Faced with the urgent need to facilitate the next generation of ATM systems and to alleviate the insufficient interoperability of its components, standardisation and validation activities have to be promoted. The AVENUE project brings to the public domain a set of interfaces and an ATC data dictionary defined by consensus of all stakeholders. The project goes on to prove the correctness of an architecture for open validation platforms with a first instance based at the EEC which was built with existing ATC components provided by European ATC players. This will constitute a solid basis for validation activities in the European Commission 5th Framework Programme and in other R&D programmes. The collaboration between European partners to produce a common, flexible, configurable platform will enable essential validation activities to be readily set up and the results from different validation exercises to be directly compared. This will greatly reduce the time required to gain acceptance for a new tool on a European rather an an individual civil aviation authority basis.

The provision of a system architecture for a simulation platform capable of supporting the large-scale demonstration and validation initiatives of the European Commission, Eurocontrol and the ATM industry and service providers.

The approach adopted involves the definition of a system architecture made up of a set of interfaces and standards for component integration.
