DATIS/DVOLMET

The Integrated ATIS/D-ATIS System by SISDATA automates the delivery of meteorological and operational aerodrome information to arriving and departing aircraft via high-quality voice reports and digital messages over the Ground-Air network. ​

■ Supporting ATIS, D-ATIS, VOLMET, and D-VOLMET services, the system ensures uninterrupted operation with “hot backup” servers, effectively reducing controller workload and enhancing safety.

■ The system can be upgradeable to fully integrated airport system

■ Two kinds of D-ATIS System can be configured combined or separately for Arrival and Departure service in same application. (arrival, departure or arrival and departure)

■ Full Dual Redundant equipment's and Network (LAN) architecture.

■ Automatic, manual or semi-automated mode

■ Data input correction and check in manual mode

■ Flexible Architecture, Open system design allows for easy integration and scalability.

■ Client/server architecture

■ Automated Processing, Handles METAR, SPECI, MET REPORT, SPECIAL, SIGMET, GRF SNOWTAM, and TAF messages.

■ Multiple Operator Positions, Supports various working positions for flexibility.

■ Automatic switch over 

■ Provides reports through telephone lines.

■ The system is flexible and easily configurable

■ The System capable of receiving runway condition report (RCR) data according to the new Global Reporting Format (GRF)

​

Logger

■ Records, username events, all received /incoming meteorological details and D-ATIS/D-VOLMET Message with error status, data and UTC time meaning History.

■ Voice recording of ATIS/VOLMET messages in wav, mp3 or any format.  Play and listen the recorded voice messages.

■ Records and Reports, all Downlink/Uplink events with aircrafts

■ Logs all the alarms and status of the systems.

■ Search, Review and/or print previously stored data by date and time.

 

Interconnecting

■ The system is interfaced with DSP (Sita, Arinc) and VDL to provide data link communication with aircraft (D-ATIS/DVOLMET).

■ ED-137 Interoperability Standards for ATM Components

■ Interfaced with AWOS, AFTN, AMHS, DCL/EFS, ATC System, Bird or A-SMGCS (Ground) Radar, GPS Clock (NTP)

 

User HMI

■ The System will be user friendly and will be operated via a windows style point-and-click menu-driven user interface

■ Display current D-ATIS/D-VOLMET Message

■ Display Sunset/Sunrise time and automatic switch between day mode (light colors) and night mode (dark colors) 

■ User-friendly graphical interface for the supervision, administration and operation of the system

■ Display current operational and updated meteorological information and alarms.

■ Display the type of the operational mode into the status bar (Automatic or manual)

■ Word Correction Check

■ Management of the 3 runways (Right-Left-Center) or more

■ Play back, verify and edit data prior to broadcasting

■ Manual interruption

■ The broadcast will be continuous and repetitive.

■ Selectable multiple related Airports and FIR for broadcast and filter out meteorological data of undesignated airports. 

 

Alarm and Error Management

■ In any faulty, automatic switch over from main to standby

■ Display Warning related with all the meteorological data errors into the alarm window with voice.

■ Display Warning related with all the Approach and operations errors into the alarm window with voice.

■ If the meteorological information is not updated from meteorological data source, appear warning into the alarm window for update delay with voice warning

■ In case of alarm or error, a beep or speech sound is played from all terminals logged into the system and D-ATIS/D-VOLMET system’s windows displays an error.

■ Three type classification of alarms; Fatal, Critical and Warning. Fatal errors is displayed with acoustic alarm

 

Control Monitoring System (CMS)

■ Integral monitoring and control function, which shall display the connection situation and status of the system

■ Display D-ATIS/D-VOLMET System if it is under operational or not

■ Capable to be reconfigured by the CMS user

■ Changeover from main to standby

■ Available to control D-ATIS/DVOLMET Systems and related peripheral interfaces

■ Display faulty components and full redundant network status of the system

■ Remote Control

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Settings

■ The system will be customized for specific needs, and it will be capable to be reconfigured by the user if the need arises.

■ Changeable speech rate and type of voice (male, female)

Changeable day or night or automatic day/night mode

■ Enable, disable and configuration of external interfaces (AWOS, AFTN, DCL, Bird Radar, Wind Shear System, A-SMGCS, etc.

■ New user creation and encryption, voice recording and listening recorded audio features are available
