ADAS Project

Activity Status

This project proposal was not retained as part of the CINEA 2022 activities due to lack of participants.

Context

A key objective of SWIM deployment is to ensure the harmonized and interoperable exchange of information in Europe. In the scope of AF5.1.3, AIM data is required to be exchanged using the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM 5.1 and beyond) and this shall be applied in a uniform manner based on common rules to ensure interoperability.

The aim of the ADAS project is to further accelerate the implementation of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/116 by providing tools and services for the verification and validation of the digital data sets produced and exchanged in the frame of subfamilies AF 5.1.3 on aeronautical information exchange.

Specific objectives of the project

The objective of the project is to establish a service that facilitates the uniform provision, exchange and use of aeronautical information. The service will enable to assess the conformity of aeronautical datasets (any type of data expressed in AIXM format) providing conformity reports that describe the adherence of the datasets to specified criteria.  

Expected results

By Q3 2025:

  • Common rules for the harmonized exchange of AIXM data in the scope of AF5.1.3 implementation.
  • A common service that is available to all implementers of AF5.1.3 that assesses the conformity of AIXM (version 5.1 and beyond) data to the common rules, as well as additional rules that can be defined by the users of the service.

Project Tasks

Start/End Date 

Description 

Project Management and Coordination 

1/1/2023 31/12/2025 

A project management team supervising day-to-day project execution and will be gathering on a monthly basis. The project management team owns the project planning and monitors progress. The project management team reports to SDM on agreed milestones as per the project plan.  The project management team coordinates with the task leaders and partner POCs. 

A project plan will be developed in the first quarter of the project by the project management team. It will be used to assess progress. The project management team will organize regular meetings gathering all persons responsible for individual tasks, in order to review project progress, and monitor accomplishment of milestones. 

Develop ADAS Building Blocks [T1] 

1/1/2023 31/12/2025 

Business rules manager BRM (v.3) - re-engineer the current BRM in order to work efficiently in the ADAS context (manage profiles, eliminate old software packages that constitute security risks, enhance the SBVR assistant and align with the agreed SBVR rule structure) 

Develop and implement ADAS rule engine based on COTS products 

  • Includes the development of an SBVR rules parser that performs the conversion into the internal language of the rul engine 
  • Includes geo-spatial functionality used for detecting gaps, overlaps, verifying AMDB data quality rules, etc) 
  • Includes the  SWIM service interface
