feasibility and performance of such a cognitive DSS. The AAO-DSS prototype is built of physics-based sensing, informatics-based processing, and human-derived communications for reporting, decisions, and actions. The prototype considers a case study which highlights benefits by means of simulating realistic airspace collision avoidance situations in downscaled scenarios, aircraft takeoffs and landing with drones flying nearby, and collision-avoidance airspace situations.

Unfortunately, existing work on such complete tracing of SCF thread has been performed only by manual activities, being hard to allow for the repeatability and expandability of SCF thread analysis. To solve the problem, this paper presents a novel software tool that associates every SCF with a hierarchical tree of its safety supporting elements and traverses this tree wholly, partially, and bi-directionally. This tool allows of the thread tracing to be repeatable by systematically traversing the tree and to be expandable by transforming each abstract node as a subtree of safety supporting elements or components.","PeriodicalId":129864,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE/AIAA 38th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130338143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, new air traffic services and operational concepts have been defined and shall be supported during all phases of flight by a set of modern digital data links integrated into a single communications network named the Future Communications Infrastructure (FCI). The air-to-air (A2A) component of the FCI, the L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS) A2A mode, is currently in the initial stages of its development. Given that the LDACS A2A mode must be able to operate without any ground or satellite support, the data link must provide means for the aircraft to establish and organize an independent communications ad-hoc network, which imposes a great challenge for the design of the data link and specially for its medium-access control. In this paper, we contribute to the development of the LDACS A2A mode by assessing the performance of an A2A data link based on two different medium-access protocols; ALOHA with and without diversity, and a self-organizing time-division multiple-access (STDMA) scheme. The performance is obtained by simulating the implemented models of both the ALOHA-based and the STDMA-based A2A data link for different design parameters, requirements, and air traffic conditions. The obtained results show that the STDMA-based A2A data link performs better than the ALOHA-based A2A data link in most considered cases, given than the former requires a lower bandwidth than the latter to achieve the desired performance. Based on our analysis, we conclude that STDMA is a better candidate than ALOHA with or without diversity for the medium-access control of the LDACS A2A mode.","PeriodicalId":129864,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE/AIAA 38th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116566364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
