This report is a technical verification and validation of Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B) using the data link VDL Mode 4. The main objective of the report is to examine the usefulness of TIS-B considering the results from tests performed in the Stockholm Terminal Area and for the Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) at Arlanda airport. The results are compared with the requirements that have been set by the standardisation organisations ICAO, RTCA, Eurocontrol and Eurocae. TIS-B is however such a new concept, so most of the operational requirements have not yet been defined.The process for performing the evaluation of TIS-B involves three stages: · Study the requirements on TIS-B, ADS-B, radar and A-SMGCS. · Verify TIS-B by performing tests at Arlanda airport. · Validate the test results through analysis. A theoretical study of slot allocation optimisation is performed to decide how the slot allocation is to be implemented. The report includes a Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA). The FHA is done to see if the applications for TIS-B are ready for implementation or if more hazard preventing actions has to be taken, before any operational actions can be performed. The report also involves a theoretical introduction to Air Traffic Management (A...
