5 Schedule

Management

a) The schedule management module should create, manage, and communicate

the seasonal flight schedule and day-of-operation flight-status information

that drives almost all airport decisions. The schedule manager should provide

user interface panels to maintain data, such as:

i. Handling seasonal flight schedules, that is, the schedule information,

in IATA SSIM Chapter 7 format, that is related to sets of flights that

operate between specific start and end dates

ii. Handling operational flight information, that is, information related

to a specific flight on a specific date

iii. Controlling the generation of flight legs automatically by unrolling

seasonal flight schedules to create individual flight records.

b) There should not be any limit to the number of schedules that can be

managed. Future schedules created by the schedule manager should be

ableto be analyzed in real time to forecast capacity. The schedule

management module should provide consistent schedule and real-time flight

information to all AODB connected applications manually or with automated

airline data feeds.

c) The schedule management module should enable the user to:

i. Create, view, update, edit, and analyze seasonal flight schedule and

operational flight data using manual data entry

ii. Load IATA SSIM (Chapter 7) schedules into the AODB and

automatically infer and link data connecting arrivals with departures

iii. Ensure the consistency of flight schedule and flight data, preventing

errors that could become costly mistakes

iv. Disseminate consistent up-to-date flight-schedule and flight-status

information throughout the enterprise

v. Increase collaborative decision-making and overall organizational

effectiveness by ensuring all staff members have access to identical,

accurate flight schedule and day-of-operation flight information.

d) Planners should be able to use the schedule manager to manage current and

future airport-specific flight schedules, to print reports and to search for new

airline service offerings. The schedule manager should automatically roll out

the flights for the next few days from the seasonal schedule and makes the

data available to the day-of-operation decision-support products and to flight

information display systems. If turn data were not available when the

schedule file was loaded, the schedule manager should have the ability to link

day-of-operation arrivals with departures based on an intelligent turn-

forecasting module.

e) Users in the operational control center must have the ability to manually enter

flight-related data that is not received in real time.

f) There should be no limit to the number of schedule manager users. They may

all view flight status and, if authorized, update flight information. There

should be airline filters so that users may see only their authorized flights.

The schedule management module can be used to pass updated estimated

times of arrival to FIDS.

g) There should be limits on what users may view and update. Users should be

allowed to view and modify information for only the flights for which they

are responsible. When an airport supplies the schedule management module

to an airline, the airline users should be allowed to view and modify

information only for the airline’s flights.

6 Gate Management

that can be configured by airport staff to reflect the specific needs of the

airport.

c) The gate-management system should operate seamlessly with an integrated

central airport database that can receive flight information from multiple

airlines, national air control centers, and data providers, such as Flight Stats,

and that can provide information to external systems such as FIDS, billing

systems, and accounting systems. Changes made to information processed in

the gate-management system will update the database in real time; changes

will not be updated by means of a batch update process based on a timer or a

manually-invoked save command.

d) The gate-management system should work seamlessly with other airport

scheduled OUT, in graphical form so the user does not have to enter or select

the flight to view the information.

j) The gate-management system should be able to support distributed

operations, where a central workstation at the primary airport controls the

planning and real-time allocation of parking positions at secondary airports.

k) The gate-management system should operate on a non-proprietary

architecture that will support the development of interfaces with other

systems installed at the airport.

l) The gate-management system should operate on personal computers running

the latest versions Microsoft Windows as an operating system.

m) The display of the bar chart should be made available to multiple users from

a URL in a web browser. The chart will not require manual refresh and will

not redraw an entire page when a flight status has changed. HTTP refresh is

not acceptable.

n) The bar chart display should support the definition of user profiles, such as

preferred graphical settings and the gate (stands) a user view.

o) The bar chart display should provide a history window that shows all recent

changes.
