Objective

In this Project, a distributed interactive Simulation Environement (SE) for the analysis and evaluation of distributed traffic control systems will be designed, set-up and tested. The SE will provide a general purpose tool kit for the simulation of a wide range of industrial applications of strategic relevance, such as air and maritime traffic control systems.

In the frame of this Project, the application area chosen as a case study is the ground traffic control in airports, that is the A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System). An A-SMGCS consists of the provision of guidance, control and regulation of all aircraft and ground vehicles in the movement area of an airdrome. Such a system has to maintain the runway capacity in all weather and traffic conditions, assuring a high level of safety thus improving (with automatic means) the present visual-voice communication situation.

The SE will be based on a network of commercial high performance workstations (HPCN) playing the roles of the different actors (traffic controllers, aircraft pilots, vehicle drivers, external world) and of the different sensors (radar, camera, GPS, eye) used in the A-SMGCS.
