  • Preparing for the rapidly increment of air traffic volume of the 21st century, International Civi1 Aviation Organization(ICAO) started for studying a newly developed CNS/ATM System from the 1980s and after 2010, expect that the existing aeronautical facility is overloaded because air traffic volume increase rapidly. For this reason new CNS/ATM System will be the international standard system in the future. Especially, ADS-B(Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) as the key component of Surveillance and ATM in new CNS/ATM System provides the real-time and same air traffic information to pilots in the aircraft cockpit, air traffic controllers on the ground and surface vehicles at the same time. Information provided is displayed precisely and accurately through Multi-Function Display(MFD). We implement the MFD system being supporting for new CNS/ATM System. And we show the good performance of MFD system in labortory environment using the MIL-STD-1553B data bus.

  • There are many studies which reveal most of the accidents are related to pilot errors. Looking at each phase of flight, the accidents which occurred at the segments of take-off and landing consist of 70%, cause these phases need precise cooperations between pilots and ATC specialists to make sure every instructions understood and instruments to be normal. Therefore, the accidents of these phases leave great regrets and the price was enormous to people and equipments. Until now, most of the studies investigate the accident itself and very few show the relationships between pilots and air traffic controllers. This study analyzes the impacts of inter-dependence to mutual trust, cooperations and relationship efficiency between them who play important parts in flight. Based upon the findings, the inter-dependence has an effect on mutual trust and the latter influences to cooperations. Also, mutual trust and cooperations have a leading role in the relationship efficiency. It implies that mutual trust, cooperations, and the degree of inter-dependence are important factors to improve the relationships between them.

  • With rapid growth in the technologies and demand of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs), integration of such systems into the existing airspace system is becoming an issue in many countries. RPAS have different flight performances, communication characteristics, separation assurance mechanisms, and human machine interfaces from manned aircraft. To establish rules and regulations for RPAS integration, it is important to understand the impacts of RPASs on the airspace system. A simulation system that integrates manned aircraft, air traffic control, and RPASs is developed in Inha University to investigate these impacts through Human-in-The-Loop (HiTL) simulations. Three conflict resolution scenarios between a manned aircraft and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) were constructed and tested. Human factors such as the response times of pilots and controllers were measured and analyzed as well as the risk of each maneuver.

  • Recently, as domestic air traffic dramatically increases, the need of ATC(air traffic control) systems has grown for safe and efficient ATM(air traffic management). Especially, for smooth ATC, it is far more important that performance of display system which should show all air traffic situation in FIR(Flight Information Region) without additional latency is guaranteed. In this paper, we design a ASTERIX(All purpose STructured Eurocontrol suRveillance Information eXchange) parsing module to promote stable ATC by minimizing system loads, which is connected with reducing overheads arisen when we parse ASTERIX message. Our ASTERIX parsing module based on pattern matching creates patterns by analyzing received ASTERIX data, and handles following received ASTERIX data using pre-defined procedure through patterns. This module minimizes display errors by rapidly extracting only necessary information for display different from existing parsing module containing unnecessary parsing procedure. Therefore, this designed module is to enable controllers to operate stable ATC. The comparison with existing general bit level ASTERIX parsing module shows that ASTERIX parsing module based on pattern matching has shorter processing delay, higher throughput, and lower CPU usage.

  • The flight test of ADS-B is to demonstrate operational benefits to air traffic controllers and pilots when other aircraft data including the aiming altitude is displayed on CDTI. Additionally, This ADS-B study is to provide first operational experience of ADS-B in ATCS environment of South Korea and provide practical information to ATCS before deployment of ADS-B in South Korea is considered. Participation in the flight test has been limited to 2 Aircraft of H University which are installed ADS-B equipment and the ground station has installed in Tae-An airport. This test have been experimented according to the pre-arranged flight procedures of Tae-An airport. As a result of the test, it has shown that the number of radio transmitting and the time of radio occupied between controller and pilot are remarkably reduced. Besides, as both pilot and air traffic controller are able to see the traffic information in the vicinity of the aircraft, the test has demonstrated that it is possible for ADS-B not only to decline the controller's workload, but also to enhance pilot situational awareness in the near future.

  • The health of licence holders (flight crew members and air traffic controllers) is recognized as an important element of aviation safety. The medical emergency symptoms that occur during the flight duty period without prior notice can interfere with human performance capabilities and threaten aviation safety. To prevent this, ICAO has been required to conduct a periodic medical assessment process of licence holders including routine analysis of in-flight incapacitation events and medical findings during medical to identify areas of increased medical risk and continuous reevaluation of the medical assessment process to concentrate on identified areas of increased medical risk. The supply and demand of licence holders have become a major issue due to the increase in air traffic around the world, and the pilot retirement age has been extended to 65 years. But, there is no significant change in the aviation medical assessments process. The follow up of the result of medical examination discovered through aviation medical examination is a very important part, but it has not been properly implemented, and the sick leaves and medical inflight incapacitation reporting system should be improved. The management of health risk factors for licence holders must be implemented to prevent aircraft accidents or aviation safety problems caused by health problems. In this paper, we propose the development plan and concrete improvement plan of the health risk management system of licence holders in Korea in terms of aviation safety.

  • As a foundation of next-generation air transportation systems, automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) helps pilots and air traffic controllers create a safer and more efficient national airspace system. Owing to the open communication environment, it is easy to insert fake aircraft into the system via spoofing or the insertion of false messages. Efforts have thus been made in academic research and practice in the aviation industry to ensure the security of transmission of messages of the ADS-B system. An identity-based batch verification (IBV) scheme was recently proposed to enhance the security and efficiency of the ADS-B system, but current IBV schemes are often too resource intensive because of the application of complex hash-to-point operations or bilinear pairing operations. In this paper, we propose a lightweight IBV signature scheme for the ADS-B system that is robust against adaptive chosen message attacks in the random oracle model, and ensures the security of batch message verification and against the replaying attack. The proposed IBV scheme needs only a small and constant number of point multiplication and point addition computations instead of hash-to-point or pairing operations. Detailed performance analyses were conducted to show that the proposed IBV scheme has clear advantages over prevalent schemes in terms of computational cost and transmission overhead.
