  1. New Technologies and Airport Management Presented by Cesare Bernabei Università di Piacenza & Politecnico di Milano 22-23 January 2004 Brussels December 5,2002

  2. The Air Transport System Is growing steadily since the last ten years and it is expected to do so Despite the 9/11 event for the next twenty years Brussels December 5,2002

  3. 1997 2000 7.0 Mio Flights 8.0 Mio Flights 2010 2020 11.9 Mio Flights 15.8 Mio Flights DIVISION DED 4 - 4/11/97 Traffic Density Brussels December 5,2002

  4. The Single Sky Initiative • Through its Regulations on • Organisation and Use of the Airspace • Provision of Air Navigation Services • Interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network • will provide the new frame for the European Airspace Brussels December 5,2002

  5. Although airports are not directly part of the Single European Sky initiative…. Brussels December 5,2002

  6. So…. What can Technology do in order to reduce the risk that airports become the bottleneck of the civil aviation system? Brussels December 5,2002

  7. RESEARCH AREAS Approach and Landing Operations Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System or A-SMGCS Airports Air-side and Land-side Optimisation Brussels December 5,2002

  8. Let’s take a mid-size airport Brussels December 5,2002

  9. Prague Ruzyne Airport Brussels December 5,2002

  10. Is the flight ended when the aircraft has landed? Brussels December 5,2002

  11. Final Phases of Flight Brussels December 5,2002

  12. Control Towers Brussels December 5,2002

  13. From the Control Tower On a bright day Brussels December 5,2002

  14. From the Control Tower On a foggy day Brussels December 5,2002

  15. What the controller do in such conditions? Picks up the R/T and call the aircraft However, now the technology can assist him/her in the job Brussels December 5,2002

  16. Research & Development Activities at DG-TREN Since 1994, the Directorate for Transport has supported R&D Activities in the field of A-SMGCS or Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems Brussels December 5,2002

  17. The Ground Controller Day, night, in fog or... Brussels December 5,2002

  18. The requirements “An Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) is expected to provide adequate capacity and safety in relation to the specific weather conditions, traffic density and aerodrome layout by use of modern technologies and a high level of integration between the various functionality.”1 1: ICAO - Draft MANUAL OF A-SMGCS, 2001 Brussels December 5,2002

  19. The A-SMGCS Environment Aircraft Vehicles Obstacles Ground Controller A-SMGCS Routing/ Planning Surveillance Control Guidance External Systems ATC Systems Airport Systems Airline Systems Brussels December 5,2002

  20. Demonstrator’s Functional Architecture Traffic Objects Pilot Flight plans Pilot HMI ARAMIS DAFUSA DA VINCI AIRPORT-G Other planning Sensors Guidance means DAFUSA Planning/routing Surveillance AIRPORT-G MANTEA MANTEA Monitoring/Control Guidance MANTEA ATHOS Controller HMI Controller Brussels December 5,2002

  21. Surveillance An adequate set of Sensors provides the controller with a complete knowledge of all movements including identification of any object Brussels December 5,2002

  22. Controller Working Position Surveillance Display Brussels December 5,2002

  23. Control • Provides the controller with an alert in case of events like • crossing runways • restricted areas incursion • separation criteria infringement Brussels December 5,2002

  24. Control Runway Incursion Alert Brussels December 5,2002

  25. Guidance • On-board guidance tested through: • Guidance aid response time • clearance from CWP displayed at the onboard HMI • taxi route given by CWP displayed at the onboard HMI • External guidance tested through: • External panels Brussels December 5,2002

  26. On-board Guidance External Guidance Brussels December 5,2002

  27. Planning • Electronic Flight Strips • Routing • Co-ordination Arrival / Ground Movement / Departure Brussels December 5,2002

  28. The A-SMGCS Concept has been proven and tested within the • DEFAMM project in the 4th FP • BETA project in the 5th FP Brussels December 5,2002

  29. DEFAMM Project • Demonstrated the validity of the A-SMGCS Concept testing various equipment at the airports of • Köln/ Bonn • Orly Paris • Braunschweig • Bergamo Brussels December 5,2002

  30. BETA Project • in the 5th Framework Programme • Tested three configurations at the airports of • Prague • Hamburg • Braunschweig Brussels December 5,2002

  31. The BETA system at Prague Brussels December 5,2002

  32. Results from the Research Activities The implementation of these systems on real airports has permitted to assess Objective data: Surveillance parameters (e.g. position accuracy, report update, report latency, probability of false detection, coverage area) System functionality (e.g. warnings, hand-over procedures, electronic flight strips) Use of the system (e.g. warnings, hand-over procedures, electronic flight strips) Workload of controller Subjective data: Brussels December 5,2002

  33. Surveillance Results at Prague Airport Brussels December 5,2002

  34. In Conclusion How all this can support Policy? What has been done? and What can be done? Brussels December 5,2002

  35. Research support to Policy These results have already been used to fill the ICAO A-SMGCS European Manual It provides a common baseline for Airport Authorities as well as producers for the procurement of appropriate system for any airport Through this yardstick, it is possible to compare the actual capacity at an airport as well as to assess the implemented level of safety Brussels December 5,2002

  36. Further more... Assessment of actual capacity, makes it possible to evaluate future expansions and their impact on the environment Precise allocation of responsibilities, permit to assess causes of an accident or of delays Realistic slot allocation can be implemented Ultimately a better Quality of Service can be offered to passengers Brussels December 5,2002

  37. The ICAO A-SMGCS Manual • has been circulated to States • the 11th ICAO Air Navigation Conference, held in Montreal, has recommended its use Brussels December 5,2002

  38. Any Question ? Brussels December 5,2002
