What is it useful for? Human in-the-loop experiments to build the ATM environment piece by piece and to address detailed issues (e.g. airspace, tools, roles). The focus is on operability. Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
What is the Technique? • Real-time technique • Small-scale and/or part-task • Iterative in nature • Gradually building and refining • Examine the options, moving towards a clear goal Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Approach • Iterative process • Allows modification of a specific research question to be introduced between sessions • The overall approach needs to be structured • Reasonable and achievable objectives Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Advantages • Flexibility • Short duration • Suited to early concept assessment/maturation • Reduced cost: small scale and simplified environment, to focus on specific issues Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Limitations • Short-time scales are the major limitation • One week sessions • Time between sessions • Training time • Limits • Examinination of the concept with multiple conditions • Trends rather than performance measures • Time to perform platform changes and tests between sessions Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Prototyping objectives • Main objectives: initial assessment of operability and acceptability, refinement/maturation of a defined set of concept elements • Secondary objectives: initial trends on some KPAs (Fast Time/Modelling required to provide consolidated performance figures) Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Different Strategies En-route and TMA
EDDK/LW EDDL/LV EGLL EGSS/GW EHAM EDDF EDDL/LV EHAM Departures Arrival flows NORKU PAM TENLI GORLO TOPHU Main CTA points EHAM - NORKU at FL260 EGLL - GORLO any FL EGSS -TOPHU at FL270 EDDF – BEGOK at FL250 BEGOK En-route Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event

En-route experience Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Expert Groups • Expert Group iteratively drives content of sessions. EXPERT GROUP • Session 1Environment • Reference Business Trajectory (RBT) • Session 2RBT/Controlled Time of Arrival (CTA) • Session 3 • RBT/CTA • Tools Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
En-route Results • Airspace • Fixed route network for arrival/departure flows (segregated from overflights) • Redesign sectorisation to suit traffic flows and segregated routes • Know vertical profile as part of RBT • Tools • Sector exit lists • Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD) • Trajectory Editor (TED) • Training • Method and duration (continuity of ATCos would help) • Controllers happy that their recommendations appeared in subsequent sessions and during sessions Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Issues/Next Steps… • Additional Nominal Situations • Weather • Mixed Equipage • Dynamic Military Activity • Prefered Trajectories • Company preferences • ANSP preferences • Operational Environment • Information from cockpit to ATCO • Support tools Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
In Conclusion • Operability – user perspective go/nogo • Iterative • Cost-effective • Continuity • Short-Time as benefit and constraint • Clear target • Part of wider validation framework Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
