ATACCS '12: 2nd International Conference on Application and Theory of Automation in Command and Control Systems, London, UK, May 29-31 2012
Résumé
At present there is an increasing demand from government and industry stakeholders and from society as a whole to improve the efficiency and environmental impact of the overall transport system. Research and development efforts in the areas of automation and command and control systems are expected to open the way to new tools and technologies that, coupled with new operational procedures and new legislation, will enable a paradigm shift towards a new global transport traffic management system capable of supporting highly efficient and environmentally friendly air transport operations. As a good example, two large regions of the world are currently embarked in major Air Traffic Management (ATM) modernization initiatives, SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) in Europe and NexGen (Next Generation Air Transportation System) in the US, which are focused on exploring how increased levels of automation enabled by new technology can enable a sustainable and more efficient ATM system.
