7 ART NLR Introduction, Malmö November 13th, Dr. FJ van Schaik - NLR ART validation ATM Problem statement (simplified): How to control a remote airport in a safe manner? Remote NLR and ART

8 Safety ART NLR Introduction, Malmö November 13th, Dr. FJ van Schaik - NLR ART Validation and Safety Determine operation 1 Assess risk tolerability 6 Assess severity 4 Identify safety bottlenecks 7 Assess frequency 5 Construct scenarios 3 Identify hazards 2 Iterate Identify objective 0 Decision making Operational development Preliminary Safety Assessment loop

9 Evaluation, verification and validation Evaluation: Early stage exposure of concepts and solutions to the controllers with direct feed back of controllers opinions into the development process Verifications: Testing against requirements mainly by Industry; it ensures proper functioning before Validation begins Validation: Controllers use the concepts and solutions in (near) operational conditions and establish whether these are the right concepts and solutions ART NLR Introduction, Malmö November 13th, Dr. FJ van Schaik - NLR
