Abstract

This chapter raises issues and ideas for exploring resilience, stemming from various research disciplines, projected on the domain of air traffic management and aviation at interconnected system levels. Attempts are made to connect micro, meso, and macro levels in the aviation sector identifying corresponding research challenges. Examples of this ongoing research are given on how theory has already been translated into practical methodological use. Some connections between foci from Resilience Engineering, Disaster Resilience, and other research disciplines are projected on the air traffic management domain to explore how practical benefits can be obtained from these theories and which aspects of operational practice these theories connect to. The chapter shows that the concept of resilience from various research disciplines has a potentially wide application to system levels of air traffic management, and suggests resilience to be addressed from an interconnected systems perspective to provide added value to operations.

Highlights

  • This chapter seeks to explore the added value of the concept of some of the definitions that frame resilience as kinds of adaptive capacity, and addresses resilience-related aspects at interconnected micro, meso, and macro levels in Air Traffic Management (ATM)

  • The chapter draws upon several research projects on method and guideline development in ATM that focuses on resilience as adaptive capacity and performance variability management as well as resilience as related to crisis management

  • The meso level in ATM may be seen as containing several gradations in units of analysis, at least those at the controller working positions at the sector that is controlled, as well as at the level of the air traffic service units (ATSU) where put three different kinds of services are provided: tower control, terminal control, and area control

Summary

13.1 Introduction

This chapter seeks to explore the added value of the concept of some of the definitions that frame resilience as kinds of adaptive capacity, and addresses resilience-related aspects at interconnected micro, meso, and macro levels in Air Traffic Management (ATM). The DARWIN project has conducted a worldwide systematic literature review covering more than 400 articles related to resilience and critical infrastructure [2]. It aims to develop resilience management guidelines [3] and adapt these to health care and air traffic management. The systematic literature review identified resilience research on micro, meso, and macro levels as well as on resilience in response to a variety of circumstances, from uncertainty and change, to disruptions and crises, to everyday variability. Related work on agile inter- and intra-organisational response to various crises in the aviation industry [4] may be mentioned in this respect
