Abstract This final report documents the tests results on the Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Air Traffic (AT) Operational Testing conducted at Atlanta, GA and Detroit, MI International Airports. The purpose of the AMASS Operational Test (OT) was to verify the Critical Operational Issues (COI).

The AMASS is a runway collision alert system that provides tower air traffic controllers with automated conflict warnings and alerts to reduce the risks of runway collisions. The AMASS system provides tower controllers with both aural and visual alerts.

The AMASS system receives raw video from the Airport Surface Detection Equipment-3 (ASDE-3) and airborne approach targets from the Terminal Automation Interface Unit (TAIU). The TAIU receives target data from the Surveillance Communications Interface Processor (SCIP) and aircraft tag data from the Automated Radar Tracking System (ARTS). It tracks this data and sends appropriate position, vector, and a predicted approach runway to AMASS. Targets are then processed by the AMASS Safety Logic to determine if any targets have the potential to create a hazardous situation.

The Operational Testing on the AMASS COIs questions has been evaluated/assessed, resulting in no high issues. The Airway Facilities (AF)/AT OT Test Team members felt that the AMASS system has shown dramatic improvements and is currently operationally ready.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Operational Test (OT) for the Airport Area Movement Safety System (AMASS) was split into two testing phases, Airway Facilities (AF) OT and Air Traffic (AT) OT. The AF OT testing was conducted at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conducted at William B. Hartsfield Atlanta Airport (ATL,) on July 18 through August 20, 1999. Any open issues that resulted from the AF and AT OT testing were verified during AJ! and AT regression testing. The AF OT regression testing was conducted at DTW and was held on February 22 and 23,2000. The AT OT regression testing was conducted at ATL, on June 1 through 23,2000.

The Operational Testing on the AMASS Critical Operational Issues (COI) questions have been evaluated/assessed, resulting in no high issues. The following medium issues are associated with COI listed below:

COI 1 : Does the AMASS provide the controller with alerts on potential runway collisions?

ATIssue 8: (Medium) AMASS is currently limited to 12,000 fect of movement area coverage from the antenna.

Resolution: Modify AMASS to support the full Airport Surface Detection Equipment-3 (ASDE-3) range coverage of up to 24,000 feet (System Trouble Report (STR) has been written).

Status: This problem will be fixed prior to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Denver hiternational Airport (DEN) going Operational Readiness Declaration.

C012: Is the AMASS site adaptable (e.g., eliminate unwanted alerts due to: multipath, sequential alerts, etc.)?

By implementing key software fixes the false alert rate was reduced from over 60 per month to approximately 4 per month. The nuisance alert rate that coincided with the AMASS final parameter set was approximately two per month.

AF Issue 2: (Medium) Line Replacement Unit (LRU) replacement from the front of the cabinet for the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is very difficult. Cable dressing complicated the removal/replacement procedures, with cable ties having to be cut to facilitate removal of equipment.

Iie,solutzon. Modify AMASS equipmcnt to support LKU rcplaccrrlent froni the front of the cabinet.

Status: STR has been written.

COI 3: Does the AMASS provide the controls and displays necessary for thc controllerlsupervisor to pcrforrn the assigricd duties?

ATIssue 6a: (Medium) AT Training should include a clear and concise presentation on the AMASS Alert Scenarios.

Resolution: Provide a video demonstrating each AMASS alert scenario on the potential collisions.

Status: Currcntly the training does provide slides on each alert scenario, but the OT test team members want to see a video demonstration on each AMASS alert scenario (Visual Aid on the general timing and distance of each alert scenario).

ATIssue 7b: (Medium) The AT Users Manual provides too much info~mation for use by a controller on a day-to-day basis.

Resolution: Include a Quick Reference Card to summarize the AMASS commands (in addition to the planned Mini-Display Control Unit (DCU) keypad template.)

Status: AMASS Work Group has this issue and is in the process of deciding whether or not to develop a quick reference card.

COI 4: Does thc AMASS provide the controller the capability to inhibitlre-inhibit specific targets froni activating alc~ts?

No concernslissues were expressed with the inhibithe-inhibit functionality.

COT 5: Does the AMASS degrade any other FAA systerrl to which it is intcrfaced?

AFlssue 10: (Medium) AMASS is generating a video stitching on the ASDE-3 Display.

Resolution: Modify the AMASS equipment to resolvc the video timing issue.

Status: A screen refresh removes the video stitching; this problem will bc fixed (STR has been written).

The AFIAT OT Test Team members felt that the AMASS system has shown dramatic improvements and is currently operationally ready.

1. -. INTRODUCTION.

1.1 PURPOSE.

The purpose of Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Testing was to verify that the AMASS satisfies the five following Critical Operational Issues (COI) defined in the AMASS Operational Requirements Document (ORD):

COI-1 : Does the AMASS provide the controller with alerts on potential runway collisions?

COI-2: Is the AMASS site adaptable (e.g., eliminate unwanted alerts due to: multipath, sequential alerts, etc.)?

COI-3: Does the AMASS provide the controls and displays necessary for the controller/supervisor to perform the assigned duties?

COI-4: Does the AMASS provide the controller the capability to inhibithe-inhibit specific targets from activating alerts?

COI-5: Does the AMASS degrade any other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system to which it is interfaced?

To accomplish the above task, the AMASS Operational Test (OT) Plan allocated each individual AMASS ORD requirement to one or more of the five COIs as Measures of Performance (MOP). A success criteria, or Minimum Acceptable Operating Requirement (MAOR), was then derived from each MOP. The AMASS Operational Test Plan then allocated each MOPIMAOR pair to either the Airways Facilities (AF) OT effort or the Air Traffic (AT) OT effort. Each MOPIMAOR pair allocated to the ATIAF OT effort was then further allocated to one or more of the three planned ATIAF OT test procedures.

1.2 SCOPE.

This report discusses the results of the AMASS OT testing; the OT testing was split into two testing phases, an AF and AT. The AF OT testing was conducted at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield Atlanta Airport (ATL,) on July 18 through August 20, 1999. The open issues that resulted from the AF and AT OT testing were verified during an AF and AT regression testing. The AI; OT regression testing was conducted at DTW and was held on February 22 and 23, 2000. The AT OT regression testing was conducted at ATL on June 1 through 23,2000.

3. AMASS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION.

3.1 MISSION REVIEW.

The AMASS is a runway collision alert system that provides tower air traffic controllers with automated conflict warnings and alerts to reduce the risks of runway collisions. The AMASS system provides tower controllers with both aural and visual alerts.

3.2 AMASS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION.

The AMASS system receives raw video from the Airport Surface Detection Equipment-3 (ASDE-3) and airborne approach targets from the Terminal Automation Interface Unit (TAIU). The TAlU receives target data from the Surveillance Communications Interface Processor (SCIP) and aircraft tag data from the Automated Radar Tracking System (ARTS). It tracks this data and sends appropriate position, vector, and a predicted approach runway to AMASS. Targets are then processed by the AMASS Safety Logic to determine if any targets have the potential to create a hazardous situation. When it is determined there is a possible hazardous situation, AMASS will deliver an aural alert, a visual text message, and highlight the targets in potential conflict.

3.3 TEST SYSTEM-CONFIGURATION.

AT Operational Testing The AMASS was tested with fill1 functionality except for the Pre-Product Improvements. The AMASS system relies on the ASDE-3lTAIU configuration, local airport operations, and external equipment interfaces. All the AMASS alerts were tested in the factory, but only a subset was optimized for the various sites. The test was conducted using the AMASS software Build 2.0 and included local site adaptation parameters at ATL. The TAIU software was Build 2.0 and ASDE-3 software Build 61 1 3.

The airport confipu-ation at ATL consisted of four parallel runways. The ASDE-3 antenna is located on top of the tower cab. The ASDE-3lAMASS is configured as a seven-channel system. The ATL Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility (TRACON) is co-located at the airport and also the ARTS IIIA. Terminal Surveillance data is provided by ASR-9 located at the airport. The AMASS TAW is located at the TRACON.

AF Operational Testing The AMASS was tested with full maintenance functionality. The AMASS system relies on the ASDE-3 RMS interface. The test was conducted using the AMASS software Build 1.0 and included local site adaptation parameters at DTW. The TAIU software was Build 1.0 and ASDE-3 software Build 6 1 1.3.

The DTW ASDE-3 antenna is located on top of the tower cab. The ASDE-3lAMASS is configured as a five-channel system. The DTW TRACON is co-located at the airport and also the ARTS IZIA. Terminal Surveillance data is provided by ASR-9 located at the airport. The AMASS TAW is located at the TRACON.

The AMASS external interfaces consist of the ASDE-3, and the TAIIJ. The TAIU interfaces with the SCIP, and the ARTS IIIA.

The ASDE-3 provides radar target data on objects up to the tower height, and 24,000 feet horizontal. The ASDE-3 also provides the displaylcontrol functions, and the RMS interface to the AMASS via serial lines. For airborne--approach aircraft, surveillance radar data is received from the SCIP via the AMASS TAIU and transmitted to the AMASS cabinet by serial modems. The TAIU also interfaces with the ARTS IllA to receive flight plan information.

Only the ARTS IIIA, ARTS IIIE, and ARTS ILE interfaces are currently developed. The remaining automation interfaces such as Enroute Automated Radar Tracking System (pEARTS), and Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) have yet to be developed for the TAW. These preplamed interface improvements, along with flight plan functionality, including the use of aircraft tag data, were not evaluated during this Operational Testing.

4. TEST AND EVALUATION DESCRIPTION.

The OT testing was split into two testing phases; AF and AT. Rie AT OT testing was broken down into three testing events; Developmental Test (DT) Data Review, AMASS Pararrleter Test, and the Normal Operations Test. The AF OT testing was broken down into two testing events; DT Data Review, and the System Maintenance Activities Test. The following sections discuss the test eventslresults of the AMASS ATIAF OT testing.

4.1 AT OT, DT DATA REVIEW.

4.1.1 Test Event Description.

The AT D'T Data Review was performed at the Technical Ccnter. The DT Data Review consisted of a desk audit of the contractor performed Development Test and Site Acceptance Test reports, System Trouble Reports (STR), the AMASS ORD arid the AMASS Specification (FAA-E- 2869), the AMASS AT training course, document reviews and formal contractual approvals. This review cvaluated whether each of the MOPS, identified in the DT procedure, had been satisfactorily tested arid whether the results met the corresponding success criteria (MAORs).

All the MOPsMAORs passed exccpt for MOPNOAR 1-26 listed below. Appendix A to this report includes the MOPNAOR Result Matrix.

MOP-1.26: Clutter Map. AMASS shall maintain a clutter map to aid in the removal of static or slowly varying clutter.

MAOR-1.26:

An AMAS clutter map must be rriaintained to aid in the removal of static or slowly varying clutter.

MOPIMOAR 1-26 is failed because AMASS Clutter Map is lirriited to 12,000 feet of niovement area coverage where the ASDE-3 area coverage is 24,000 feet. Norden will modify the AMASS system to support the full ASDE-3 range coverage (STR has been written). This issue (AT Issue #8, appendix B) was classified as a Medium and will be fixed prior to Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW) and Denver International Airport (DEN) going Operational Readiness Declaration.

4.2 AT OT, AMASS PARAMETER TESTING.

The purpose ofthc AMASS Parameters Testing was to determine if the AMASS could be adapted to allow for the implementation of the alert set and parameterization concept desired by the AMASS Working Group (AWG). This test event was divided into three sub-tests; the AMASS Parameter Study (APS), the Operational Events Test (OET) and the Operational Usage Test (OUT). These test events were conducted at the Technical Center using the ACT-3 10 AMASS laboratory facilities.

4.2.1 AMASS Parameter Study (APS).

4.2.1.1 Test Event Description.

The purpose of the APS sub-test was to determine if the AMASS is sufficiently adaptable to minimize false and nuisance alerts and to develop an initial alert set based on parameterization concept provided by the AMASS Working Group.

4.2.1.2 Data Collection/Analvsis.

The process began with the collection of AMASS data at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), ATL, and DTW. More than 1000 hours of AMASS data was recorded in SF0 and ATL, and was sent to the Technical Center for analysis. Additionally, approximately 500 hours of usable data were collected in DTW. Data were collected for AMASS using both the STANDBY and ONLINE ASDE-3 transmitters. In addition, both encoder A and B were exercised during data collection.

The analysis consisted of replaying the recorded data utilizing the playback feature of the AMASS. This feature allows for data to be played wing different alert sets, timeldistance alert parameters, airport configurations, and multipath parameters. The initial analysis of the data received from Atlanta began with an alert and parameter set that was conservative. Alert listings were generated and analyzed to determine the number of false alerts (primarily due to false targets) and real alerts. Once this analysis was completed, the AMASS parameters were modified in an attempt to reduce the number of nuisance alerts that did not meet the guidelines set forth in the AMASS Working Group. This process was repeated through four subsequently tighter alert sets until the parameterization of the AMASS alert set was optimized to minimize nuisance alerts.

4.2.1.3 Results/Discussion.

All the MOPs/MOARs (appendix C) in this sub-test passed with no open issues.

The init adaptation test had six STRs written to lower the false alert rate. The main issues found during this test are:

Page 14: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

a. (Issue # i e, appendix R) False tracks can reach real track status on a taxiway and then move across the grass and onto runway surfaces resulting in false alerts.

b. (Issue Kld, appendix B) AMASS generates false tracks and false alerts in heavy rain.

c. (Issue #la, appendix B) Long-term false tracks on a runway surface will transition to "real" track status within 4 minutes.

These issues listed above were verified/passed during the AT OT regression-testing period. The false alert I-ate was reduced fiom over 60 per month to approxiniately 4 per month. 'The nuisance alert rate that coincided with the final parameter set was approximately two per month. The final alert parameter study was presented to the AMASS Work Group on June 23,2000, at the OT Regression testing phase, and the final parameter listing is contained in appendix D.

4.2.2 Operational Events Test (OET).

4.2.2.1 Test Event Description.

The purpose ofthe OET sub-test was to demonstrate the AMASS response to each alert situation included in the core alert set. The OET sub-test utilized the data collected and analyzed during the APS sub-test to develop specific scenarios for each alert cell that was identified in the AWG alert set. Twenty-eight test cases, comprised of one or more iterations, were developed.

4.2.2.2 Data Collection/Analysis.

AT controllers were asked to view each alert scenario and record how the AMASS response to the situation presented would affect their ability to perform their assigned duties when following the Draft ATC AMASS Operational Procedures. The test team responses were then transcribed and reviewed (appendix E). Test team discussions were held to review the composite results. The feedback ~eceived on the questionnaires and in the discussion sessions were then used to determine if' any further modifications to the initial parameterization concept were necessary prior to the conclusion of the test and in preparation for OT at ATL.

4.2.2.3 Results/Discussion.

The execution of the OET sub-test resulted in minor modifications to the timeldistance parameterization of AMASS. All the MOPsMOARs (appendix F) in this sub-test have passed with no open issues.

One ofthe main issues fourid during this test relates to taxiing aircraft acrossloff the runway surfaces, which sometimes can cause alerts because these tracks do not include a projection vector. The AMASS system was rnodified to use a projection vector which reduced the number of nuisance alerts. These issues were verified and closed at the OT regression-testing period.

4.2.3 Opcrational Usage Test (OUT) Sub-Ta .

4.2.3.1 Test Event Description.

The purpose of the Operational Usage Test (OUT) was to examine the AT training, documentation, and usage of the AMASS User Interface.

4.2.3.2 Data Collection/Analysis.

The OUT sub-test was performed after the initial AT OT training introduction was given and after the test team members had an opportunity to use the AMASS user interface. A questionnaire (appendix G) was given to each test team and a discussion session was held to review the answers and any issues.

4.2.3.3 Results/Discussion.

All the MOPsIMOARs (appendix H) in this sub-test were passed during the AT OT regression- testing period.

Several issues were generated during this testing phase. The two issues that remain open are the following:

a. (Issue #6b, Medium, appendix B) AT Training should include a clear and concise presentation (video demonstration) on the AMASS Alerts.

b. (Issue #7b, Medium, appendix B), the test team members felt that the AT User's Manual was too cumbersome for day-to-day use and that a Quick Reference Card should be included in the manual.

4.3 OPERATIONAL TESTING AT ATL.

The purpose of performing operational testing at the ATL was to expose the test team members to AMASS operations in an operational setting. The operational testing was divided into two sub-tests; the OET and OUT.

4.3.1 Opcrational Events Test (OET) Sub-Test.

4.3.1.1 Test Event Description.

The OET sub-test consisted of injecting synthetic targets against Targets of Opportunity to create each alert scenario script. The OT Test Team members would evaluate each alert scenario script in the Towcr Cab.

4.3.1.2 Data CollectionIAnalysis.

The test team was asked to view each alert scenario and record how the AMASS response to the situation presented would affect their ability to perform their assigned duties when following the Draft A'I'C AMASS Operational Procedures. The feedback received on the questionnaires (appendix I) and in the discussion sessions were then used to determine if any further modifications to the AMASS parameters were necessary prior to the conclusion of the test.

4.3.1.3 Results/Discussion.

The execution of the OET sub-test resulted in rninor modifications to the time/distarice parameterization of AMASS. All open issues in this sub-test have passed and was verified during the AT OT regression-testing period.

One of the issues during this test was the TAIU might not provide the first update for a new target under track until up to 4 seconds after entering the runway approach zone. The TAIU was fixed to provide the first update within 1 second after entering the ruriway approach zone. This issue was verified and retested at the AT OT regression-testing period.

4.3.2 Operational Usage Test (OUT) Sub-Test.

4.3.2.1 Test Event Description.

The purpose of this OUT sub-test was to examine the training, documentation, and usage of the AMASS User Interface in an operational setting.

4.3.2.2 Data Collection/Analysis.

Test team members were given the opportunity to use the AT User's Manual and AMASS User Interface to perform the three AMASS operations prior to completing the questionriaires (appendices J and K) which included selecting operational configurations, openinglclosing runways, and adjusting the alert speaker volume. The AT Test Team members had formal AMASS A'IT training prior to going to ATL.

All open issues in this sub-test passed arid were verified during the AT OT regression-testing period except for issues 6b and 7b (refer to section 4.2.3.3).

4.4 AF OOT, DT DATA REVIEW.

4.4.1 Test Event Description.

The AF DT Data Review was performed at the Technical Center. The DT Data Review consisted of a desk audit of the contractor-perford Development Test and Site Acceptance Test reports, STRs, the AMASS ORD and the AMASS Specification (FAA-E-2869), the AMASS AT training course, document reviews, and formal contractual approvals. This review evaluated whether each of the MOPS identified in the DT procedure had been satisfactorily tested and whether the results met the corresponding success criteria (MAORs).

4.4.2 Results/Discussion.

All the MOPsIMAORs have passed. Appendix L, to this report includes the MOPIMAOR Result Matrix.

4.5 MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES TEST.

4.5.1 Test Event Description.

The AMASS AF Operational Testing took place April 20 through 29, 1999, at DTW. This test was concerned with determining whether the AMASS (including contractor provided training and documentation) is effective and suitable for inclusion into the National Airspace Systern (NAS) from a maintenance perspective. The evaluation approach used was to perform a series of test procedures with test teams comprised of representative users from AF field organizations. Three AF technicians were in attendance representing CentraI, Great Lakes, and Southern regions. The test team members were presented with a series of test procedures, each having a defined objective. After each test procedure was performed, the test team members filled out a series of questionnaires.

Three types of testing were conducted at the DTW. These were:

a. System Corrective Actions Test b. System Maintenance Activities Test c. NAS Integration and Degraded Operations Test

The N System Corrective Actions Test verified that AF Technicians have the tools, training, and docun~entation necessary to maintain the AMASS to the L,ine Replacement Unit (LRU) level. This test was performed using AF Technicians to detect, isolate, and correct faults inserted into the system by the test engineers. Opinions were collected from the AF Technicians as to the correctness and completeness of the provided materials to accomplish the assigned tasks at the end of each test script.

Page 18: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

The System Maintenance Activities Test verified that the AF Technicians have the tools, training, and documentation necessary to ensure the AMASS systcrn is operating correctly on a day-to-day basis. This includes the documentation, procedures, and test equipment necessary to certify the system for use on a day-to-day basis. It also includes a verification of the logistics support system in place to support the AMASS system throughout its life cycle. This includes logistical support as it relates to the LRU, corisurnables, software maintenance, site adaptation and optimization, and other logistical support activities included in the AMASS Maintenance concept. This test used AF Technicians to perform the specified maintenance activities included in the Maintenance Handbook. They were asked to provide feedback on the acceptability of the p~ovidcd training, equipment, and related materials.

The AMASS NAS Integration and Degraded Operations Test verified, from an AF perspective, that the requirements associated with the three interfaces to the systems are already established in the NAS systern. These interfaces are: the AMASSITAIU, the AMASSIASDE-3 display subsystem, and the AMASSIASDE-3 Remote Maintenance Monitoring (RMS) Subsystem. The test also verified the ability of the AMASS to continue to perform the assigned mission when the AMASS systern is not operating at 100 percent. This testing took place from two perspectives. First, it focused on the ability of the AMASS to continue operating when one of its subsystem has failed. Failures included both AMASS implemented interface failures and core LRU failures. Secondly, the ability of the AMASS to continue to perform its mission when the ASDE-3 is operating in various degraded states. (This section was verified using Maintenance Demo held at Norden.)

Dimensions International, developers of the TAIU, provided the TAW operation and familiarization training as well as the preventive maintenance procedure overview. The training was extremely useful, as none of the technicians were familiar with the TAlU systern before arrival. The technicians cited the TAIU users and troubleshooting manuals, as being acceptable, although clarification is required in many areas. Many of the concerns arose over the areas of logistic and second level support. Detailed training at each site, as proposed, will remedy these concerns. Appendix M to this report includes the composite AI; questionnaires (February 1999).

In April 1999, the major issue was that thc AMASS rriariuals were inadequate in performing LRU replacement and general rnaintenarice procedures on the AMASS system. AOS discussed system cer-tification issues with the test participants at length, and began development of cer-tification procedures.

All open issues except for issue #2 and #10 were verified and passed during the regression testing at DTW the week of June 18,2000. The AF technicians performed certification procedures and reviewed the change pages to the Maintenance manual. The AMASS manuals were improved but additional cominerits were generated by the AF technicians and were incorporated. The techniciaris followed the certification procedures step-by-step. There are some

discrepancies that need to be conectcd, but the technicians feel they can certify the AMASS and TAIU.

Issue #2 remains open because the LRU replacement from the front of the cabinet for the Central Processor Unit (CPU) is very difficult. Cable dressing complicated the removallreplacement procedures, with cable ties having to be cut to facilitate removal of equipment. This issue (appendix N) was classified as a Medium. Issue #lo is open because AMASS is generating a video stitching on the ASDE-3 Display. This issue was classified as a medium because the video stitching occurs only on a few displays and can take hours and even days to become visible; also any type of screen refresh on the display removes the video stitching.

Appendix N to this report includes the AF Issue Matrix.

Appendix 0 to this report includes the AF Regression Test comments to the AMASS manuals.

5. ISSUE ASSESSMENT.

The OT test team analyzed the correlated test data to determine if operational issues existed and if so, assessed the operational impact. Each issue was identified a criticality which has been defined as follows:

a. High - A problem that will prevent, degrade, or interrupt operational service or jeopardize safety, and has no acceptable work-around.

b. Medium - To prevent, degrade, or interrupt operational service or jeopardize safety, but has an acceptable work--around.

c. Low - The issue constitutes an improvement to the operational use of AMASS and can be resolved through post-commissioning modifications.

6. COI RESULTS.

The evaluation results specific to each COT are presented in the following subsections and categorized by the MOP/MAOR. All the MOPsIMAORs are listed in appendices A and L.

6.1 COIL: -

Does the AMASS provide the controller with alerts on potential runway collisions?

Page 20: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

6.1.1 COI 1-Results.

The following issue is associated with this COI:

ATLssue 8: (Medium) AMASS is currently limited to 12,000 feet of movement area coverage from the antenna.

Resolution: Modify AMASS to support the full ASDE-3 range coverage of up to 24,000 feet (STR has been written).

Stutus: This problem will be fixed prior to DFW and DEN going Operational Readiness Declaration.

6.2 CO12:

Is the AMASS site adaptable (e.g., eliminate unwanted alerts due to: rnultipath, sequential alerts, etc.)?

6.2.1 COI 2 Results.

The following issues are associated with this C01:

AF Issue 2: (Medium) LRU replacement from the front of the cabinet for the CPU is very difficult. Cable dressing complicated the removallreplacernent procedures, with cable ties having to be cut to facilitate removal of equipment.

Resolution: Modify AMASS equipment to support LRU replacernent from the front of the cabinet.

Status: STR has been written.

6.3 CO1 3:

Does the AMASS provide the controls and displays necessary for the controller/supervisor to perform the assigned duties?

6.3.1 COI 3 Results.

The following issues are associated with this COI:

AT Issue 60: (Mediurn) AT Training should include a clear and concise presentation on the AMASS Alert Scenarios.

Resolution: Provide a video demonstrating each AMASS alert scenario on the potential collisions.

Page 21: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

Status - Currently the training does provide slides on each alert scenario, but the OT test lcam members want to see a video demonstration on each AMASS alert scenario (Visual Aid on the general timing and distance of each alert scenario).

A T h u e 7h: (Medium) The AT Users Manual provides too much information for use by a controller on a day-to-day basis.

Resolution: Include a Quick Reference Card to summarize the AMASS commands (in addition to the planned Mini-Display Control Unit (DCU) keypad template.)

Status: A M A S S Work Group has this issue and is in the process of deciding whether or not to develop a quick reference card.

6.4 COI 4:

Does the AMASS provide the controller the capability to inhibitlre-inhibit specific targets from activating alerts?

6.4.1 COI 4 Results.

No concernslissues were expressed with the inhibitlre-inhibit functionality.

6.5 COI 5:

Does the AMASS degrade any other FAA system to which it is interfaced?

6.5.1 COI 5 Results.

The following issues are associated with this COI:

AF Issue 10: (Medium) AMASS is generating a video stitching on the ASDE-3 Display.

Resolution: Modify thc AMASS equipment to resolve the video timing issue.

Status: A screen refresh removes the video stitching; this problem will be fixed (STR has been written).

7. CONCLUSIONS.

The Air Traffic (AT) regression testing closed 30 out of 37 issues with no high issues. The remaining seven open issues contain only three medium and four low priority issues. The medium issues are in section 6. with a current status. The Low issues have been passed onto

Page 22: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

Airway Operational Support (AOS) for future improvements to the Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS).

The Airway Facilities (AF) regression testing closed 17 out of 19 issues with no high issues. The remaining two open issues are classified as medium. The medium issues are in section 6. with a current status.

The Operational Testing on the AMASS Critical Operational Issues (COI) questions have been evaluatedlassessed, resulting in no high issues. The MIAT Operational Test Team members felt that the AMASS systern has shown dramatic improvements and is currently operationally ready.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS.

Implement a System burn in period (-30 days) at each site to verify system adaptatiodoptimization and to verify system performance such as falselnuisance alert rate in each new environment.

AMASS LRU Name: RF Filter Box Assembly, PC Platform extender transmitter and receiver, Fixed hard drive, Removable disk, Voice processor, Amplspcaker, Computer Interface module, PC platform, Modem, Micro-bus interface, Power monitor, Display processor interface card,

-- /OI LRIJ Replacement

Was the LRU removal and replacement procedure described in a suitable and efficient manner?

-- Q2.- AMASS Maintenance Section

Is the AMASS Maintenance section detailed and comprehensive enough to troubleshoot and fault isolate, to the defective L.RIJ?

-- AMASS Maintenance

Section

Is the AMASS Maintenance section detailed and comprehensive enough to assist you in physically locating the L,RUs?

-- Fiiion AMASS Maintenme

Is the AMASS maintenance section detailed and comprehensive enough to assist you in replacing the LRIJs?

Recommendations..

a. Technician #1 b. Technician #2 c. Technician #3

-- a. Redundant and takes a lot for granted. Removal of some items s&h as pins (spring loaded) not very descriptive.

a. Fault flow diagrams and equipment names don't nccessarily follow block equipment names, very hard to follow and find specifics such as equipment name: in tech manual.

b. Fault logic diagram needs to indicate a figure number to return to on Figure 7- See blocks: Perform AC&DC power fault isolation

a. Definitely not, equipment LRIJ names are not consistent throughouttech manu

b. Site selected installation of speakerlamplifier assembly.

--

a. Redundancy. Equipment very hard to access if equipment cabinet is localcd against the wall.

Q5.- Training Effectiveness

Was the training provided to you (system overview, manuals, system), sufficient to use the AMASS system in an operational environment?

--

Q6.- system Setup Training Efkctiveness

Was the training provided to you, sufficient to use the AMASS manuals and system to perform a setup, data collection, or calibration on this AMASS system?

Q7. - AMASS Software User's Manual

Is the AMASS Software User's Manual detailed and comprehensive enough to assist you in the operation and setup of the AMASS systern?

Was the Built-in-test (BIT) and Fault-isolation-test (FIT) sufficient in providing guidance to the faulty LRU?

Q9.- suyport Equipment

Were you informed of the support equipment requirements for AMASS LRU removal and replacement before beginning the maintenance task? (Tools, manuals, etc.)

-- -- a. Still could use OS-2 and Windows 95 overview for I'ile management.

b. Will be attending equipment school in OKC when available.

a. Data collection and clutter map collection not expressed

a. I'm not a so called expert in this phase, so I really can't comment

a. Table 7-1, which was referenced by the flow chart troubleshooting referrcd to MI-Diagnosis. Where is this found?

a. Not necessarily

b. With the PC expander (Rx) broken, the maintenance terminal is blank. You must depend on the fault logic diagram.

a. Absolutely not

-.

Overall System Sometimes it tells you to pull the plug on the 208V. Pulling the plug on the 1 ISVdisabling thc light, which is necded. I Do the tcst tools, AMASS

documcntation, system or procedures allow you to pcrform this LRU removal and replacement in a safe manner?

a All procedures should statc unplugging 208VAC from cabinet Unplugging 1 ISVAC rernovcs just the light (which is needed) and thc receptacles at the base of thc equipment, which may be necded for tcst equipment

b. Procedure has you secure power at the A/C power switch on the front panel. The procedure should have you secure power by unplugging cabinet or secure circuit breaker.

I

Additional comments/suggestions regarding AMASS LRU removal and replacement:

a. Removal and replacement of LRUs are very unsatisfactory in an environment where the AMASS cabinet is located against the wall. lJse of a mirror, body contortions, feeling mcthod and removal of unnecessary LRUs to gain access to the failed unit is very time consuming and can be somewhat destructive.

b. No comments

c. Documentation The AMASS troubleshooting charts did not lead me to the cause in any of the four problems I was given to solve. I was never directed, by the charts, to observe either the RMST AMASS inquiry screens, the AMASS application screen for status, or POST FIT results. In fact, I was led to unnecessary removal and replacement of components several times. Only after loosely interpreting the charts, was I once led to run FIT which gave the correct result (with cxception, see note). Before starting each of the troubleshooting problems, I made quick cursory observations of the ASDE and AMASS screens and was able to correctly determine the probable cause in each case. The charts actually caused cxtcnded outage and I personally would have abandoned their use after the first few moments in favor of my independent observations. There were instances of contradiction as when the AMASS display indicated an L.RU ( D P l m M l ) had passed POST (or in some cases, displayed blank status field) but failed the FIT results returned to the RMST (this being the true condition). Running FIT manually did not remedy the situation nor did replacing D P I D M I as suggested.

Note: Found AMASS TAIU comm fault. Ran FIT, which correctly identified the modem as the defective component. The modem was replaced and o p m t e d normally. Ran FIT again to verify operation. FIT erroneously returned a ,failure with probable causes of I ) serial card, %)-voice processor, and 3)-cnmp i/f. Ran FIT one more time with no failure found.

The 'Table of Contents' is incomplete. Several LRUs (all of the A2 Card Rack Assembly CCAs) were not listed in the removal and replacement procedures. Other maintenance procedures were difficult to find and usually rcquired browsing the List of illustrations for the LRU with the assumption that the rcquired procedure would be located near the figure. Incorporating a simple index in the documcntation would greatly enhance elficiency in field operations.

Hardware Access from the front of the cabinet for the CPIJ, video switch, and modem is nearly impossible. Rcplacemcnt procedures were crude and cumbersome. For example, the video switch must be unsecured and rested on thc unprotected (open cabling and backplane) units below to accommodate CPIJ chassis removal. Cable routing further complicated thc procedures as there was barely enough length to accommodate the re-connection of the cables. These situations can easily contribute to component damage. Re-positioning of the modem to the very top of the rack with the video switch next and the CPU at the lowest available space could elevatc an impossible task to a difficult one Cabling

needs serious attention - especially for 'front access sites only'.

Sofiware The command 'Sysres -AmassJ is only valid while the application is running in 'Operational Mode' but initiating the command at the RMST returns 'System Command Processed' regardless of Amass status. This invalid response appears to occur with all RMST generated commands. A second example would be the command 'Amass -OnlineJ cntered before the FIT results have been returned to the RMST - the command was ignored (unbuffcred) and a misleading 'System Command Processed' message was displayed.

AMASS Maintenance Procedures: Dedicated Clutter Collect, Load recorded log file, Load current log file, Data reduction utilities, Site-specific file back-up procedures

Is the training and AMASS manuals detailed and comprehensive enough to provide you with a functional and operational overview of the AMASS system?

1 AMASS Documentation

Is the AMASS documentation detailed and comprehensive enough to allow you to perform routine maintenance tasks on the AMASS system?

Q3.- AMASS Configuration

Is thc documentation and training of sufficient detail to allow you to perform an operational configuration change? (Workstation mode change, load recorded log file, inject synthetic tracks, etc.)

Q4.- Dedicated Clutter Collect

Is the Dedicated Clutter Collect procedure described in a suitable and appropriate manner?

t Q5 .- Support Equipment

Were you informed of the support equipment requirements for the AMASS maintenance before beginning the maintenance task? (Tools, manuals, etc.)

--

Recommendations/The problem is.. .

- a. Picture with no written procedures

a. No written procedure, though the program seemed user friendly although could no load current log file

-- b. Many references are incorrect. Some of the steps are confusing and the procedure ends before instructing you to return tl~esholds to normal and restoring norrnal operations

Procedures

Is the AMASS maintenance section detailed and comprehensive enough to troubleshoot, isolate, and reconfigme the system upon locating a fault in the Display Processing Unit (DPU) cabinet?

Additional commcnts/suggcstions regarding AMASS Maintenance Procedures:

a. Write procedure (step by step) for loading recorded log file for playback.

b. Write procedure for renaming and saving current log file for access. Consider file management training

I Q6. - AMASS Maintenance

-

-

c. While in 'testcon' mode, all synthetically generated targets and alarms are also present in the tower cab and manual suppression of each display and aural alarms is necessary. While this is an undesirable situation, it is workable but should at least include a cautionary statement in the procedure. There were no detailed contiguous procedures for data playback and required searching the documentation and several empirical iterations to accomplish the basic task. Invoking the 'AMASS MT' mode (amass -disconnect), causes an ASDE fault. No scenario for arrival alarms other than real-time arrival target with stopped synthetic target. There are no site specific file or critical Pile backup procedures. There are no data reduction utilities. Incomplete and incorrect clutter map procedures

Terminal Automation Interface Unit (TAHJ) Comments

Technician a. Most LRUs were more or less obvious to what needed to be removed.

b. The two days spent getting familiar with the TAW were sufficient to get an overall understanding of the functionality. Troubleshooting flow chart (page C-3 of 8) refers to ARTS interface (psirnary/secondary IOP channel). At this location, the radar technicians don't work on the ARTS.

c. OJT training was adequate in scope but should be limited to 2 or 3 persons per session. I was not able to see the displays or controls most of the time because of the number of people gathered in the limited space of the ARTS environment.

The TAW troubleshooting charts were acceptable and I was taken to the correct result each time. Consideration should be given to switching IOP interfaces to aid the process. The modern configuration procedure addresses only 'Idle or Training' and not the 'Online' condition. There were obvious places in the charts where paragraph references would have been very useful.

TAIU Docurnen tation

The flow chart for IOP repeater amplifier needs to have a couple of blocks before the block "Call for assistance.''

Add a block to check ODs for IOP configuration.

Question: Configured ok?

If the answer is Yes - Change to secondary IOP.

Question: Are FPU data blocks now present?

If the answer is Yes - Interchange IOP repeaters to isolate faulty unit.

If the answer is No - ReconPigure ODS correctly.

Question: Are FPU data blocks now present?

If the answer is Yes - the problem is solved.

If the answer is No - then you return to the previous block where the ODS is configured properly and proceed.

If the answer is No after changing to the secondary IOP, this is where the Cal for assistance block goes.

Make very clear whom the technician is to call.

APPENDIX 0

AF OT, AF Regression Comments (June 2000)

Page 164: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield
Page 165: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

AF Comments to the AMASS Manuals

I. Comments to the AMASS TIB

Problem: The format of the AMASS instruction book title page is not clear

Solution: Reverse the title page format a. Move AMASS Addendum to top of page in same bold print as ASDE b. Movc the ASDE where the AMASS is now and use the smaller print.

Problem: TABLB OF CONTENTS - Very hard to find an item quickly. Necd to make the various scctions standout. Also the Technicians were having problems looking up detailed information in the AMASS TIB.

Solution: a. Add an A to Volume numbers i.e. Volume 7A b. Separate Section and Sub-Section Titles with a space at top c. Capitalize Section and Sub-Section Titles d. Use indentation under Section Titles and Sub-Section Titles

Example: 3.0 OPERATION

3.1 POWER SYSTEM UP

3.2 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 3.2.1 Cabinet Controls and Indicators 3.2.2 Operational Display Unit (ODU)

4.0 POST-OPERATION

e. One possible solution: Creating A SEPARATE INDEX VOLUME may help the technicians to find an item quickly.

Problem: No Boot Sequence for AMASS/ASDE in the AMASS TIB Manual could be found. If ASDE is powered down, what is the sequence of events, do you power down AMASS, then power up ASDE first or visa versus. This information is contained in the change pages for the ASDE but should also go into the AMASS TIB. Should this be located in a AMASS TIB flow chart diagram?

Overall Comment: The AMASS TIB's should clearly defined in the procedures when the Technician should use AMASS MT or the ASDE MT with the appropriate commands for AMASS disconnect.

Problem: POWER DOWNIPOWER UP - missing steps in the procedure

Solution: Last step should be added "Reset -Systemn. This is needed to clear the stored faults

Problem: COPY LOG FILES - page 7.10.50 - routine did work, Solution: Add to the first step "FROM ASDE MT TYPE: AMASS -DISCONNECT"

Problem: PL,AYBACK - routine did work

Solution: a. Path must be specified whcre to put it

Page 166: Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) Operational Test… · 2004. 7. 15. · Airport (DTW) on April 20 through 29, 1999. The AT OT testing was conduct at William B. Hartsfield

b. Instructioris do not tell how to get out of playback. Add step to say "go to system - select mode, select operational"

8. Problem - DEDICATED CLUTTER COLLECT - routine did work

Solution: Page 7.10.61, "Menu Path: System> Dedicated Clutter Collect" - the word "system" (AMASS or ASDE?) keeps changing throughout the book. 'This needs to be made uniform. Page 7.10.62 -top sentence - remove "weather conditions" or "off' more than one hour." Be more specific: If there is no reason for field personnel to perform this procedure. Then we should consider stating that because this requires power dowdpower up, it is a big interruption. Command "AMASS-DISCONNECT" causes AMASS f'ault bur there is no fault. There should be a difference noted on the screen between a keyboard command to disconnect and an actual fault that causes a disconnect Page 7.10.62 - AMASS Terminal, under Step 2 - add sub step c. to read "There is a short wait for automatic clutter window to appear." Step 5 should reference Shut Down Procedures, Volume 1, page 1.3.36, paragraph 3.44 Step 6 Rewrite to read "ASDE needs to be returned to facility Area 12 Threshold values and the IF Ttuesholds turned "ON."

9. Problem: COPY BACKUP SITE DATA/ DATABASE FILES - page 7.10.215, When copying the DTW-DATA Folder over to the F drive there was NOT enough capacity.

Solution: Create a separate folder for each the Site Configuration files and the Log Files or write a script file to copy only the site configuration files.

10. Faulted speaker aniplifier, disconnected cable at the top of AMASS cabinet - Maintenance Mode

1 . Problem: Figure 7-1, troubleshooting flow chart assumes that the AMASS is connected to the ASDE RMST after rebooting the AMASS system.

No resolution required: In AMASS Configuration file the followi~ig line was conunented out:

Control-Mode = MT MT = AMASS MT Only RMS = Connect AMASS to ASDE KMS

therefore, the AMASS would not auto connect to the ASDE RMST on reboot. During normal operations, the AMASS will auto connect to the ASDE RMST on reboot.

2. Problem: The technicians thought if you incorporate the "check AMASS BIT results on the ASDE MT Inquiry screen first" into the Troubleshooting flow charts. This could find the problem immediately. Then run the Fit at the ASDE MT.

Solution: FIT runs a more detailed fault testing then BIT provides, solution is to run FIT each time A detailed note in the AMASS TIB Manuals and the training class should stress the use of ~unning FIT instead of relying on BIT.

Side Note - FIT should always be run after a clean boot, ifyou just run FIT (no AMASS Reboot) then FITprogram will use the previous history and may provide the wrong information.

3 . I'roblcm~ Technicians were having a difficult time following the flow charts, whcn ask to rciurn back to Figure 7- 1.

Solution: Incorporate return bubbles into thc Flow Chart 7-1 Example:

Figure 7- 1 Assy Fault Isolation

Message Annear? (Refer to Fig. 7-5, A)

Continue verifying the initialization process. Add Return Bubble: (Refer to Fig.7-1, Return Bubble 1)

1. No procedurc in TAIU TI manual Section 5.2.e to set the system clocks. This has been designated as a certification requirement in (AF Certification Procedures) Section 1, Performance Checks, 4 1 1 .d. 1.

2. Section 5.2.e maintenance checks: reference illustrations/pictures of the various systems when available.

I11 COMMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES 6330.5A

A. TAIU

1. Section 1, Performance Checks, 41 1.d.Ichange paragraph 5.2.a to 5.1. 2. Section 1, Performance Checks, 41 1 .d Ichange paragraph 525 to 528 3 . Section 11, TAIU, 396, change paragraph 525 to 528 4. Paragraph 528, Checking the Altimeter - omit calling ATC to get an altimeter reading from Step 5.

This will be an annoyance to ATC and is unnecessary. The best procedurc is to check the DASI; next best is to check the DEDS for altimeter reading

5. Section I , Performance Checks, 412 i.3, Computer Power Supply - change paragraph 526 to 529 6. Paragraph 529, Procedure should refcr technician to rear of cabinet where power supplies arc located.

The LEDs are on the power supplies.

- Side Note 3/2/2000, DI will be replacing the power supplies in the TAIlJ Cabinet, and the new power supplies have no LEDs.

7. Paragraph 529 Step B, Need to make reference to Illustration on p.15 of 15, Appendix A of the TAIU TI Manual.

8. Section 1, Performance Checks, 414, if available in thc TAIU TI Manual should make reference to Illustration showing grills and filters

B AMASS

1 . Section 1, Performance Checks, 410.b, Change maintenance procedures paragraph from 527 to 530 2 Change Paragraph 530 d Step 1 & 12 to "At an ODU in the air traffic control tower cab, go to ASDE

main Menu, scroll to the AMASS function, activate the AMASS Main menu."

3. Add a statement to Paragraph 530.d Step 11 on "AMASS may not alert i~runediately due to the amount of time required for AMASS to process the closure of a runway."

4. Change Paragraph 530.d Step 21: replace "active" to "open" Change "an X" to "No X" and change "each" to "either".

5. Add Step 22 "To toggle to ASDB Menu - Depress Function - U - Enter, then Scroll to Ex11 - Enter", 6. Section 1, Performance Checks, 412.h, Quarterly - add step 3, "Check fans on PC Platform."

C. ASDE

Page 3-2, paragraph 7 1 1 to 3 17, ASDE Handbook manual paragraph references are correct, but the Sitc Manual has not been updated. Why two references?

D. Appendix 1 Certification Requirements, Table 1

1. SIA Incu~sion Alert Test - change reference paragraph 527 to 530 2. Acronym TSGDT Dcscriptiorl is wrong, needs to be changed to TSSDD throughout table
