The Effectiveness and Quality of Situational Management Software for Automated Dispatching of Air Transport Spatial Processes
Abstract
Introduction: The growing intensification of traffic flows and the faster growth of the demand for automation of control centers lead to the empirical nature of the implementation of the principles and situational management tools used in the construction of automated dispatching systems for spatial processes in air transport. Therefore, we have to resolve the objective contradiction between the need to improve the quality of the situational management software on the base of a holistic scientific and methodological approach, and the empirical nature of this process at the moment. Purpose: The goal is to identify the ways to resolve the formulated contradiction between the objective need to improve the software quality and the empirical nature of the situational management process. Results: We have formulated the problems of increasing the effectiveness of situational management software systems. This should be considered a basic factor in improving the quality of automated dispatching systems for spatial processes in air transport. This fact is determined by the significant growth of the intellectual and administrative load on the air traffic controllers. The ways to improve the effectiveness are the methods of consistent qualimetric evaluation, analysis and upgrading of the software during its development, starting from the logical-mathematical formulation down to the usage. The novelty of our approach is that it allows you to build up the available methodological tools for the improvement of scheduling software systems by compiling qualimetric methods of enhancing their effectiveness, including all the components, on the base of the principles of situational management. We have developed a system of requirements for a typical architecture of software systems of situational management of spatial processes for automated air transport dispatching systems. Practical relevance: The proposed systemological formulation of the problem of developing integrated methodological tools can significantly improve the process of assessing and raising the quality of software for automated systems of spatial process dispatching. It became possible due to the introduction of the instruments which rationalize the efforts of the software developers on the base of situational management. As a consequence, this will lead to the reduction of the labor costs for the development of this software (average design time for a software module implementing a sample application function is reduced by 12-16%).Published
