국내 성능기반항공통신 및 감시(PBCS) 도입 방안

미래항공항행시스템 (FANS; future air navigation system) 위원회는 전통 시스템의 한계를 극복하고 세계적으로 항공교통관리 발전을 가능하게 할 새로운 시스템 개발이 필요하다고 결정하였다. 급격한 항공기 교통량 증가를 수용하고 안전한 항공 운항의 효율성을 극대화하기 위해 ICAO에서 성능기반 항공통신 및 감시 (PBCS; performance based communication and surveillance) 제도를 새롭게 규정하고 적용하도록 권고하고 있다. 하지만 현재 국내의 경우 무선 데이터 링크를 사용하지만, PBCS의 도입이 정상적으로 수행되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 PBCS 개념을 살펴보고, 해외 항공선진국이 PBCS를 적용 사례를 살펴본다. 또한 국내에서 PBCS를 도입하기 위한 국내 현황과 문제점을 분석하고 향후 정책방향에 대한 방안을 소개한다. Future air navigation system (FANS) Committee overcomes the limitations of traditional systems, the development of worldwide new system that allows the development of air traffic management have been determined to be necessary. In order to accommodate the rapid increase in aircraft traffic and maximize the safe air navigation efficiency, ICAO is recommending a new performance-based communications and surveillance (PBCS) system. However, although utilizing wireless data link in the case of korea currently, the introduction of the PBCS is not performed normally. In this paper, we review the concept of PBCS, and aviation developed countries look to the applied case of PBCS. It also analyzes trends and status and problems of Korea and introduce future policy directions for CNS/ATM system improvement.

4D Trajectory Modeling and Pub/Sub Mechanism Based on Interoperability Mode

With the rapid development of air traffic management, a number of new technologies will replace today control method. In the future, aircrafts can keep appropriate interval according to control intention. And controllers will command the whole situation in real-time. On the basis of the 4D trajectory design and plan of American in air traffic management, we establish 4D trajectory model by UML and XML Schema. Then the Pub/Sub mechanism is modeled and analyzed. Through analyzing the QoS data synchronization, we can regulate data exchange which under 4D trajectory interoperability effectively.

Capacity dimensioning for Air Traffic Management (ATM) services in a GEO satellite system with spot beams

The Communications Operating Concepts and Requirements (COCR) for Future Radio Systems (FRS) [EUROCONTROL/FAA, Technical report, May 2007] is a document produced jointly by Eurocontrol (the European organization for the safety of air navigation) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a roadmap document for future development of Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. Among others it provides a method to estimate the communication link capacity requirement for future ATM services. Nevertheless, the COCR document is written as a general guideline, without taking into account any technological implementation. In this work we present a methodology to estimate the capacity in terms of communication bit rate requirements for ATM services in a constellation of geostationary (GEO) satellites with spot beams. The complete approach is illustrated using concrete scenario elements and assumptions as well as numerical parameter values along the whole process. The bit rate requirement per spot beam is determined using a similar approach to the one in the COCR, with some parameters adjusted to fit in a satellite system scenario. Furthermore, the criticality of one particular service message, the A-EXEC, is verified by comparing the required bit rate when it is excluded from the computation. A condition when this criticality applies is also determined. The result of this work may thus contribute to the assessment of appropriate technologies used for ATM in the Future Communications Study (FCS) framework [EUROCONTROL/FAA, Technical report].

Capturing emerging complex interactions: Safety analysis in air traffic management

The future development of air traffic management (ATM), set by the ATM 2000+ Strategy, involves a structural revision of ATM processes, a new ATM concept and a system approach for the ATM network. This requires ATM services to go through significant structural, operational and cultural changes that will contribute towards the ATM 2000+ Strategy. Moreover, from a technology viewpoint, future ATM services will employ new systems forming the emergent ATM architecture underlying and supporting the European Commission's Single European Sky Initiative. Introducing safety relevant systems in ATM contexts requires us to understand the risk involved in order to mitigate the impact of possible failures. This paper is concerned with some limitations of safety analysis with respect to operational aspects of introducing new systems (functionalities).
