Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air traffic monitoring services, and in particular relates to an air traffic monitoring service online simulation training system and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Air traffic surveillance (ATS) utilizes various technologies to monitor aircraft in flight to ensure flight safety. This service is a crucial component of air traffic management. Using radar systems (such as primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance radar (SSR)) and automatic dependent surveillance (ADS), which provide real-time information on aircraft position, altitude, and speed, air traffic controllers can accurately monitor air traffic conditions, effectively manage flight paths, and issue various control instructions promptly, accurately, and efficiently to avoid flight conflicts and ensure flight safety.

[0003] Air traffic surveillance is a form of air traffic control provided by air traffic controllers to aircraft pilots (pilots). Air traffic controllers' abilities directly impact the efficiency of surveillance services and flight safety. Air traffic control is a highly practical skill, and because it directly impacts flight safety, air traffic controllers must undergo repeated practice through simulation training before taking up their posts. Only after passing assessments and meeting the required requirements can they take up their posts. Furthermore, after taking up their posts, air traffic controllers are required to continuously improve and strengthen their air traffic control capabilities through simulation training to cope with complex and ever-changing air traffic control scenarios. Therefore, simulation training for air traffic controllers, both before and during their tenure, is crucial. This simulation training requires the use of appropriate air traffic control simulation systems.

[0004] Existing air traffic control simulation systems are mostly simulators, typically housed in physical computer rooms equipped with appropriate simulation equipment, including radar screens, communication systems, and control consoles, designed to recreate the air traffic control working environment as realistically as possible. Under the guidance of a traffic control instructor, trainees use simulators to practice various air traffic control operations, such as flight guidance, conflict resolution, and emergency response. This training method provides an intuitive operating experience and a relatively realistic visual and auditory experience, helping trainees better understand and master air traffic control skills. Both universities offering air traffic control programs and air traffic control units have their own air traffic control simulator laboratories. Air traffic control students and air traffic controllers undergo simulation training in these labs to enhance their air traffic control skills.

[0005] Therefore, the problems existing in the prior art are: 1. High construction costs and limited scale. The high cost of building a control simulator is primarily due to technical complexity, customization requirements, high-performance hardware and software, training and maintenance costs, and continuous technical upgrades and iterations. These factors combine to make the construction of a control simulator a complex and expensive undertaking, limiting its scale.

[0006] 2. Site limitations and inflexible use. Traffic control simulators typically require a large physical space and specialized infrastructure to operate, such as dedicated simulation rooms, high-performance computers, and large-screen display systems. Limited by geographic location and available resources, traffic control simulators are typically only available at fixed locations and times, and cannot be accessed anywhere, resulting in inconvenience.

[0007] 3. Resource intensive, limiting training capacity. Simulator operation requires significant physical space and human resources. Besides the space occupied by the simulator itself, supporting facilities such as classrooms and rest areas are also required. Furthermore, each training session requires the assistance of professional instructors, which, to a certain extent, limits the number of participants. Summary of the Invention
