EMMA2 Airport Simulations (Milan)

In July 2008 real-time simulations for a safety assessment of the Milan Malpensa tower controller working environment were carried out with the NARSIM-Tower validation platform at NLR Amsterdam as part of the EMMA project.

The objective of the simulations was to obtain results that support a safety assessment of the Italian prototype A-SMGCS components developed within the project timeframe.



The following analysis methods were applied during the experiments:
- Observation and Improved Operational Expert Elicitation
- Insertion of Hazards in the Simulations
- Measurement of Parameters for Risk Uncertainty Reduction

Results of the real-time experiments will become available as part of the EMMA2 Validation Analysis Report at the beginning of 2009.
