Traduction de «Signalling traffic flow control » (Anglais → Français) :

the use of standardised information flows or traffic interfaces between the relevant traffic information/control centres and different stakeholders.

(2) At its Extraordinary Meeting in Lisbon on 23 and 24 March 2000, the European Council called on the Commission to put forward proposals on airspace management, air traffic control and air traffic flow management, based on the work of the High Level Group on the single European sky set up by the Commission.

The European Commission has therefore proposed a series of measures which will allow the European network to cope with increasing pressure: - creation of a centralized air flow management system to coordinate the existing independent units - technical harmonisation to improve communication, technical compatibility and training - efforts by member states to allow some of the airspace reserved for military purposes to be made available for civilian use - Community coordination of airport infrastructure planning with possibility of Community financial support and a better dialogue between airports and their users - research into the develop ...[+++]ment of a fully integrated and automated system for air traffic management throughout European air space Improving the traffic flow A centralised air traffic management system for European airspace is essential, in the view of the Commission, since the present network of national air traffic control centres is ill-suited to managing the growing volume of traffic.

- CONGESTION AND CRISIS IN AIR TRAFFIC IN EUROPE - COUNCIL RESOLUTION "THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Considering that air traffic management is of vital importance for the development of European air transport; Considering that air transport has a key role to play in economic development and strengthening social cohesion, providing swift and efficient links between regions and in particular in making peripheral and island regions accessible; Considering that air traffic congestion imposes serious losses and inconvenience both for airlines and creates economic obstacles for air traffic within the European Union, while causing incon ...[+++]venience for users in general; Considering that such congestion is aggravated seasonally and for given traffic flows and that saturation of the air space and reduction of available capacity are two of the primary causes of this congestion; Considering that an unexpected or unplanned loss of civil air traffic control capacity over an extended period can lead to a crisis; Considering that better utilization of available capacity could reduce congestion and prove useful in cutting costs; Considering that the Council, in its Resolution 89/C189/02 of 18 July 1989 and in its conclusions of 29 March 1990 and 7 December 1992, addressed air traffic system capacity problems, calling for an effort to make progress towards their possible solution; Considering that Directive 93/65 of 19 July 1993 dealt with the definition and utilization of compatible technical specifications for the procurement of air-traffic-management equipment and systems; Considering the communication from the Commission on congestion and crisis in air traffic presented to the Council on 4 September 1995; Considering the vital role in air traffic management and organization played by such international organizations as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the European Civil Aviation Commission (ECAC) and the European Organization for the Safety of Air ...

To this end the Commission recommends: - adopting a road traffic policy, measures to manage traffic flows and combat congestion (signalling, development of telematic equipment) and a common method for evaluating the environmental impact of road projects; - ensuring the connection of national networks by drawing up a list of motorway missing links to be completed in the next few years, 40% of which are to be found in the outlying Member States.

3. There should be better planning of traffic flows. Air traffic control constraints should be more fully integrated in the allocation of airport slots.
