5. Virtual Centre Concept - context
5
 Geographical decoupling of:
• ATM Data Service Providers (ADSPs)
• Air Traffic Service Units (ATSUs)
 In SESAR 1 and in the future:
decoupling through open and standardised
service interfaces
 Service Oriented Architecture:
• Dataflows organised through Services
• Open and common service interfaces
• Standardised service interfaces as final
objective

6. Virtual Centre Concept - benefits
6
Virtual Centre Concept, a technical
enabler for:
•Optimized technical infrastructure costs to
provide ATM Data
•Dynamic airspace allocation allowing
optimisation of ATM operations:
 Delegation of sectors during peak
hours
 Closure of an ATSUs during night
•Contingency scenarios between European
ATSUs

Virtual Centre Services for CWPs
The main objective of SESAR1 Virtual Centre is to define Services
needed by CWPs for normal operation
Operational Modelling described each of the capabilities
provided by an En-route/Approach ATS Node
Service Modelling described each of the Service
Interfaces for the CWP
SESAR Factsheet on operational modelling
methodology was adopted
SESAR Working Method Services AdoptedWhat is a
Service?

Service:
Distributes updates at
every modification of the
Flight Data.
Co-ordination & Transfer Service:
Manages Coordination and
Transfer operations.
.
Correlation Distribution Service:
Provides a pairing between a
System Flight Plan and a System

19. Maturity of Services
The Maturity of two of the SET1 services:
– FlightDataManagementServices:
• CORE vs Extension - 68% / 32%
• Note: critical flight data such as Aircraft id, Aircraft type, flight plan status
has been agreed as CORE for the Flight Data Management Service
– CoordinationandTransferServices:
• CORE vs Extension - 30% /70%
• Note: Critical Co-ordination data such as Coordination Reference, Speed,
heading, SFL has been agreed as CORE for the C&T service
23
Lessons learned:
•Substantial activity to model all CWP / Service
Providers interactions
•Defined 90% of service interfaces for CWP
•50% of the service interfaces are common
across Industrial Partners
