INTEGRA - The Process for Validation |
|
INTEGRA is a EUROCONTROL CARE (Co-operative Actions of R&D in EUROCONTROL) initiative
INTEGRA set out to answer the question: why have simulations so far failed to give the validation results we need? and to design a solution, the INTEGRA Process.
INTEGRA’s focus has been to harness real-time simulations to obtain quantitative and objective assessments of the systems’ performance which can be used to provide decision-makers with evidence that money spent developing a proposed new ATM concept or tool can be repaid in operational benefit.
INTEGRA has developed a validation process and associated metrics to measure the benefits of Advanced Controller Tools in ATM systems. Although tools have been exercised in real-time simulators over a number of years there has been a lack of quantitative data to support decisions for implementation.
The INTEGRA process links Capacity, Safety and Efficiency, measuring these parallel aspects of system performance in a single experiment. |

INTEGRA Brochure
A promotional brochure has been developed which describes the INTEGRA concept.
This was available at ATC Maastricht 2005 and can be downloaded below.

INTEGRA Dissemination at NLR
Following the completion and evaluation of these metrics using a real-time simulation at NLR in the Netherlands two demonstration days were held to show the results of the evaluation and give a practical demonstration of the deployment of the metrics and their associated methodology on a real-time simulation.
