Abstract

Although the importance of scenarios in Air Traffic Control (ATC) training and simulation has long been well known, there still exists a lack of common understanding and standardized practices in scenario development in this domain. It is an extensive process beginning with the stakeholders’ descriptions of the scenario and finishing with the generation of the corresponding executable specifications. The purpose of developing an ATC Scenario Language is to implement a standard scenario specification that will lead to a common mechanism for specifying, verifying and executing ATC scenarios, effective sharing of scenarios among various simulation and training environments, improve the consistency among different training modules, and enable the reuse of scenario specifications. The proposed ATC Scenario Language is built as an extension to the newly published Aviation Scenario Definition Language (ASDL), complementing ASDL to support ATC scenario specification.
