SAF-ASAS • It is a paper, and it’s in draft • Drafting group is the AP1 team reporting to the FAA/EUROCONTROL R&D Committee • This talk will cover • purpose of SAF-ASAS • progress that has been made • the contents of the paper (8 slides) • who to complain to • Completed version should be available in November ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Purpose • To provide guidance on • how to develop safe applications • how to demonstrate that applications are safe • Discusses the problems for each category • does not discuss specific applications • does not try to show that ASAS is safe • Provides a review of the available methods • Discusses the use of the methods for ASAS applications • Discusses what it means for an ASAS application to be safe ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Progress • Jan 2002 • work started • Dec 2002 • draft version (D1) distributed for comment • chapter 4 (‘Guidelines for safe ASAS applications’) not present • comments have been received and accommodated • Aug 2003 • second draft (D2) distributed for comment • chapter 4 complete - no chapter 5 (‘Conclusions’) • comments have been received, are being considered • Nov 2003 • document complete • Feb 2004 • Presentation to FAA/EUROCONTROL R&D Committee ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Contents • Chapter 2 • the provision of safety • safety issues in ASAS applications (by category) • Chapter 3 • safety standards • design and assessment methodologies • Chapter 4 • development of safe ASAS applications • safety assessment of ASAS applications ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
The provision of safety • Same requirements for ASAS applications as any other ATM operation • ASAS assists the provision of separation • by controllers or by flight crew • ASAS applications have to meet the TLS for separation provision • proof of safety by comparison has to be justified • TLS for separation provision ~ 108 collisions/flight hour? • ASAS has to support safe applications • Equipment certification requirement - 109 collisions/flight hour ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Safety issues in ASAS applications • Gives all the specific issues we thought of • General considerations • in addition to those listed below • human performance • ACAS • For each category • the role of ASAS in separation provision • safety issues related to roles and procedures • safety issues related to systems • safety issues related to implementation ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Safety standards • Review of existing standards that apply to ASAS • SAE ARP 926A, 4754, 4761; FAR & JAR AMJ 25-1309 these are for systems • DO-264/ED78A • end to end • Air Traffic Services supported by communications • FAA NAS Modernization Safety Management Program • EUROCONTROL Safety Regulatory Requirements • ESARR 4 & EATMP ANS Safety Assessment Methodology • OSA methodology central to most work on ASAS • needs expansion to comply with ESARR 4 ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Assessment methodologies • Design and human factors analysis • analytical • empirical • Risk analysis • hazard analysis • human error assessment • ICAO - collision risk assessment and separation • comparison with TLS • comparison with a reference system • Use made to date for ASAS applications ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Development of safe ASAS applications • Recommends iterative development • concept • early specification • full specification • pre-deployment • operations • Favour hybrid/spiral model for development process • iterative loops through objectives, evaluation of alternatives, development, validation and assessment • Guidelines on addressing safety and human performance during development ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
Safety assessment of ASAS applications • Everything affects safety • the operational procedures • the decision support tools • the controllers and pilots • the communications • Guidelines offered on • operational safety analysis • technical safety analysis • spacing values and separation minima • Guidelines on each of the application categories ASAS Thematic NetworkSecond Workshop
