Multigen Creator

Visual simulation is the most important manifestation of virtual reality technology. Take a civil aviation airport as an example of visual simulation, based on the real-time, interactivity and realism of visual simulation system, we discuss Creator 3.0 in building three-dimensional scene of the civilian airport, and the development of visual simulation system based on Vega Prime. The simulation results show that it provides the basis for the safe and reliable in air traffic control, reducing the working pressure of the air traffic controller, improving the operating efficiency of the air traffic, and increasing the traffic flow of air and surface.

The Impact

Abstract. Climate impact of aviation is expected to increase further. Aircraft routings are an important measure for climate impact reductions. To find an effective aircraft routing strategy for reducing the impact, the first version of the submodel AirTraf has been developed; this submodel can simulate global air traffic in the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model. This paper describes the updated submodel AirTraf 2.0. Seven new aircraft routing options are introduced, including contrail avoidance, minimum economic costs, and minimum climate impact. Example simulations of the new routing options are presented by using around 100 north-Atlantic flights of an Airbus A330 aircraft for a typical winter day. The results clearly show that the family of optimum flight trajectories (three-dimensional) varies according to the routing options. The comparison of the results for various routing options reveals characteristics of the routing with respect to air traffic performances. The minimum cost option obtains a trade-off solution between the minimum time and the minimum fuel solutions. The aircraft routings for contrail avoidance and minimum climate impact reduce the potential climate impact, which is estimated by using algorithmic Climate Change Functions, whereas these two routings increase flight operating costs. A trade-off between the aircraft operating costs and the climate impact is confirmed. The simulation results are compared with literature data and the consistency of the submodel AirTraf 2.0 is verified.

A path object is a set of instructions plus the values of associated parameters that would be used by an aircraft’s flight management system (FMS) or area navigation (RNAV) computer to construct a flight trajectory on the basis of the values of the parameters provided by the pilot or air traffic control (ATC) system. The concept of path objects and its applicability for development of FMS- or RNAV-based flight paths for aircraft routes are described. The use of path objects requires only a small number of parameters for specification of an RNAV route, and the computer then calculates the resulting flight path. Because most RNAV routes are just variations of the same basic shapes, many RNAV routes can be generated from a single path object by changing just one or two parameters. This offers the capability to reduce the size of the navigation database by a significant amount. This also allows the dynamic alteration of three-dimensional FMS-RNAV routes instead of radar vectoring, which represents a significant improvement in ATC procedures. Because of the compact expressions for the path objects, these procedures could be used in a voice communications environment as well as a data link environment. A path object can be thought of as a high-level language with which aircraft and ATC systems communicate flight path intentions. The concept of FMS- or RNAV-stored path objects is a change in thinking about the role of avionics technology. It offers a means of including the precision of the FMS-RNAV technology in the ATC system during the transition from today’s system to the future’s fully automated control system. This is an enabling technology that improves the ability to use and maintain FMS-RNAV in its role as a vital component of the ATC system. It has the potential to enhance future air traffic management-communication navigation surveillance concepts and applications.
