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 will keep on
growing

European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
In 2002 Establishment of EASA
The mission:
•high, uniform level of civil aviation safety and
environmental protection;
•free movement of goods, persons and services;
•cost efficiency in the regulatory and certification
processes;
•assisting Member States in fulfilling ICAO obligations;
•promoting world-wide Community views

The Single European 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 frame for the Airspace

The Single European Sky Initiative
While the new regulations on the airspace provide
a more efficient system, the airports will become
the real bottle-neck for aviation.

The Single European Sky Initiative
In order to increase the actual ‘runway’ capacity in
Europe, there are three options:
• enlarge, build new airports
• better use of existing ones, including regional
airport
• improve the efficiency and management at
existing airports
Politecnico di Milano
19-20 Gennaio 2006
18
The Single European Sky Initiative
While
• the first solution is very difficult to achieve due to costs and
long-term planning, (enlarge/ build new airports)
• the second is certainly being exploited wherever possible,
but with certain conditions (regional airports)
• the third one, if properly implemented, could be applied at
any airport and, comparatively will be cost-effective and
time-saving (improve efficiency & management)
•So…

What can Research do in order to
help Policy to establish effective
regulations for a
•safe,
•efficient and
•environmentally friendly
Air Traffic Management at
airports?

The results obtained from these
activities provide the basis for an
optimised flow of traffic but
requires that all the functions are well
coordinated

Research & Development Activities at
DG-TREN
Since 1994, the Directorate for Transport
together with DG-RTD and DG-INFSO
has supported R&D Activities in the field of
A-SMGCS or
Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and
Control Systems
Politecnico di Milano
19-20 Gennaio 2006
38
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

Research support to Policy
Final assessment of ICAO A-SMGCS European Manual
Common baseline for Airport Authorities on airport
systems to ensure safe and efficient operations
A yardstick, to assess actual capacity at an airport
and the level of safety
Politecnico di Milano
19-20 Gennaio 2006
57
Further more...
Assessment of actual capacity, makes it possible to
evaluate future expansions and their impact on the
environment
Allocation of responsibilities, permit to assess causes
of an accident or of delays
More realistic slot allocation can be implemented
Ultimately a better Quality of Service
can be offered to passengers

The Way forward
A sound knowledge of the mechanisms forms the
basis for a good regulation
The support by Member States is necessary to
implement common rules and operations
The recognition by ICAO gives the platform for a
worldwide implementation
So...
