EUROCONTROL - EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre

Description

The origins of the Experimental Centre

The EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) was officially established as the research and development arm of the EUROCONTROL Agency about 40 years ago. Its initial responsibilities were defined as:

The EEC was the first establishment in the world to perform a totally digital real time simulation for ATC. A real time simulation replicates the control room of an ATC centre and the ATC system behaviour as well as the behaviour of the aircraft in the designated airspace. The controller interacts with the system in the same way as with the operational environment, and dialogs with pseudo pilots (human beings) who receive the instructions of the controller and "fly" the simulated aircraft. The purpose of a real time simulation is to obtain air traffic controller validation of the new features being simulated and tested such as new tools, new airspace design, new procedures, new air routes. It is of paramount importance to fully validate such new features before they can be operationally implemented by the national air navigation service providers.

The Experimental Centre today

The mission of the Experimental Centre is to carry out research and development in order to improve air traffic management (ATM) in Europe. To fulfill the mission, we
