Situation
Airports are very large, complex systems due to:
Interface between different Traffic Modes (Air, Rail, Road,...)
Internal Traffic (Passenger, Luggage, Cargo, Crew,...)
Various Services (ATC, Catering, Fire Brigade, Towing cars,...)
Dependencies between Services due to:
Share of common resources (e.g. Tarmac of the Apron)
Share of common objective (Transport of Persons and Goods)

Problems
Historically grown Structures
Different commercial and governmental Stakeholders
Partly conflicting Interests between Stakeholders
Further Fragmentation in the near Future
Co-ordination from the Local Point of View of the Services
Local Decision Making without Globale Situation View
Very conventional Techniques for Co-ordination

Benefits
Optimized Use of Airport Ressources due to Integrated Operations
More Throughput through the Airport
Enhanced Robustness by Improved Management of Exceptions
More Money for the Service
Less Environmental Impact for the Society
More Comfort for the Passengers / Customers

Questions
What are the Possibilities and Limits of TAMS?
Who would benefit and how big are the Benefits?
What Technical and Operational Changes would be necessary?
What Technologies could be used?
Centralized or Distributed System Architecture?
How to Test, Demonstrate and Validate a TAMS?
How can an Airport migrate to a TAMS?
Who will operate such a TAMS?

What we are already doing
Modelling Airside and Landside Processes
Investigating new HMI Technologies
Developing first TAMS Ideas and Concepts
Preparing a Development Environment

What is still necessary
In order to speed up research further funding is necessary
A joint effort of research and users would be more efficient
European ATC Providers would directly profit from optimized Airports, so Eurocontrol should have a certain interest in TAMS
Mobility is one of the most important topics of tomorrows society, so the EU should have a certain interest in TAMS

Potential further Steps
1. Pilot Study Thourough Determination of the State of the Art Situation Analysis at 3-4 European Airports Definition of further necessary work more in detail Building Research Consortia Development of Operational and Technical Concepts
2. Feasibility Study Detailled Requirement Analysis Prototyping main parts of a Total Airport
Management System Evaluation in simulation and field test ...
