TBFM Mapping

The ATD-2 Poject delivered its final research transition package and was concluded on September 30, 2021. This page is being retained for reference and historical purposes, but the content is no longer being updated.

Overview

TBFM messages consumed from FAA SWIM are first sent to the TBFM XML Processor. The parser takes the TBFM messages received from SWIM and appends additional information into the message. The TBFM message is then forwarded to the Fuser where the data is mapped directly into the common Fuser flight object. No intermediary format is used for TBFM as it is for TFMS and STDDS. Below is a list of attributes which are appended to TBFM messages by the TBFM XML Processor prior to being forwarded to the Fuser.

Attributes Added by TBFM XML Processor:

gufi
envelopeSource
envelopeTime
timestampSourceReceive
timestampSourceProcess
degradedStatus
syncMessage
newFlightPlanStd
newFlightPlanEtm
securityLevel

TBFM SWIM Format to Fuser Format Mapping

The table below contains the mapping of FAA SWIM TBFM data source (right column) into the Fuser database / common format (left column). TBFM replaced a system named "TMA" which is why the TBFM attributes start with "tmaType".
