EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The FLYSAFE Project is concerned with the development of a prototype Next Generation Integrated Surveillance System (“NG-ISS”).  The Traffic functionality of the NG-ISS groups several subsystems with response-times ranging from immediate reaction (safety net functions such as ACAS), through tactical alerting systems (e.g. airport surface movement alerting) to inputs for strategic decision and planning aids.  

This document, the report on “Critical Design Issues for Traffic HMI”, documents the identified critical HMI areas for the Traffic segment of the NG-ISS.  The report outlines those critical HMI design issues identified in Work Package 3.1.3 “Definition of HMI Alternatives” and presents solutions recommended by the Traffic Procedures and HMI Focus Group as being best suited for operational use.  

The areas of Traffic functionality covered in this document are ASPA Sequencing and Merging (Traffic “Airborne” strand), the Runway Collision Avoidance Function (Traffic “Runway” strand) and the Surface Movement Awareness and Alerting System (Traffic “Taxi” strand).
