Human-in-the-loop to assess 4D trajectory management with Contract-of-Objectives

All 2010 conference papers and presentations
 

Abstract

 
The Contract-based Air Transportation System (CATS) project introduces a new way of managing trajectories, using mutually agreed objectives, called Contract of Objectives (CoO). The CoO is a formal and collaborative commitment of ATM actors (i.e. airspace users, air navigation services providers (ANSP), airports), to the conduction of each flight. It establishes a sequence of spatial and temporal windows which constituted milestones to be met during the flight execution, reconciling then planning and execution of flights. These 4D intervals are called the Target Windows (TWs) and are the fundamental elements to organize the future ATM. CATS proposes, through applying the CoO, one of the possible implementations of the SESAR business trajectory.

The present paper provides an overview of the validation foreseen and presents the results of the second experiment on the evaluation of the CoO concept between ATCOs and aircrew, carried out end of 2009, in SkyGuide premises, through a Human-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation. The assessment, following E-OCVM, focuses on system performances, safety, and human acceptability.
