ATM simulations
Develop – optimise – analyse and train Thanks to many years of experience in the validation of research and development projects and the resulting broad-based interdisciplinary expertise, the advice and support of operational and business units at DFS as well as external customers has become a focal point. This structural anchoring ensures that the latest results from research flow into the simulation-aided testing of innovative air traffic control systems, airspace structures and operational procedures and their optimisation. This makes a significant contribution to the increase in efficiency in air traffic management (ATM). Simulations can be used in many different ways. They can be used in the evaluation of new airspaces, airports, systems and procedures as well as the training of air traffic controllers and intensive study of research issues. Based in the issue being researched, fast-time and real-time simulations are used, bringing with them their own particular strengths. Real-time simulations How can air traffic controllers work effectively and safely under changed conditions (e.g. airspace, procedures)? In a real-time simulation, air traffic controllers work in an artificially generated work environment, similar to a pilot in a flight simulator. Due to the experimental framework conditions, the complete human-machine interface can be optimally controlled and investigated down to the very last detail. Real-time simulations integrate people into the testing of new concepts, procedures and systems. The state-of-the-art real-time simulators for en-route, approach and aerodrome control are an excellent tool for training ANS personnel and for performing research and development activities. Fast-time simulations How can airspaces, airport capacities and airline hubs be organised and used in the best possible way? Rather than an accurate representation of the work of an air traffic controller, fast-time simulations are based on models of the work of air traffic controllers. Their key benefit lies in the comparatively low amount of time, cost and energy required as regards technical infrastructure and personnel to provide a variety of different configurations for investigation. Fast-time simulations allow reliable evaluations of new solutions and optimisations of existing solutions within a short space of time and in an economic manner. The results generated by means of simulations allow a comprehensive analysis of productivity indicators (sector movements, time in sector, sector load etc.), workload, traffic density, capacity, number of conflicts, delays, usability of air traffic control systems and the human-machine interface.
