The Air Transport System
Is growing steadily since the last ten years
and it is expected to do so
Despite the 9/11 event
for the next twenty years

The Single Sky Initiative
Through its Regulations on
Organisation and Use of the Airspace
Provision of Air Navigation Services
Interoperability of the European Air Traffic
Management Network
will provide the new frame for the
European Airspace

Although
airports are not directly
part of the Single
European Sky
initiative….

So….
What can Technology do in order
to reduce the risk that airports
become the bottleneck of the civil
aviation system?

What the controller
do in such conditions?
Picks up the R/T and
call the aircraft
However, now the
technology can assist
him/her in the job

Research & Development Activities at
DG-TREN
Since 1994, the Directorate for Transport
has supported R&D Activities in the field of
A-SMGCS or
Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and
Control Systems

The requirements
“An Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control
System (A-SMGCS) is expected to provide adequate
capacity and safety in relation to the specific weather
conditions, traffic density and aerodrome layout by use
of modern technologies and a high level of integration
between the various functionality.”1

Guidance
On-board guidance tested through:
•Guidance aid response time
•clearance from CWP displayed at the onboard HMI
•taxi route given by CWP displayed at the onboard HMI
External guidance tested through:
•External panels

The A-SMGCS Concept has been
proven and tested within the
•DEFAMM project in the 4th FP
•BETA project in the 5th FP
Brussels December 5,2002

DEFAMM Project
Demonstrated the validity of the A-SMGCS Concept
testing various equipment at the airports of
•Köln/ Bonn
•Orly Paris
•Braunschweig
•Bergamo

Results from the Research Activities
The implementation of these systems on real
airports has permitted to assess
Objective data:
Surveillance parameters (e.g. position accuracy, report
update, report latency, probability of false detection,
coverage area)
System functionality (e.g. warnings, hand-over
procedures, electronic flight strips)
Subjective data:
Use of the system (e.g. warnings, hand-over
procedures, electronic flight strips)

In Conclusion
How all this can support Policy?
What has been done? and
What can be done?
Brussels December 5,2002
34
Research support to Policy
These results have already been used to fill the ICAO ASMGCS European Manual
It provides a common baseline for Airport Authorities as
well as producers for the procurement of appropriate
system for any airport
Through this yardstick, it is possible to compare the
actual capacity at an airport as well as to assess the
implemented level of safety
Brussels December 5,2002
35
Further more...
Assessment of actual capacity, makes it possible to
evaluate future expansions and their impact on the
environment
Precise allocation of responsibilities, permit to assess
causes of an accident or of delays
Realistic slot allocation can be implemented
Ultimately a better Quality of Service
can be offered to passengers

The ICAO A-SMGCS Manual
•has been circulated to States
•the 11th ICAO Air Navigation
Conference, held in Montreal, has
recommended its use
