eDEP : What is it?

EEC (ERIS) ATM prototyping platform broad, representative, but simplified ATM functionality

(AIR, FDPS, CWP) Experimentation support (prep-IPAS, analysis-STORIA, replay) light-weight (200k lines of code versus 2+ million in ACE) small reactive team Flexible & modular Stable & mature (started in 2000) High quality (well documented, regression testing suite)

Technically 100% Java PC based (or Linux & Unix if need be) Modern technology & modern development tools

targeted at research, advanced concept projects small experiments (HF Lab) low cost demonstrators, training

eDEP : SPD overview eDEP & projects Questions


19/04/23

TWR Functionality

Airport Model Derived from TAAM data LFPG (Paris CGG) used as example Map data (building, taxiway, runway outlines) Logical data

Aprons, gates Taxiways & Taxiway segments

(“LoA” : directions, restrictions, speed limits, junctions) Runways (hold points, protected areas)

Airport “sectors” (i.e. frequencies) Runway controller Taxiway controller Apron controller


19/04/23

LFPG Map (Controller Roles/Sectors)


19/04/23

TWR Functionality

Aircraft simulation Push-back Taxiing (& intelligent pilot behaviour)

Calculate Shortest legal route to RWY Queuing behaviour (no overtaking) pilots maintain separation (not the controller) “Priority to the right”

Take-off Hold at runway perimeter Line-up Accelerate & Take-off

Landing Normal or fast runway exits

Vehicle simulation


19/04/23

TWR Functionality

TWR FPDS FM/TP :

GRD trajectory calculation – shortest legal route GRD Order processing (change RWY, GATE, SID, Taxiway)

Co-ordination between TWR positions Flight Path Monitoring SNET : Runway Incursion Monitoring (RIMCAS)

TWR RDPS TWR CWP

DSI Look & Feel Arrival / Departure traffic lists Trajectory editor / elastic vector

TWR Unmanned CWP Automated responses

TWR standalone or TWR+ATC (APP/ACC)

Others

Data import IPAS, TAAM, CFMU

ESCAPE Integration Transparently replace eDEP components with ESCAPE

equivalent (FM/TP, TDM, RDPS) Data recording for analysis

On-line data recording Fed into STORIA (EEC analysis / visualisation tool)

Data recording for replay Replay CWP positions Synchronised with recorded AudioLAN R/T

Traffic editor Tool Scripting Engine (inject R/T, controller orders, pilot orders)

SSP Sector Package 1 Demonstrator

SSP Demonstrator for “Sector Package 1” Could become C-ATM prototype demonstrator

Integrating existing eDEP functionality, with ECHOES (G2G) compliance, into a coherent concept demonstrator MTCD, MONA (using ADS-B data), SYSCO, STCA DTL, ADS-B, TIS-B, ASAS 2D TED

SPD relies 90-95% on eDEP core software, with only 5-10% ECHOES “specific”

Therefore, this core software is re-used by EHQ for FASTI Demonstrator
