Periodic Reporting for period 2 - PJ15 COSER (Common Services)

Teaser

Summary

Nowadays the ATM business is highly fragmented in Europe with the different stakeholders deploying different solutions for tackling similar functionalities in different locations.
A generic principle of the SESAR programme is that, where services can be delivered in a harmonised manner, they should be. One of the most efficient manners of doing so is through the provision of Common Services.
A Common Service is a service that provides a capability (business functionality) to consumers in the same way that they would otherwise need to provide themselves. As a natural consequence, the Common Services approach addresses the unnecessary costs of fragmentation and ensures the delivery of such functionalities with an improved cost effectiveness, which should in turn benefit the whole European ATM Community.
The main objectives of the PJ.15 project are:

Objective 1: Definition and validation of the Common Services
The main objective of this project is to define, develop and validate the identified Common Services in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the Common Services and the cost-efficiency derived from the Common Service approach.
The following Common Services will be developed and validated in the PJ.15 solutions:
â€¢ PJ.15-01. Sub-Regional Demand Capacity Balancing
â€¢ PJ.15-02. Delay Sharing
â€¢ PJ.15-08. Trajectory Prediction
â€¢ PJ.15-09. Data Centre Service for Virtual Centre
â€¢ PJ.15-10. Static Aeronautical Data
â€¢ PJ.15-11. Aeronautical Digital Map

Objective 2: Integration of the architectural changes produced by the Common Services
PJ.15, through its lifecycle, will produce a number of deliverables which are of interest from the architectural perspective. These deliverables will be delivered for their integration into the ATM architecture (EATMA) on a yearly basis and with the required level of quality and consistency.

Objective 3: Discovery and definition of additional Common Services to be processed in the future
This objective is focused on the discovery and identification of new candidate Common Services coming from other SESAR projects.

Work performed

PJ.15-01 (Sub-Regional DCB service) solution has concentrated on delivering the required artefacts and conducting validation activities to a V2/TRL4 standard to develop the research into the DCB common service and prove that the operational concept is feasible and has the potential to deliver the stated benefits. At the end of this year, members of the project submitted Data-Pack deliverables for the V2 gate review which is scheduled to be held towards the end of January 2019.

PJ15-02 (E-AMAN Common Service) solution had a focus on delivering the TRL4 artefacts as required and planned:
â€¢ Updated the Business Plan and High Level
â€¢ Developed the Service Description document
â€¢ Plan, develop and report the two validation exercises
Two technical validation activities were performed, one by DFS, one by NATS / INDRA validating two scenarios of the E-AMAN Common Service, the Federation and the Colocation scenario. The V2 / TRL4 Data Pack was finally delivered to the SJU and comments were received and implemented. The Data Pack was resubmitted. The TRL4 Gate for PJ.15-02is scheduled for January 2019.
The V3 / TRL5 activities started, i.e. the preparation of the TRL5 validation activity and the preparation of the V3 / TRL5 CBA.

PJ15-08 (Trajectory Prediction Service) has concentrated on establishing the scope of the service and its interaction with other SESAR trajectory activities (PJ18-02 A&B in particular), with SJU direction at the TRL2 maturity gate to re-focus on the Business Model and High Level Architecture. Further, there was concern regarding IOP and other activities currently in progress within Wave 1. Development of a co-ordination document (SJU requested, non-contractual and in combination with PJ18-02 leadership) lead to the scope being clarified as aiming to deploy the complete trajectory solution, taking into account the elements of work covering elements of the overall scope. This activity involved all members of the solution.

PJ15-09 prepared and attended to the OTSC of the Virtual Centre on February. Following the discussions of the Virtual Centre and the scope of the Solution, and adjustment on the scope took place and the solution start to work on the OSED for Delegation and Contingency in collaboration with PJ16-03. Initial draft OSED with the Delegation was delivered by the end of the year.

PJ15-10 and PJ15-11 prepared and passed successfully the TRL2 Gate and then start to work on the V2 Data Pack.
â€¢ Updated the Business Plan and High Level
â€¢ Developed the Service Description document
â€¢ Plan, develop and report the two validation exercises

Final results

The main result of the PJ.15 project will be to demonstrate the technical feasibility and the cost-efficiency expected of the six Common Services.
The impact from the deployment of the Common Services Model will be twofold.
On the one side, the Common Services represent a first step to a profound transformation in the European ATM Business Model. In alignment with SESAR 2020â€™s vision, the Common Services are expected to bring performance-driven innovations.
On the other side, PJ.15 brings a real and tangible benefit to Europe and its citizens. The Solutions that will be deployed could increase the geographical scope where the SESAR Solutions are deployed. This increases the number of flights and passengers that will benefit from the increased Safety provided by SESAR Solutions. For the citizens, the cost-efficiency brought by the Common Services will be translated into a reduction of air navigation services cost per flight which should reduce the final airfare ticket paid by the passenger.
