TAAMS

Introduction To AMS

For most businesses, today's challenges lie in the ability to respond to the growing requirements of the many departments for operational, statistical and financial information.

More and more Airports and Air Traffic Control Units are reassessing their Information Technology Strategy and how to support their mission critical issues of the 1990's to ensure that they have in place solutions that will carry into the 2000's.

Many Airports and ATC Units are already moving towards open systems where information can be accessed and shared across a multitude of disparate hardware systems, operating systems and networks.

Senior management realize that in order for different departments contained within an airport to work in harmony, they must link and integrate their resources, people, equipment, facilities and information.

Travsys Int has recognized this need and has developed a "AIRPORT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM" (TAAMS). This system allows different departments to enter and share the information that modern airports require on a day to day basis.

Airport Landing Dues Information System (ALDIS)

ALDIS is the core system of the " Airport Management System".

The ALDIS software provides any airport, international, regional or local with the following functions:

• Captured movement data from the air traffic control and apron control including ground service. Handling agent’s data is validated against a number of static databases and rules to ensure that the movement data is as accurate as possible to prevent further errors and delays occurring further along the processing cycle.
  
• The system provides audit reports to allow any remaining inconsistencies or omissions in the movement data to be corrected. Once these have been corrected the data is processed to calculate the charges applicable.
  
• The charge calculation and invoicing process is determined by three factors:

1. Whether the movement was by cash.
2. An account operator.
3. The invoice frequency.

• The charging parameter is user maintainable.
  
• When the charges have been calculated the invoicing process is an automatic function run on a regular basis.
  
• The invoicing process also generates a work file audit list of transactions for updating a ledger suite.
  
• The ALDIS system does not require a ledger system but will interface to a number of popular accounting packages.
  
• The ALDIS software contains a full range of statistical and financial reports available both on screen and as printed copy.
  
• An easy to use report generator is available.
  
• Export facilities to modeling and graphical packages.

Air Traffic Control Administration System (ATCAS)

ATCAS is based on a modular design format. It provides an air traffic control unit in any airport, international, regional or local with the following functions:-

•  Receptive flight plan storage and retrieval. 
• Automation of addresses on flight plans.
• Automatic printing of flight strips including symbols.
• Interface to dynamic display system of all aircraft movements.
• Weather display. 
• Interface to overflight billing system.
• Interface to the flight information display system. (FIDS)
• Interface to apron control system. (RAMP)
• Interface to handling/airline agent system. (HAS)

From the information being received, transmitted and entered a dynamic display can be produced showing all movements that will happen on any given day which will then be updated constantly as events occur.

This information can be shared with various other airport departments and systems installed within an airport.

Flight Information Display System (FIDS)

The FIDS module provides any airport, international, regional or local with the following functions:

• 1024x768 VGA display up to 29 inches screen size.
  
• Interface to Flap Boards of any make is possible.
  
• Viewing of flight information on any PC on the airport Interanet.
  
• Automated upload to Internet Web Site.
  
• Output to Teletext.
  
• Multi language statuses (Farsi, English, Arabic).
  
• Hot standby backup system if main server is unserviceable.
  
• Full schedule maintenance.
  
• Turn round flight matching.
  
• Remote Test & Maintenance tools for display devices.
  
• Interface to the apron management system. (RAMP)
  
• Interface to the ground services system. (GSS)
  
• Interface to handling/airline system. (HAS)
  
• Interface to airport landing dues information system. (ALDIS)
