Guidelines for Verification and Validation of Aerodrome Mapping Databases
(AMDB) Aerodrome Surface Routing Networks (ASRN) for Routing Applications
Description / Abstract:
This document is a guidance material on the concepts, methods,
and criteria for verification and validation of Aerodrome Surface
Routing Network (ASRN). The ASRN of an Aerodrome Mapping Database
(AMDB) is a connected network defined by node and edge features
that support taxi routing functions (e.g. D-Taxi) and other
applications (e.g the ones developed within SESAR and NextGen).
Such applications contribute to situational awareness as well as
safety, capacity and efficiency of operations. This guidance
material provides a framework for verification and validation
activities of ASRN, the objective being to ensure the consistency
of the ASRN for multiple users (both on the ground and
onboard).
