Configuration and Planning of the Remote Tower Modules in a Remote Tower Center

چکیده
Today, many small aerodromes struggle with financial difficulties, and a large cost is air traffic control. Remote tower centers, which remotely provide air traffic services to aerodromes, can help reduce this cost. Each center may contain a number of remote tower modules, where each module is manned by a controller that can handle one or more aerodromes. In this paper we present the remote tower center concept and develop a model that optimizes the assignment of airports to the remote tower modules. Computational results for a possible scenario based on real data for Swedish airports are presented.

Which data provide the best insight ? A field trial for validating a remote tower operation concept
This paper describes the validation of a Remote Tower Control workplace. The study shows how Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) observe traffic from a Tower Control Working Position at Airport Erfurt-Weimar (ERF) in comparison to a Remote Controller Working Position. The validation exercise targets low traffic density airports. Shadow-mode trials were used to cover perceptual, operational and...
متن کاملThe Role of Workload for Work Organisation in a Remote Tower Control Center
This paper focuses on the role which workload can play for work organisation in a future remote control tower center. Nowadays you can find a control tower next to each airport. A tower is equipped with a team of controllers which maintain the declared surface movement rate under all weather conditions within the aerodrome visibility operational level (AVOL) while maintaining the required level...
متن کاملSteps Towards the Virtual Tower: Remote Airport Traffic Control Center (RAiCe)
In this paper research is described which aims at the long term goal of a Virtual Airport Tower without the need of a real tower building, however with improved functionality. Specifically we address the intermediate step of a Remote Airport Tower Center (RTC) for remote surveillance and control of small airports. Because previous work and task analyses indicated the importance of the visual in...

Launching pads are among the essential elements of missiles and their main function is to prepare missiles for launch. Tower launchers dimension and configuration depend on effective loads, dimension and weight of the missile. In the majority of tower launchers, two bars connected to each other with crossbar connectors are considered to be the basic parts. Therefore, it is essential to calculat...
متن کاملNumerical and Analytical Study of Natural Dry Cooling Tower in a Steam Power Plant
Design of a natural dry cooling tower has been accomplished in two sections: the design of heat exchangers and the numerical solution of flow through the tower. Heat exchanger (Heller type) has been simulated thermodynamically and then coupled with a computer program, which calculated the turbulent natural convection flow through the tower. The computer program developed for this purpose can be...
