Safety Modeling and Analysis of Organizational Processes in Air Traffic

Overview

In complex and distributed organisations like the air traffic industry, safe operations are the result of interactions between many entities (agents) of various types at multiple locations.

In spite of the recognition of the importance of proper organizational processes for safe operations, formal modeling and simulation of organizational issues are lacking for prospective safety analysis of air traffic operations. The objective of this research project is to develop modeling and simulation methods for multi-agent organizational processes in air traffic to support proactive risk management.

Start date and duration

This project started in February, 2007, and finished in December, 2009.

Partners/contractors

Our partners/contractors are:
  • the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR (the Netherlands), the main contractor; and
  • the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands), a sub-contractor.
