Within the German Aerospace Center (DLR) project FAGI (Future Air Ground Integration), new operational concepts and automation support systems for fuel- and noise-efficient arrival management are being developed. An essential element of the FAGI concept is a modified airspace and route structure, featuring the late merging of different arrival routes to support user-preferred flight profiles such as Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA). The present paper studies aircraft ghosting solutions on the radar display as a potential means to support controllers with merging different streams of aircraft with sufficient precision. In addition to a technical presentation of different ghosting principles, the results of two human in the loop studies are reported. Using objective and subjective data on performance, workload, situation awareness, and eye-tracking analysis, the benefits, trade-offs and acceptance of the visual assistance functions are discussed.

During natural or manmade disasters, communication infrastructures break down due to massive destruction and subsequent loss of services. Effective rescue operations require a rapidly deployable high bandwidth network to carry out necessary relief efforts involving helicopters up in the sky and first responders on the ground. However, transmitting video and running high bandwidth applications over the network consisting of RF (Radio Frequency) links is challenging. Our aim is to develop an avionics system consisting of a fast, high bandwidth, self configurable and reliable network for rapidly establishing communication among the helicopters and first responders in a disaster area. The concept of using FSO (Free Space Optics) link as the primary and RF as the backup link has been introduced in this paper. We develop an Ad Hoc routing protocol for computing multiple “FSO only” paths to ensure faster communication among the nodes, and using “hybrid paths” consisting of a mixture of FSO and RF links as a backup. Our routing protocol, referred to as Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Hybrid (AODVH), has been compared with other Ad hoc routing protocols using ns-2 simulations. It was found that AODVH performs better than others in terms of packet loss, average delay and throughput.

The main motivation of this work is the study, design and implementation of a Middleware software layer to manage the data exchange in current avionics data buses. Thus, this layer is based on an object-oriented structure using several software design patterns like Abstract Factory, Factory Method and Singleton. The most important benefit of this new software tool is that simplifies, makes faster and more robust real-time communications in present avionics data buses. In addition, this layer provides higher design flexibility in distributed communication systems obtaining more reusable and portable software interfaces. What's more, this Middleware software tool makes independent a specific avionics application from each other in the data bus. In consequence and thanks to the new implemented tool, there is no need of ad-hoc communication software, developed by the hardware manufacturer, for each avionics embedded card in the data bus.

In earlier work, the safety benefit that results from the availability of the taxi route in an on-board airport electronic map system such as an electronic flight bag has been demonstrated. This benefit can be attributed to the explicit depiction of the route and the conformance monitor that serves as an additional safety net by providing alerts to the pilot in case of deviations from the route or a clearance violation. In this paper, it is illustrated that even without the availability of a route, there is a potential for an increase in safety beyond that which is already obtained from the depiction of an ownship-referenced map. The basis for the concept is that, even without an explicitly defined taxi route, it is still possible to detect certain types of navigation errors. The concept utilizes the current position and heading of the aircraft, a topologic description of the airport and a set of rules that define attributes to the topology. This paper discusses the concept, design and implementation. Based on available incident data, it was determined that for a majority of the incidents that were caused by a navigation error, the pilots would have been timely provided with an additional cue on the map that emphasizes the taxiways and/or runway that should not be entered from the current taxiway.

This work presents a solution to prevent and reduce the severity of runway incursions. This solution, called the Controller Clearance Broadcast System (CCBS), addresses the root causes of many runway incursions as well as mitigating the impact of those that do occur. Specifically, the CCBS design incorporates controller intent, by serving as an intermediary system to capture controller clearances, vet them for appropriateness, and then broadcast them via both analog radio channels and digitally via ADS-B. CCBS is anticipated to benefit the air transportation system by: 1) increasing operational efficiency; 2) decreasing the numbers of pilot deviation and operational errors; 3) decreasing radio channel congestion; and 4) increasing the ability to ‘remote tower’ smaller airports. The CCBS includes visual displays for tower controllers and pilots, an expert system to improve operational efficiency, a critiquing system to prevent erroneous clearances, and an alerting system to provide warnings to both pilots and controllers about clearance deviations. The system is highly flexible, and accommodates various levels of aircraft and airport equipage, to allow a gradual transition from analog to digital based clearances. A software prototype of the CCBS has been created and shown the feasibility of the basic clearance capture functionality. Further research into the creation of a fully functional CCBS prototype is warranted as it will address a number of areas of research important for use in NextGen.

4D-trajectory-based operations are proposed by SESAR and NextGen as fundamental cornerstones of Air Traffic Management (ATM) system improvements of the future. An airborne Required Time of Arrival (RTA) function is seen as an initial enabler to allow better and more accurate planning of aircraft arriving, for example, at airspace sector boundaries or at the entry of a Terminal Area (TMA). Today, not all aircraft are equipped with RTA. In addition, aircraft have varying FMS trajectory prediction performances, varying levels of flight guidance functions (for example VNAV) and some aircraft do not have auto-thrust. All these factors may have an impact on the ability of an aircraft to fly a trajectory with a time constraint. To assess the feasibility of implementing arrival time control in an existing aircraft without excessive hardware modifications, an experimental FMS with RTA capability was developed and coupled to an existing Airbus A330 flight simulator at the scientific research facility of the Berlin Institute of Technology. A series of flight simulations was performed, using the RTA function in combination with different vertical profiles and different levels of flight guidance and automation. Some flights were flown using manual pitch control and without auto-thrust. Nearly all flights achieved an arrival time error of less than 10 seconds. Minimum flight guidance requirements were identified as an indication of the required calibrated airspeed (CAS) in the primary field of view of the pilot and an indication of the deviation from the reference vertical profile (VDEV). Finally a new RTA algorithm was designed to reduce the magnitude of the speed variations and was tested by means of fast-time simulation.

Based on measurements at Munich airport and the observation of the spreading function, this paper analyzes different types of scatterers which occur in the spreading function and their temporal behavior. The scatterer analysis reveals the non-stationary character of the airport surface channel and is useful for stochastic modeling. The proposed geometry-based, stochastic channel modeling approach may be realized by either randomly placing reflecting objects based on the scatterer analysis or utilizing an appointed airport environment. The proposed channel model yields a spreading function characteristic for the apron area.

This paper discusses the need for a Performance Framework (PF) with a methodology to support the assessment of a European-wide concept in ATM. The article describes the work undertaken in Episode 3 (a European Commission Sixth Framework Programme research project) to develop a Performance Framework based on deliverables from the SESAR Definition Phase and associated Influence Models (IM) used to express the links between required performance and proposed improvements, including results from validation exercises. The Performance Framework includes the SESAR target performance, while the Influence Models are an extension of work started in SESAR to trace the relationship between Target Performance and the SESAR proposed concept. This article also covers the approach, illustrative assessments using the Performance Framework and Influence Models, and early lessons learned with an outline of future tasks.

Accidents during ground operations at airports result in substantial losses to the air transportation industry. Automated monitoring of airport ground operations can lead to cost effective strategies to reduce such accidents, either through pro-active warning systems or through feedback for improved training. This paper reviews ongoing work by the authors on automated surveillance in heavily mechanized industries with a focus on the application of the algorithms to airport monitoring. In particular, the focus is automated surveillance of airport ground operations in non-movement areas.

Approximately 69 percent of all US passenger enplanements occur at 30 (hub) airports, which are located in major metropolitan centers. Projections and forecasts show that most of the hub airports will need to undergo significant redevelopment in order to accommodate the predicted traffic volumes. Even though closely spaced parallel approaches increase the throughput capacity, an optimal taxiway layout is necessary to minimize gate-runway time and reduce incursions. This paper presents an airport layout which aims to minimize ground incursions. The airport configuration has been modeled and various scenarios have been tested using different traffic scenarios. The results show an increased level of safety with just a 30% increase in taxi times.
