Integrated Safety Assessment Model
Since 2006, risk analysis procedures for air traffic combining macro- and microscopic level have been developed at the chair. For this purpose, technological, procedural, and psychological risk factors were researched, resulting in the development of the Integrated Safety Assessment Model (iSBM), an agent-based air traffic simulation comprising self-organizing, evolutionary progressing software agents that reflect real-world entities like aircraft, surveillance system, air traffic controllers, etc. On the microscopinc level, it concerns procedural and human performance factors complemented by a probabilistic collision risk calculation concerning weather effects and technical performance factors for aircraft navigation on the macroscopic level. After a first, prototypical implementation based on the Java Framework AgentFly, relevant performance parameters were determined and transferred to a computationally optimized, highly parallelized model implemented in the C++ language.
The simulation tool was adapted in the course of several projects to answer various research questions from the safety assessment field.
