Current Situation Lack of collaborative sharing Dynamic Data Flight Obstacles Terrain Flow Airspace Route Net Navigation Aerodrome Location Environment Weather Application Data
Future situation Common data sharing Common Data Bus Weather Data Aerodrome Data Navigation Data Airspace Data Route Net Data Location Data Environment Data Flight Data Flow Data Terrain Data Obstacles Data NOTAM
D-AIM Requirements Aeronautical information user requirements: Up to date and timely quality information Easy, seamless & cost efficient information access Tailored information Optimise system automation and reduce system fragmentation Optimise human information inspection during exception handling based on powerful decision support means with visualisation capabilities AIM response: Data modelling and standardisation Interoperability and data exchange standardisation Enable smart information filtering Including geospatial and time dimensions

Content Digital AIM (D-AIM) Introduction Digital AIM Project
Digital AIM Project EUROCONTROL – LFV Sweden Current LFV infrastructure fused with EUROCONTROL AIM standards Investigate new digital services in addition to current AIS output Deliver timely & filtered quality information into user contexts Proof of concept of interoperable & timely data sharing based on AIM standards System-wide including airborne applications Focus on geo-temporal increment
D-AIM Positioning Current AIS flow versus D-AIM Data Users Data Sources Flight Briefing Airports Data Outputs ATSP CNS Infra structure Pilots AIP, Amd & Supp AICs NOTAM PIB … AIS Organisation Airspace Designers Airlines ATC Commercial Database Providers Other Airspace User Digital AIM Services Others Other States
D-AIM Principles D-AIM architectural approach based on a Service Oriented Architecture Use of Open Geospatial Web Services specifications D-AIM embeds AIM standards into the current system to achieve geo-temporal information sharing AIM Standards: AIXM, AMXM, WXXM, … ISO/OGC Standards: WMS, WFS, … ICAO, EUROCAE/RTCA AIS/MET Datalink in practice
D-AIM Changes
D-AIM high level architecture ISO/OGC Interface
D-AIM geo-temporal server

D-AIM use cases overview Baseline aeronautical data via WFS/WMS TSA updating & cockpit display TSA WFS Runway/Taxiway closure & cockpit display AMDB WFS Digital NOTAM WFS overlay Geospatial weather data sharing SIGMET WFS in flight METAR WFS/WMS in flight TAF WFS/WMS on ground
D-AIM Conclusion D-AIM puts AIM into practice D-AIM builds future digital AIM services D-AIM benefits: Provides a “one-stop shop” to geo-temporal aeronautical information Geo-enable content provider output to enable downstream location based information filtering and decision making support Increase safety by making information available WHEN and WHERE needed Based on Service Oriented Architecture & ISO/OGC Based on existing global AIM data models: AIXM, AMXM, WXXM Increase situational awareness through geospatial approach Common timely & geospatial information (en-route/aerodrome)
