Controller Assistance
The key activity of the department is the design of the future air- and ground traffic management on congested airports. Especially, algorithms and operations for control, planning and guidance of arriving, departing and ground traffic are developed.

Die Abteilung erforscht Methoden zur kognitiven Automatisierung bordseitiger Flugführungsprozesse im Sinne einer ganzheitlichen Unterstützung der Aircrew bei ihrer Führungsaufgabe während aller Phasen eines Fluges "gate-to-gate". Dabei werden auch Flugführungszenarien wie beispielsweise "Free-Flight" sowie Assistenzfunktionen zur Führung unbemannter Flugzeuge in kontrollierten Lufträumen betrachtet. |

The “ATM-Simulation” department (simulation for air traffic management) was established for the support of professional research and development in the Institute of Flight Guidance. The ATM-Simulation analyses and evaluates new concepts and technologies for air traffic management in real environments. For that, an integrated complex of onboard and ground simulators is used. In addition, the department sees itself as a qualified unit which carries out scientific work in the fields of simulation technologies in aviation and transport, measuring and evaluation techniques in complex systems in association with the human operators and test scenarios for air traffic control procedures.
