To significantly advance the following development actions:
- IR-4-07 Smart airports, airports as multimodal nodes and passenger experience.
- IR-4-03 Cyber-resilience and cyber-security capabilities enabling the next generation of airport platforms.
The following list of R&I needs is proposed as an illustration of the potential project content, but it is not meant as prescriptive. Proposals may include other research elements beyond the proposed research elements below if they are justified by their contribution to achieve the expected outcomes of the topic and are fully aligned with the development priorities defined in the European ATM Master Plan.
- Collaborative management at regional airports supported by Centralised Lite airport operations centre (APOC)
The Airport operations centre (APOC) concept was originally developed for large airports during previous SESAR phases, based on a platform/operational structure which collaboratively and pro-actively manages airport operations performance.
Although regional airports do not generally experience operational constraints in such scale as those occurring at large ones, they do experience issues which underperform their operations. The lack of communication and information shared amongst the stakeholders causes unforeseen deterioration of the airport performance with potential knock-on effect onto the ATM network.
The research area aims at developing a Centralised Lite APOC, aiming at the improvement of inbound, turnaround
