Functional Modelling of the Air Traffic Control and the Integration Perspectives of the Integrated Services

Abstract

Aviation is the sector within transportation which manages the most data during operation. Air traffic control has a specific position, because it needs a significant amount of data in order to fulfil its tasks and its complex processes require close cooperation between the organizational units within the whole sector. These data are provided by the industry partners on mandatory base, in their own interest, in good quality. This article explores the structure and organization of air traffic control, the functions fulfilled during the operation of the organization and the managed data connected to these functions as well as the strategic possibilities of forming integrated solutions. Necessary information for the tasks can be identified by the functional modelling of air traffic control. The elaborated model provides the basis for the establishment of complex content provider systems which can manage information regarding air traffic control and even aviation related data jointly. The application of these systems contributes to the increase of the efficiency of traffic operations and the more economical operations even in case of air or ground based aviation organizations.
