The future European ATM system relies on full integration of airports as nodes into the network. In this context, the integrated surface management project (PJ.03a) aims to identify and validate operational and technological solutions aiming at enhancing airport operations.
One of the main objectives was to improve the predictability of ground operations in all weather conditions. The implementation of collaborative decision making process involving all relevant stakeholders ensured an optimisation of airport resources allocation. This feature relied on enhanced integration between aircraft and ground systems which is expected to be achieved through the full implementation of the SWIM concept.
It is also important to increase the efficiency and safety of airport operations by improving the current infrastructures and CNS systems. The availability of more accurate navigation information through the use of GNSS (augmented) systems, an automated switching of taxiway lights and (virtual) stop bars according to the AGL service, data link information exchange between controllers and pilots/vehicle and the on-board availability of advanced vision systems resulted in an increased situational awareness with an impact on safety.
PJ.03a was also focus on the integration of RPAS surface operations into airport operations to ensure, to the maximum extent possible, their compliance with the existing rules and regulations defined for an environment dominated by manned aviation.All these aspects would be assessed through ad hoc validation activities (both FTS and RTS) in different airport environments with different validation platforms to increase the significance of the results based on a broad range of representative layouts.
