Besides the Air Traffic Flow and Control Management (ATFCM) benefits achieved through the implementation of STAM mechanisms, the fast pace time-variant dynamic characteristics of traffic during the execution phase cannot be counterbalanced by the rigidity (technical, staff or set-up time requirements) of low pace airspace capacity mechanisms diming the possibility to implement efficient and effective “capacity-on-demand” measures where and when they are needed. ANTICIPATE aims to extend pre-tactical and tactical ATFCM STAM with a "capacity-on-demand" efficient and effective mechanism to benefit of the networking airspace capacity by a fine tuning distribution of workload among adjacent sector ATCos at execution phase. It aims to avoid the unnecessary regulations on the traffic demand on the day of operation while mitigating present latent capacity inherent to a fragmented management of sectors through a network-minded management of time-stamp perishable mobile areas among sectors. Present proposal rely on the ATM digitalization and the Virtual Centres to enhance present STAM mechanisms with “capacity-on-demand” measures at operational level, paving the way to new airspace capacity management mechanism considering the constant increment on traffic demand through the pairwise adjacent-sector balancing mechanism to longer adjacent-sector chains.

X-TEAM D2D project aims defining, developing and initially validating a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for the seamless integration of ATM and Air Transport into an overall intermodal network, including other available transportation means (surface, water), to enable the door-to-door connectivity, in up to 4 hours, between any location in Europe, in compliance with the target assigned by the ACARE SRIA FlightPath 2050 goals. The project is focused on the consideration of ConOps for ATM integration in intermodal transport network serving Urban and Extended Urban (up to Regional) mobility, taking into account the transportation and passengers service scenarios envisaged for the next decades, according to baseline (2025), intermediate (2035) and final (2050) time horizons. The target ConOps provided and initially validated by the X-TEAM D2D project will encompass both the transportation platforms integration concepts and the innovative seamless mobility as a service including ATM concepts. The developed ConOps will be preliminarily evaluated against already existing and specifically defined applicable KPAs and KPIs, implementing both qualitative and quantitative performances assessment approach. The X-TEAM D2D project will develop a simulation-based platform for validating the proposed concept. This platform will consider the most relevant elements of the transport in the future such as interfaces mode-mode, high-level network model, passenger-centric paradigm. The X-TEAM D2D proposed ConOps, therefore, will be validated with the simulation platform and a description of the semantic values of future KPIs and a diagnosis of the inefficiencies of the ConOps will be provided. The conceptual design of the platform will be replicable by formalizing the relationships of the Key elements by using formalisms like Coloured Petri Nets or UML. The identified hot areas of the different interfaces will be formalized by the use of Colored Petri nets or similar formalism.

The overall goal of EvoATM is to build a framework to better understand and model how architectural and design choices influence the ATM system and its behaviors, and vice versa how the expected ATM overall performances drive the design choices. The EvoATM project will model a specific part of ATM system combining the agent based paradigms with evolutionary computing. Specifically it will define a solver which finds an optimal tuning of the design of new/modified ATM components to accomplish the expected performances. It will adopt sensitivity analysis strategies in order to understand the influence of ATM components parameters on the behaviours at component performances level (behaviours of other components) and at whole system performances level. It will test the framework by using known scenarios and quantitative indicators to validate its effectiveness in terms of: change impact assessment, support to design and support to strategic thinking. The project will provide methodological guidelines to extend the proposed frameowrk to any part of ATM to be modelled. The EvoATM consortium involves a multidisciplinary group of experts representing the different expertise classes: complex systems modelling, evolutionary computing, ATM modelling, human aspects, aerospace engineering, verification and validation. The chosen Advisory Board will guarantee the coordination/dialogue with the impacted stakeholders domains: ASDA (Association for the Scientific Development of ATM in Europe),ENAV (Italian air navigation service provider), EUROCONTROL, LEONARDO (Italian industry).

This proposal addresses the topic “Control of RPAS in the TMA” of the H2020 call “SESAR-ER4-28-2019”. Its objective is to provide means for a safe and efficient integration of RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) into the existing Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures and infrastructures within Terminal Manoeuvring Areas (TMA) under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The main goals of the INVIRCAT project are the creation of a concept of operations for remotely piloted aircraft systems in the terminal manoeuvring area of airports, assessing it through simulations and draft a set of recommendations for rulemakers and standardization bodies. In INVIRCAT a CONOPS will be elaborated for full accommodation of RPAS in TMA environments, including Automatic Take-Off and Landing (ATOL) procedures. These CONOPS will serve as a basis for implementing a cooperative, heterogeneous and distributed simulation infrastructure to enable a full IFR RPAS flight from one airport to another including all phases of flight. Based on the results of the simulations and the validation of the CONOPS a set of high level operational and technical requirements will be defined. To meet the objectives, the INVIRCAT consortium is formed of a balanced group representing the most innovative research arms of the ATM, ATC, UAS, UTM and UAM industries. In addition, a close collaboration with related projects on the topics “SESAR-ER4-29-2019: Remain Well Clear for IFR RPAS Integration in Class D-G Airspace” and “SESAR-ER4-30-2019: RPAS for Manned Flight Contingency Management” will be established, to feed their results into the concept of INVIRCAT. An Advisory Board will be set-up to validate the requirements and to explore the challenges presented by the co-existence of conventional manned aviation, drones and UAM aircraft in aerodrome environments.
