IEMID: A mobile multi-information display for surveillance data

This paper describes the mobile application that has been developed at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Next-Generation ERAU Applied Research (NEAR) Laboratory. ERAU Multi Information Display (EMID) displays surveillance information based on Automatic dependency Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) standards used in FAA Next-Generation Air-Traffic Management (ATM). The initial version of the EMID was developed at the request of the ERAU flight department, for the purpose of monitoring the university fleet of over 75 ADS-B equipped aircraft. The later version of the EMID had incorporated additional functionalities to provide a platform for test and evaluation of new concepts in ATM and National Airspace (NAS) Usage.
