The SAFMOD (Safety Modelling) project aims to develop techniques and tools to support the safety assessment methodology.

Initially a Survey of Safety Methods was developed (report being finalised), that identified nineteen areas for further safety assessment methodology support. SAFMOD has started to supply this support with the area of Human Error Identfication (2 detailed notes have been produced, available on the Bretigny intranet site [or from Barry Kirwan], which will be incorporated into the Eurocontrol SAM (these tools [TRACER & HAZOP] relate to Hazard Identification and can be useful for FHA or PSSA stages of the SAM). The notes include examples of application to three Eurocontrol projects (CORA; Time-based separation; and Co-Space). The TRACER tool is now being applied to the MFF project, and is likely to be used in further assessments. HAZOP has been used for determining safety assurance needs for live trials such as the MTCD live trial for Rome in 2003. SAFMOD is being superseded in 2004 by Future Safety Assurance, which will continue method development to support the SAM and safety assessment and assurance generally. The next methods to be developed are Cross-Boundary HAZOP and Operational Readiness Testing, along with Human Reliability Quantification.

The Future Safety Assurance work area contains three main themes, the first being concerned with developing tools to ensure we can properly assess safety of future ATM systems. This theme has led to projects on a Safety Method Survey, the application of the proposed Eurocontrol Target Level of Safety, and development of tools for Human Error Identification. It will continue next year with further work on method development. The second theme is concerned with understanding how various safety assessments of new ATM tools and concepts will add together, to yield an Integrated Risk Picture. In fact two risk pictures are needed, one for now, and one for 2015, by which time capacity and safety should have doubled. This then enables a Safety Roadmap to be developed, determining how each new ATM system element can add sufficient safety to realise the required safety levels for 2015. The third theme concerns the future Safety Culture of ATM. There will be large changes occurring for ATM, such as delegation of some tasks to the cockpit, and new concepts such as Single Sky, and it needs to be assured that these changes will not adversely affect the positive safety culture of ATM.
