Simulation of new Display Concepts for Air/Space Traffic Control Systems

Kurzfassung

A long track record on research on display con-cepts is available in the domain to assist the Air Traffic Controller in his situation awareness. Most of the concepts were designed to reduce Air Traffic Management (ATM) complexity with respect to traffic density, identification and resolution of conflict situations as well as to enhance the efficiency of the air transport sys-tem. The existing concepts mostly do not take into consideration air traffic and space traffic above flight level 600. For the implementation of future display concepts, a validation process is required. We discuss the assets of the DLR Air Traffic Validation Center for life virtual constructive simulations and the methodology of the European Operation Concept Validation Methodology (E-OCVM) of Eurocontrol.
