A.SVS - Airport Synthetic Vision System at Innovative Airports (iPort)
The innovative airport project addresses two core objectives: Increasing airport traffic performance by optimising air traffic management (air-to-air + gate-to-gate) and improving traffic flow in terms of reduced delays, direct and delay-free flight and taxiing routes as well as a reduction in emissions per individual flight. Within the framework of subproject 3 "Taxi guidance", a paradigm shift in air traffic control procedures is postulated due to the forecasted European and national growth in air traffic demand. The dependence of information acquisition primarily based on the ouf-of-the-window view, the relatively low degree of automation and the potential for networking partners in air traffic motivate the prototype development of the new HMI controller: the A.SVS - Airport Synthetic Vision System. The development of the A.SVS is one of the most important prerequisites for the desired independence from siting and visibility of air traffic control and for further automation steps to relieve the workload of air traffic control personnel. TU Dresden supports TP 3 by carrying out process analyses primarily for air traffic controllers, subordinated to pilots for deriving requirements resulting from an A.SVS application. Hazard analyses are carried out to assess the safety of the new operating environment. The airborne-ground simulation environment of the Char will be adapted to allow realistic "What-If" studies to be carried out with the operational experts within the framework of the hazard analyses.
