{"title":"Atm initiatives on reduced separation minima","authors":"J. Porras, M. Parra","doi":"10.1109/DASC.2007.4391884","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DASC.2007.4391884","url":null,"abstract":"Current Separation Minima (SM, i.e. minimum distances aircraft need to fly apart from each other at all times to ensure safety) were defined in the late 1940s for en-route and in the 1970s for airport operations, based on expert judgment and technology available at the time. Despite the subsequent gigantic leap in technology, only a few SM have been modified on the grounds of modern technological capabilities (e.g. RVSM). Conversely, the main challenge for the current ATM system is to manage the air traffic demand increase expected over the coming years. According to forecasts such as the STATFOR 2006 Long-term forecast, demand in Europe is expected to double by 2020. RESET (Reduced Separation Minima) is an European Commission co-financed project developed by a consortium formed by 14 companies led by Aena. Airports, Air Navigation Service Providers, Industry, Universities and Research Organizations are represented in the consortium. The RESET aim is to identify what reductions in SM could be achieved to meet the following challenging goal: \"Where feasible, reduce SM so that they contribute towards enabling a safe factor of 2 traffic growth over Europe\". RESET is aiming to get an appropriate process on the rails which systematically works on safe reduction of separation minima where this is needed to accommodate traffic increase that is addressed by SESAR in Europe and NEXTGEN in the USA. This paper will present the approach followed by the project RESET to modify current separation minima standards maintaining or even improving safety and efficiency. The project is at its initial phase and for this reason, only few results are available at the time this paper is being written. The steps presented next should be understood just as a very high level overview of the project, which does not represent the totality of the activities considered within it. Only the first steps are addressed in more depth within this paper.","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115243522","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}

King","doi":"10.1109/DASC.2007.4391826","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DASC.2007.4391826","url":null,"abstract":"This paper describes a trajectory-based arrival management concept that integrates the use of advanced flight management systems (FMS) and advanced air traffic management (ATM) automation tools. This concept, termed the 3D path concept, is a key near-term step that enables trajectory-based operations in a voice communications environment. When applied to arrival management, the ground-based automation system computes an optimal arrival schedule at the meter fixes and runways and selects trajectories that meet the schedule and ensure separation. These 4-D trajectories are cleared prior to top of descent (TOD) and provide necessary delay in the form of cruise and descent speed changes, combined with lateral path adjustments when needed. The trajectories are flown by the aircraft's FMS with accurate navigation performance and optimized vertical profiles, which is generally not feasible today due to the use of open-ended vectors. The analysis of the performance of this arrival management concept using the Boeing trajectory analysis and modeling environment (TAME) is presented in this paper. TAME uses the eurocontrol base of aircraft data (BADA) to represent aircraft performance for the fast-time simulation. The 3D path concept is applied to operations in the Houston airport area, and arrivals into Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) are modeled using TAME. The results illustrate the influence of path and speed discretization, wind, trajectory prediction and navigation performance. Additionally, results showing the overall performance of the IAH arrival flow using 4 and 6 arrival meter fixes are presented, showing the increased airport throughput that can be achieved when airspace constraints are removed.","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115448816","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}

Phebus","doi":"10.1109/DASC.2007.4391845","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DASC.2007.4391845","url":null,"abstract":"An integrated modular architecture (IMA) is a modular open standard computing platform, as described in RTCA DO-297, which provides general processing capability for civil transport aircraft. Avionic systems employing an integrated modular architecture (IMA) are currently being deployed on new aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787. This paper lays out the applicability of the IMA approach to military aircraft such as tankers, bombers, surveillance aircraft and cargo aircraft. The IMA principles can be applied to both new aircraft designs and to existing aircraft that are going through an Aircraft Extension Program (AEP). The modular design of an IMA provides a number of advantages such as cost savings, shorter development time, and higher growth potential. It is scalable to meet the processing needs of the aircraft and is more flexible to implement. An IMA system can offer significant savings in weight, space, power, and cooling required over a comparable federated system. These advantages are particularly important as the military services begin to implement civil communication navigation and surveillance for air traffic management (CNS/ATM) and network centric warfare concepts such as real-time information in the cockpit (RTIC) using military data links. The use of open standards in the architecture of the IMA allows third parties to implement both hardware and software modules in the IMA architecture. The general processing modules (GPMs) may host multiple software applications using an ARINC 653 standard application partitioning to make best use of the high speed commercial processors available. The use of standard application processor interface (API) software creates an open software architecture that allows third parties to independently provide software applications also referred to as hosted functions which run within the partitioned operating environment on the GPMs. The intra module communication architecture, (between modules in the IMA) is also based on open standards like Ethernet, Personal Computer Interface (PCI) or VERSA Module Europe (VME), which are also freely available, allowing third-party, independent development of the IMA cabinet hardware modules. The remote interface units (RIUs) allow systems with other data networking interfaces to communicate with the IMA. RIUs can interface with ARINC 429, CANBUS, analog and discrete inputs and can be configured to meet specific aircraft requirements. RIUs can be extended to support military specific technologies such as MIL STD 1553 devices which are needed to support the special radios and data link equipment used by the military. Major applications that are typically implemented in the IMA architecture are communication, navigation and surveillance for air traffic management (CNS/ATM) and network centric warfare. CNS/ATM applications suitable for hosting in an IMA platform include the flight management, communication management and terrain and traffic advisories appl","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129016624","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 requires resolving complicated network configuration management tasks. New software must be deployed, applications started and stopped to accommodate maintenance and other needs, and legacy applications upgraded or relocated to different machines. Existing network configuration management solutions, even the relatively new Java Management extensions (JMX), are limited in their ability to address the full scope of the need. They function in a conventional client-server architecture based on a manager and agent model. In this type of implementation, the server configuration defines - and restricts - the actions available to the manager. So, if a user needs new features that are not supported by the current management server configuration, the server, at a minimum, must be reconfigured. This limitation-adaptability through reconfiguration-makes these systems rigid and expensive.","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127611988","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 is an automatic dependent surveillance - broadcast (ADS-B) application that establishes self-separation corridors in high-altitude en route airspace. This concept enables traffic managers to create high-density corridors along specific airspace segments for suitably equipped aircraft for use during heavy sector congestion or limited access due to severe weather. An SSC is defined as a set of parallel routes in close proximity to one another, in which crewmembers accept responsibility for separation from other aircraft in the corridor. While in an SSC, pilots use on-board instrumentation to ensure proper spacing behind the lead aircraft. The on-board instrumentation also provides protection from deviations or blunders by aircraft on the parallel routes. This paper describes the primary SSC concept, proposed solutions, and suggested areas of research.","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124535051","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}

The fact that the cognitive processes involved in the building of shared representations are by essence complex and hidden constitutes one of the trickiest reason of this difficulty among all the others. Thus, not only is the analysis of the current processes involved difficult in a \"paper\" environment (i.e. with paper strips and radar image) but when it comes to the design of an electronic stripping environment, basing the design on the adaptation of those processes may be difficult if not counterproductive. Actually, as any evolution of the environment modifies the activity in a non-deterministic way, it is quite difficult to anticipate to what extent those processes would remain adequate in an electronic environment. Instead of that option, applying an adapted design methodology may be a way to handle this issue. The purpose of this paper is to take a current instance of the ASTER project (assistant for terminal sectors) initially dedicated to the executive controller, aiming at providing assistance for the terminal sectors, i.e. sectors dealing with traffic inbound or outbound from one or several major airports, and outline the design process. In the first part of the paper, we will briefly introduce the ASTER concept and the VertiDigi HMI product. In a second step, we will focus on the cooperation issue and describe the way the design process was build in order to tackle this issue.","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124725030","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 project is an interdisciplinary project that incorporates electrical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering as well as computer science and physics. The project hopes to teach students how to design, develop and maintain a lower earth orbiting satellite. In fact, this satellite was delivered to San Luis Obispo, California on December 5, 2006 where it passed the final integration test in order to qualify for launch. After qualification, the satellite was loaded into the poly picosatellite orbital deployer or P-POD, which is the deployment system for the satellite. The P-POD holds three CubeSats. Once all three satellites were integrated, it was delivered to Kazakhstan and loaded into the DNEPR Russian Rocket on March 17, 2007. After a few delays, the rocket was launched on April 17, 2007. The team is currently monitoring and decoding the CW beacons transmitted by the satellite. The project was broken down into several subsystems including mechanical, communications, control and data handling, and power. Each of the systems proved to have their own unique challenges. Being that the majority of the team was electrical engineering students; the mechanical subsystem presented the most difficulty. There is currently a design in progress for the next satellite project, CAPE II. This new satellite will try to achieve a new benchmark by incorporating more advanced technologies than CAPE I and include other campus entities such as The Wetlands Research Center. The team hopes to deploy buoys into the Gulf of Mexico that will communicate to the CAPE II satellite in space and then send data to the ground station at the University. This data will include subjects such as coastal erosion, water temperatures and drift currents throughout the Gulf. With this data we can give other organizations the information obtained for their use as well.","PeriodicalId":242641,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/AIAA 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121111605","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}
