Operation principles for Air Traffic Control Automated Systems (ATCAS) are considered, new scientific directions in design and application of dispatching training simulators are laid out, and parameters of ATCAS radio equipment items for aircraft positioning are evaluated.
In the book designated for students, postgraduates and specialists in air traffic control and navigation, at a high professional and scientific level (while in understandable terms) such issues are reviewed as airspace management planning, flight information service and alarm reporting. The following topics are also covered: coordination and sequential flight control transfer between different air traffic service units and dispatching sectors; personnel actions in emergency, including such unforeseen circumstances as communication failure, airplane wandering off course, unrecognized aircraft appearance in the air traffic service zone, aerial target interception, fuel draining, airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) alarm, emergency stacking and volcanic ash cloud straight ahead.
General information on ATCAS of new generation that are to be developed according to ICAO and EUROCONTROL standards is provided in the corresponding chapter with specifying their distinction from ATCAS of previous generations. Authors underline that new ATCAS functions: TP (Trajectory Prediction), MTCD (Medium-Term Conflict Detection), MONA (Monitoring Aids – consistency and reminder control), SYSCO (System Supported Coordination – aircraft motion coordination) changed the conception of air traffic management dramatically, providing significant enhance of ATM dispatcher’s throughput functionality and air traffic safety. According to EUROCONTROL estimations, usage of the above mentioned functions (TP, MTCD, MONA and SYSCO) increases the acceptance rate by 15% for upper air space sectors and by 10% for lower air space sectors, doubling total air traffic safety. The tools for arrival flow management - AMAN (Arrival Manager) and departure flow management – DMAN (Departure Manager) are described as well as AMAN/DMAN integration issues. Methods of ATCAS efficiency upgrade are described together with programs and algorithms that suppress conflict situations. General principles of training simulators design and functioning are considered in the study guide. The teaching methods for ATM dispatchers’ training are represented as well as modeling methods for main ATM processes.
Operation principles of all radiotechnical systems, their characteristics and usage in ATCAS are covered to the extent required for students, postgraduates and specialists. The study guide will be of service to the wide range of postgraduates whose scientific interests involve problem solution or proposal development for efficiency upgrade of radiotechnical systems and multipurpose complexes that are being designed or exploited, including the following specialties: automated systems of control and information processing; navigation and air traffic management; radio-electronic facilities, information processing and control systems engineering; radiotechnics, radiolocation and radio navigation.
Study guide consists of 12 chapters that comprise all issues of ATCAS design and exploitation. Study guide’ authors are high-qualified specialists that design and install air traffic management automated systems and training simulators for air traffic control personnel.
The study guide is intended for specialists in air traffic management and training simulators design as well as for senior students of radiotechnical universities and postgraduates of the following specialties: radiolocation, radio navigation, navigation and air traffic management, automated systems of control and information processing, radio-electronic systems, system analysis, control and information processing, radiotechnics.
