The Single European Sky SESAR - Single European Sky ATM Research –to restructure European airspace –to create additional capacity; and –to increase the overall efficiency of the air traffic management system 2
Development of an Innovative LIDAR Technology for New Generation ATM Paradigms 1.Modelling paradigm 2.Model and data definition features 3.Model and data management features 4.Analytical methods and visual representations 5.User interfaces 6.Model and data interchange features 3 DB & IS 2010, Riga
Project background Radars –insufficient accuracy at low altitude Lidar (laser radar) –exact, when directly targeted 4 DB & IS 2010, Riga
Instrument approach procedure 5 DB & IS 2010, Riga
Current displays 2D screen –location –directions Altitude and velocity –as texts 6 DB & IS 2010, Riga

A Decision Support Scenario A soft control area –the collision risk between the airplanes is tracked –the altitude is controlled; A strict control area –a certain a landing procedure is assigned to the curtain track –the constraints are followed. DB & IS 2010, Riga 12
Generalized terrain 13 DB & IS 2010, Riga
Modeling the curtains Strict area Ought to Be trajectory Aircraft position 14 DB & IS 2010, Riga
Proof of concept in SKY-Scanner Abstract landscape with projection curtains
Conclusions Human operator needs are satisfied –Improving situational awareness Only Essential terain obstacles –Reducing cognitive workload Aircraft position in respect of Ought to Be trajectory Lesson learned –From “What to draw” to “What not to draw” –Avoid of redudant details 16 DB & IS 2010, Riga
