Validation Infrastructure SuppOrting Remote Simulations

Project description

Interoperability standards for air traffic management

Real-time simulations (RTSs) are essential for validating complex air traffic management (ATM) concepts. Improved interoperability between simulators can enhance ATM infrastructure for future validations. The EU-funded VISORS project aims to promote interoperability standards among ATM validation platforms. The project will conduct an analysis of ATM validation processes, advanced air mobility (AAM) and U-space interoperability concepts using a multi-site architecture. For this purpose, VISORS will connect the simulation facilities of various project partners through a prototype platform to develop cutting-edge interoperability solutions. Additionally, it will carry out an experimental demonstration test to gather data for this analysis. Furthermore, it will assess the feasibility of remote execution of human performance (HP) assessment methodologies and perform an economic analysis of distributed validation.

Objective

Real-Time Simulations (RTS) are widely recognised as a means to support the validation process of systems and procedures up to the highest operational readiness levels and are therefore widely used to support V3 validation campaigns in the SESAR context. With the development of new airspace users and new Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts in recent years and those expected in the near future (e.g. U-Space, Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)), V&V processes have become increasingly complex, with increasing demands on the infrastructures for validating these concepts and operational conditions. A wider diffusion of interoperability between specialised simulators could support the need for improved ATM V&V infrastructures to demonstrate the achievement of validation objectives related to future European ATM concepts. The VISORS project aims at supporting a wide diffusion of interoperability standards among ATM validation platforms. An economic analysis of performing validation processes for ATM/AAM/U-space interoperability concepts and solutions through a multi-site validation architecture will be performed. An experimental demonstration test will be defined and performed to collect data for this analysis. The simulation facilities of different partners of the project will be connected through a prototype platform to develop state-of-the-art interoperability solutions. The security aspect related to data exchange between this platform will be assessed. Furthermore, the impact of this distribution of actors involved in validation activities on state-of-the-art HP assessment methodologies will be evaluated, also considering the possible remote execution of related measurements.
