The process of creating simulations is (not only) very time-consuming, challenging in terms of input value processing (system characteristics) and difficult for proper system identification and configuration. Airports usually deal only with operational simulations when they are creating simulation models because of the time and economical reasons. Such models are developed in order to determine the capacity demand and verify appropriate terminal processes scenarios for specific terminals. Airports don't give sufficient attention to a scientific potential. The proposed project offers an extension of possible solutions of the given issue in current terminal process analysis and defining the critical elements of the process. The examination scope of view doesn't need to be limited solely to operational aspects. It is possible to deal with the modelling of various options for solving the issue. These for example include research on the influence of different groups of passengers on check-in process efficiency, the impact of passenger knowledge, etc. After the basic simulation is created it is possible to design and validate possibilities of influencing and controlling the passengers flow in order to increase efficiency and maintain a high level of service quality. These include the usability modelling of virtual queuing theory (some passengers are preferred at security before passengers from other flights depending on the time before departure), evaluation the impact of the introduction of specialized security checkpoints for groups of passengers with different (significantly longer) time of screening, etc. The possibility of impact assessment of new technologies and procedures (and their designing with respect to operational efficiency) is very actual nowadays.

The project is aimed at establishment of basic model allowing advanced evaluation and analysis of safety performance in time. In nowadays aviation, safety performance is an element subjected to efforts for its effective quantification. Expressing the safety performance in time represents a signal which is possible to analyse similarly as any other sensorial signal (picked up from speedometers, navigational systems etc.) utilizing current mathematical modelling. This basic model, however, will be focused on the so called soft data (data about events, operational data etc.) which are modern phenomenon and which comprise significant part of the domain of safety. In aviation, air navigation service providers have the majority of relevant data available, and at the same time, they have the most advanced safety management systems (SMS). Thus such a model application appears to be most feasible for them. The model will provide safety management with brand-new type of safety analysis which should facilitate decision process and priority settings. It will be based upon most appropriate mathematical mechanism selection which will serve for identification of ways for safety performance evaluation in time.

Předmětem veřejné zakázky ve výzkumu, vývoji a inovacích je získání návrhu řešení projektu (dle specifikace níže) jako nabídky na služby v aplikovaném výzkumu, vývoji nebo inovacích v Programu veřejných zakázek ve výzkumu, experimentálním vývoji a inovacích pro potřeby státní správy „BETA“. Cílem projektu je návrh na zavedení a udržení národního systému řízení bezpečnostní výkonnosti a provozní bezpečnosti pomocí výkonností organizací působících v civilním letectví formou funkčního systému jako software, který umožní následné definování formálních procedur pro práci s bezpečnostními daty. Cílem je také vyšší efektivnost auditních činností a dozorových činností resortu dopravy, zejména Úřadu civilního letectví („ÚCL“) v oblasti bezpečnostní výkonnosti organizací působících v civilním letectví. Vedlejším výstupem z vyhodnocení jsou dále poznatky pro potřebu Ministerstva dopravy a dalších konečných uživatelů jako například návrh nelegislativních úprav, které mohou odpovídat výsledkům promítnutým do směrnic a předpisů nelegislativní povahy závazných v rámci kompetence Ministerstva dopravy a ÚCL. Na základě analýz je také možné promítnutí zjištění do schválených strategických a koncepčních dokumentů např. v podobě publikování SSP (Státního programu provozní bezpečnosti) a SSp (státního plánu provozní bezpečnosti).

Increasing of safety is a proces that must be performed continuously. The basic approach is to eliminate the risk factors. The start of the elimination of these factors is the implementation of a functioning safety management system in aviation organizations. This obligation arises for all aviation organizations with new legislation which came into force in late 2013. But only the introduction of safety management system is not enough. It is necessary to watch out the procedures, evaluate and improve them and thanks to this increase the efficiency of aviation. One of the tools for successful functioning of safety management system is a system of safety indicators by which it is possible to quantitatively determine the level of safety. In this project we focuses at Risk based indicators, which are based on the idea of measuring the change in the overall risk of the operation that depends on the change in the risks of sub-processes. We will therefore analyze the possibility of creating, using and evaluating the benefits of risk based indicators implementation and their application to real traffic.

The entire aviation is increasingly dependent on good economic decisions when even a small mistake can mean the end of the airline company. From this point of view, small aviation is in even worse situation, while there are not large numbers of passengers, or large volume of cargo into which could be costs split. At present, however, the supervising authorities, together with other relevant governmental agencies and international organizations starting to look up to small aviation. The basis for the promotion and development of general aviation must be an effort to reduce costs for both important aviation stakeholders - aerodrome operators and aircraft operators. Opportunity to meet this support arises thanks to the use of constantly evolving GNSS systems, which can provide cost savings to the system infrastructure approach. In this project we focus on providing additional cost savings by proposing a new type of approach to land for small aerodromes that will use GNSS signal for the approach. This approach must be created by adapting existing types of approach and must ensure two basic conditions. The first one is to have larger area of implementation (at more aerodromes) than any of currently existing types of approach and the other one is to ensure at least the same level of safety.

One important area of aviation, which is not unfortunately adequately secured with rules, is the post of Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS). These services are an integral part of the uncontrolled aerodromes. AFIS ensure safety by providing information services. Although it is an uncontrolled aerodrome, where flies small and private aircrafts, there is, especially in nice weather, heavy traffic. Information service, however, can only be provided for aircraft known to AFIS officer. Here we encounter the problem of unknown traffic, about which is AFIS not informed and cannot further inform surrounding aircrafts, which increases the risk of collision. Introduction of a new system for AFIS can increase operational safety on aerodrome. In this project we focus on all aerodromes with AFIS, for which it will be possible to assess the operational safety, using the developed methodology for assessing the impact of AFIS unit on safety at small aerodromes.

Safety is now considered as the highest priority in aviation. New approach is based on perception of safety as a process that has the same importance as any other process in aviation organization. It helps significantly to achieve operational objectives associated with provision of services by all aviation stakeholders. Implementation of safety management ensures aviation organizations in process of continual improvement. In this project we focus on small international airports which need to implement new operation rules according to requirements of EU as well as current safety conditions. Our research will help airports to meet required safety standards. It will improve safety process procedures linked to that part of aviation, which is currently most vulnerable to emergence of safety incidents. The basis of this part of research is to create methodology of safety management and safety indicators leading to quantitative measurement of safety. In case of security our research aims at
