B.Rekencentra N.V. ACARS Ground Solution by
Objective • Present new ACARS ground solution • Describe system components • Demonstrate Ar-Com strengths
Customer Needs • Ease of use • Configurable • Modern open architecture • Adapt to changing needs • In house maintenance • Secure use
System components • Administration program (Client server module) • Configuration data dictionary • Configuration aircraft • Configuration messages and their interpretation • Configuration of custom routing • Configuration of uplink messages
System components • ANL (Background processing) • Separate modules per network • Receives messages from network • Transmits messages to network • Following network gateways are in place • SITA via SITATEX • SITA via MQ series • Email • MQ series • Wingspeedcorp via email • Wingspeedcorp via MQ series • Airinc: in development
System components • APS (Background processing) • Message recognition • Message interpretation • Perform custom routingFor example: • Receive OOOI, transform to MVA, forward to Operations control system • Receive loadsheet from W&B, uplink to aircraft • Receive engine report, transform and transmit to engine performance system • Receive message from aircraft and transmit to other aircraft
System components • Ar-Com Online (browser enabled) • Show inbound message details • Alert users about critical messages • Uplink to aircraft • FSD : Flight Situation Display (browser enabled) • Show flight on a geographical map • Show fuel & flight level status • Show downlink messages • Transmit uplink messages
Ease of use • Web browser interface • On line help available (in development) • User interface configurable • Windows based administration tool • No installation on clients • Single server solution possible
Open architecture • Data stored in ODBC supported relational database (e.g.Oracle) • 3rd party processing possibility (Plug-in) via routing • Component based
In house maintenance • Relational database • Modify recognition and interpretation of existing messages • Self-support for new messages • Define /Change uplinks Fully configurable through ADM2000
ADM2000 • Windows based Administration tool • Easy configuration of Ar-Com • User groups / security • Aircraft • Messages • Interpretation • Uplinks • Routing • Network links • …
Secure access Group based security providing • Controlled aircraft access • Controlled uplink possibility • Controlled user access • Controlled message type access
Sample Physical model Single Server running • Internet Information Server • Oracle database version 10 • APS • ANL Incoming - ANLDirIn • ANL Outgoing - SitaFileOut (ANLs use Sitatex file gateway)
Benefits • Self-support • Easy maintenance • Extensible • Secure storage of data
Some Users • TUI Airline Group : 200 Aircraft • Tuifly • Thomson • Jetairfly • Arkefly • Neosair • Jet4you • DHL aviation: 50 aircraft • TNT airways: 40 aircraft
