1. Visualization of Aircraft Approach and Departure Procedures in a DSS for Controllers Kristina Lapin, Vytautas Čyras, Laura Savičienė Vilnius University

2. 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

3. 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

4. Project background Radars –insufficient accuracy at low altitude Lidar (laser radar) –exact, when directly targeted 4 DB & IS 2010, Riga

5. Instrument approach procedure 5 DB & IS 2010, Riga

6. Current displays 2D screen –location –directions Altitude and velocity –as texts 6 DB & IS 2010, Riga

7. Decision support in real time 7 DB & IS 2010, Riga

8. Related work: pure 3D See Azuma, Daily and Krozel (1996) 8 DB & IS 2010, Riga

9. Ideas from FP5 and FP6 EUROCONTROL projects Picture within a picture Distortion display 9 DB & IS 2010, Riga

11. Pure 3D in SKY-Scanner Photorealistic map with the Ought-to-Be trajectory ViolationCorrect DB & IS 2010, Riga 11

12. 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

13. Generalized terrain 13 DB & IS 2010, Riga

14. Modeling the curtains Strict area Ought to Be trajectory Aircraft position 14 DB & IS 2010, Riga

15. Proof of concept in SKY-Scanner Abstract landscape with projection curtains

16. 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
