Abstract:
Too often successful system development projects fail to leave a legacy of design transfer information, beyond providing access to the physical descriptions of the system. The present authors were fortunate to be part of a long-term research program that culminated in the development of a new Taxi Navigation and Situation Awareness system (T-NASA) for commercial aviation. We are now in the process of developing a multi-media tool aimed at allowing designers, engineers, researchers and students to both learn about TNASA and from T-NASA. Our main goal is to develop an interactive tool that both allows users to find detailed information on the T-NASA system and transfers important “lessons learned”, guidelines and methodologies to designers and engineers.
