Objective The main objective of this work is to produce a transition strategy which enables the evolutionary development from the EATCHIP Phase III ATM systems to the future European ATM system. A good transition strategy means that the transition over time can be effected efficiently in terms of investment, required man-power and through life costs of future ATM systems.Our proposal starts with the definition of a set of principles, or transition concepts. These principles will define how transition concerns are to be handled; for example concerns about geographical area, consistency between states and standards and refulations. Dimensioning points are the constraints that impact the performance of transitions, for example, human factors and validation processes, and these will be developed alongside the transition concepts.With the transition concepts and dimensioning points in place, a further pbjective of this work is to initiate the transition process through the provision of transition actions. This objective derives from the acknowledgement that on the one hand EATCHIP Phase III issues are well know and understood, yet on the other hand the options for EATMS are many and far from being understood fully. Therefore, initiating the transition process and making it iterative provides an appropriate basis for the development of a realistic transition strategy, this being the consolidation of the transition actions, their sequencing, prioritisation and consistency across parallel system evolutions. % Fields of science social sciencessocial geographytransporttransport planningair traffic managementsocial sciencespsychologyergonomics Programme(s) FP4-TRANSPORT - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of transport, 1994-1998 Topic(s) 4.1 - ATM domain Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme STU - Study contracts, assessment contracts Coordinator CAMBRIDGE CONSULTANTS LTD EU contribution No data Address The Science Park Milton Road CB4 4DW Cambridge United Kingdom See on map Total cost No data Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC Czechia EU contribution No data Address Smetanovo nabr., 334/4 11800 Praha See on map Total cost No data EDISOFT - EMPRESA DE SERVIÇOS E DESENVOLVIMENTO DE SOFTWARE, S.A.
