NASA-NLR long-line experiment; a first step to connected Air Traffic Management research facilitiest

A data-communication link via Internet has been established between the Crew-Vehicle Systems Research Facility (CVSRF) at the NASA Ames Research Center and the CTAS/NARSIM Simulation Facility (CNSF) at the NLR. Multiple simulated arrival flights of the Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator (ACFS) for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands...

The layered safety concept, an integrated approach to the design and validation of air traffic management enhancements

The expected growth of air traffic asks for large enhancements in continental Air Traffic Management (ATM) to increase capacity. From a technology point of view a multitude of 'solutions' are available, such as introducing air-ground datalink, providing better support to the ATCo (Air Traffic Controller), introducing 4D air traffic control,...
