Abstract: A method and system of mapping predicted aircraft exhaust plumes within a simulated airport environment is disclosed. An exhaust plume model is generated for a simulated aircraft in a grounded position within the simulated airport environment. The exhaust plume model is generated in response to at least predicted dynamic exhaust plume data for the simulated aircraft. An airport feature map is generated for the simulated airport environment, the airport feature map comprising a digital model of the simulated airport environment. The exhaust plume model for the simulated airport in the grounded position is superimposed onto the airport feature map to display a predicted exhaust plume on a computer display. Thereafter the predicted exhaust plume is analyzed to predict exhaust plume hazard zones within the simulated airport environment.

Abstract: A mobility management system and a traditional telecommunication switching system provide telecommunication terminal features by the mobility management system executing a software architecture that utilizes a unique terminal management application for each type of wireless terminal and a unique terminal emulator application for each type of telecommunication link that interconnects the mobility management system to the telecommunication switching system. There is an individually assigned telecommunication link for each wireless terminal. The terminal management applications and the terminal emulator applications communicate utilizing an internal message protocol. In response to a wireless terminal requesting actuation of a feature, a terminal management application converts that request into the required internal protocol messages and transmits the internal protocol messages to the terminal emulator application that controls the telecommunication link assigned to the wireless terminal.
