System for joint operation of ATC system and iTWR system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of air traffic control, in particular to a system for joint operation of an ATC system and an iTWR system.
Background
An Air Traffic Control automation System (ATC System) is an integrated System which is used as a core System for an Air Traffic Control department to implement Air command, provides display of Air flight situation and alarm of various flight conflicts and various exceptions for an Air Traffic controller, and provides dynamic related information of a flight plan and Control means for the Air Traffic controller by processing the flight plan and dynamic telegraph.
An integrated Tower System (iTWR System) is a control and command System suitable for air control Tower departments, integrates the functions of multiple systems such as air traffic control automation, advanced scene guidance, Tower electronic progress list, digital air control, cooperative release, meteorology and light control and the like required by Tower control, and can provide a high-information and intelligent new-generation Tower control and command System for air and scene situation display and various flight and scene conflict alarms for a Tower controller at the same time.
Flight plan data, which is data represented by an aircraft, includes several elements such as flight number, departure airport, destination airport, execution date, departure time, landing time, model, aircraft number, wake, and airborne equipment.
The operation environment data mainly comprises data such as runway state, airspace state and the like.
The ATC system and the iTWR system are both control and command systems of an air management department, the ATC system mainly faces to an air management district adjustment department and an access department and provides control services for high-altitude aircrafts and medium-low aircrafts, and the iTWR system mainly faces to an air management tower department and provides control services for low-altitude aircrafts, scene aircrafts and vehicles.
In an airport with an ATC system and an iTWR system, a departure aircraft is firstly controlled by the iTWR system, and after taking off, the ATC system provides control service until the aircraft flies out of the area; the air vehicle entering the port is firstly controlled by the ATC system and then controlled by the iTWR system when the air vehicle descends to a certain height until the air vehicle stops at the parking place.
In the whole process of providing the control service for the aircraft, the control service must be accurate and continuous, for example, the same flight plan data should be consistent in the ATC system and the iTWR system, the operating environment data should also be consistent in the ATC system and the iTWR system, otherwise, a control error is easily caused to cause an operating risk, and the functions of the two systems can well meet the function expansion of the present and future.
The ATC system and the iTWR system are generally two independent systems, and in order to maintain consistency of flight plan data and operating environment data between the systems, the conventional method is as follows: the ATC system and the iTWR system agree on an interface for data synchronization, and the iTWR system unidirectionally receives flight plan data and operating environment data output by the ATC system through the interface.
The disadvantages and reasons of the conventional techniques are:
(1) data interaction between systems is insufficient: the data synchronization mode is that the iTWR system receives data output by the ATC system in a unidirectional mode, so that data modification made by a controller in the iTWR system is invalid, and a modifying party in the ATC system can take effect. The air traffic control tower department mainly operates the iTWR system, which is not favorable for the normal operation of a tower controller and increases the complexity of the control operation.
(2) The upgrading period of the system function is long: data interaction is carried out between the two systems by means of the appointed interface document, if the service function is changed, the interface document needs to be modified firstly, and then the two systems modify, jointly debug and test, so that the development period is too long.
(3) There are potential operational and upgrade maintenance risks: the data synchronization service function and the data synchronization function between the two sets of systems are strictly performed according to the interface document, if one set of system has the upgrade of function extension, the other set of system must be upgraded, otherwise, the data synchronization error is possibly caused, and the operation risk is brought.

In the ATC system or the iTWR system, a system core network generally consists of A, B, C three independent networks, and includes a plurality of subsystems, such as a monitoring data processing subsystem, an alarm data processing subsystem, a flight data processing subsystem, and a data input/output processing subsystem, and various types of data need to be transmitted between them, such as flight plan data, runway status data, and airspace status data, some types of data only transmit between two subsystems, some types of data need to transmit between the subsystems of the whole system, these data transmissions all use a common middleware subsystem (for example, ActiveMQ, KafKa, and some systems use a middleware subsystem developed by a manufacturer), and each subsystem reads and writes various types of data through the middleware subsystem, as shown in fig. 1.
Both ATC and iTWR systems have the same type of data: flight plan data and operating environment data (i.e., runway status, airspace status, etc.) are also maintained consistent and accurate during normal operation.
Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a system for the combined operation of an ATC system and an iTWR system, which includes the ATC system, the iTWR system, and a middleware system. The ATC system and the iTWR system realize the bidirectional transmission of various data through the middleware system.
As shown in fig. 1, the ATC system and the iTWR system include a plurality of subsystems as described above. The middleware subsystem comprises a plurality of middleware arranged in the ATC system and the iTWR system, and the monitoring data processing subsystem, the alarm data processing subsystem, the flight data processing subsystem and the data input and output processing subsystem realize the writing and reading of various data through the plurality of middleware subsystems.
Further, when the combined operation of the ATC system and the iTWR system is realized, the core switches of the two systems may be connected to each other, so that the data may flow through each other, which facilitates the reading of the data in the iTWR system and the reading of the data in the ATC system by the iTWR system.

In a third mode, if both the two systems are dual networks, the connection mode of the core switch is as shown in fig. 4:
the intermediate subsystem of the ATC system is connected with LAN-A, LAN-B and LAN-C, the intermediate subsystem of the iTWR system is connected with LAN-A, LAN-B and LAN-C, and the LAN-A, LAN-B and LAN-C of the ATC system and the iTWR system are connected with each other.
After the cores between the iTWR and ATC systems are connected, data can be directly read and written into the cores through a common middleware subsystem.
Compared with the prior art, the invention mainly has the following advantages:
(1) the core connection mode is adopted by the iTWR and ATC systems, so that data can be communicated with each other, the data in the iTWR system can be conveniently read in the ATC system, the data in the ATC system can also be conveniently read by the iTWR system, the two systems can adopt the same set of data, and the consistency and the accuracy of the data between the two systems are fundamentally ensured.
