Description of the simulation tool built and used to assess a new approach to ATM system resilience.

What is it about?

Resilience is identified as the capability of the Air Traffic Management system to recover its nominal performance in presence of critical conditoins, whihc can be caused by a variety of factors, such as very critical weather conditons to intentional disruption of the services. In the paper the a new approach to improve resilicne of the system is briefly discussed, toghether with the simualtion tool that has been used to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach to resilience enginnering.

Why is it important?

The approach proposed for Air Traffic Management system resilince is totally new, basing on the search for the optimal reallocation of the ATM system reosurces to recover, as much as possible, its nominal performance. The simulation tool developed to verify the validity of the proposed approach take into account, also if in a simplified way, both systems and humans simulation models. The approach used is modular, so to assure a simple improvement of the simulation environment, as far as new improved models of systems or human become available.
