Abstract

The next generation Air Transport Management (ATM) requires performance-based safety management that is fully integrated into seamless operational management. To realize this objective, a framework is proposed in this article that structures risk information on ATM consoles in terms of four design principles: (i) integrating operational and safety-related data, (ii) managing interactions and minimizing transfer of risks to other sectors, (iii) generating risk patterns from accumulated experience and (iv) managing resources and safety barriers. The framework is applied to an approach control unit of a regional airport for the design of a performance dashboard that is linked to a safety module for managing hazards and safety barriers. In this sense, safety management is not an additional task to normal operations since risk information is integrated with operational data on a daily basis. Furthermore, the safety module combines traditional elements of bow-ties with new safety indices such as complexity metrics and risk patterns.
