Periodic Reporting for period 2 - PJ16 CWP HMI (Controller Working Position / Human Machine Interface - CWP/HMI)

Teaser

Summary

Within the PJ16 proposal, there are two innovative solutions:

The Solution PJ.16-03 Workstation, Service Interface Definition & Virtual Centre Concept develops a concept for separating the Controller Working Position (CWP) from the datacentre where the data is produced. This lean and efficient use of ANSP infrastructure tackles the issues presented by fragmented European ATM systems and country-specific architectures, enabling Europe to move to an interoperable, cost effective and flexible service provision infrastructure. Decoupling of the CWPs should enable a more efficient use of the most valuable and expensive resource, the human. By enabling increased flexibility the ANSPs should better manage staffing for prevailing traffic conditions and assure service continuity.

The Solution PJ.16-04: PJ.16-04 solution Workstation, Controller Productivity deals with new methods of controller interaction with the Human Machine Interface (HMI), applying mature technologies from other domains to ATM. This will increase controller productivity, reduce workload, stress level and enable the use of SESAR advanced tools, safely facilitating performance based operations.
Furthermore, the use of modern thin client technology and the processes for developing HMI solutions are investigated, aiming at more efficient CWP development and operation.

PJ16 has expertise from most of the ANSPs in Europe, the major European industrial partners, the leaders of research domains in the previous ATM R&D phase and has an expanded knowledge pool including new participants from Eastern Europe.

Work performed

The Solution PJ.16-03 Workstation, Service Interface Definition & Virtual Centre Concept has already delivered to the SJU some concrete results as an agreed definition of the concept, a target architecture recognised by the ATM community, a definition of some services, a list of risks. All these inputs have been combined and delivered to the SJU for the TRL2 Gate. This TRL2 gate has been passed successfully in July 2018.
2018 year is also the TRL4 period where the TS/IRS reached a certain maturity and in parallel, all the planned exercises have been conducted. The TRL4 Gate is expected in April 19 and TRL6 period will be also conducted by the end of the project.

PJ.16-04 passed the TRL2 gate on October 24, 2018. In preparation to this, the TRL2 FRD, the TRL2 TVALR, and the TRL4 TVALP of each of the five activities has been finalized in 2018. Furthermore, all activities started their implementation phase. Many of the prototypes have already been finalized (see Availability Notes). Roughly half of the exercises have already been conducted. The TRL4 gate is expected to be passed on October 29, 2019.

Final results

PJ.16 project aims to reduce development and operating costs of Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP). These savings will ultimately benefit airlines and their customers. It achieves this by delivering the ATM Master Plan goals (defined by the European Air Traffic Management (ATM) community) for a more efficient deployment of human resources, a progressive increase in automation support, the implementation of virtualisation technologies and the use of interoperable systems whilst increasing the safety level .
