Abstract

Mención Internacional en el título de doctor The Air Traffic Management (ATM) system in the busiest airspaces in the world is currently being overhauled to deal with multiple capacity, socioeconomic, and environmental challenges. One major pillar of this process is the shift towards [...]

Abstract

In this paper a set of new performance indicators (PIs) aiming to capture the environmental impact of aircraft operations is proposed. Its contribution is threefold: optimal trajectories are computed to compare them with historical trajectories and derive several flight efficiency [...]

Abstract

This paper describes the methodology adopted in designing a quasi-real-time ground-based trajectory optimization tool for use by air traffic control officers. The tool is primarily intended for the optimization of aircraft trajectories during the climb and descent phases in which [...]

Abstract

The work presented in this paper was conducted as part of the CLEAN-FLIGHT project which is financed by the Malta Council for Science and Technology through the National Research and Innovation Programme 2011 (Grant Agreement R&I-2011-021). Traditionally, aircraft descend from cruise [...]

Abstract

International audience; In the near future, air traffic control (ATC) will have to cope with a radical change in the structure of air transport [1]. Apart from the increase in traffic that will push the system to its limits, the insertion of new aerial vehicles such as drones into [...]

Abstract

This paper proposes a collaborative air traffic flow management (ATFM) framework, in the scope of trajectory based operations, aiming to improve the cost-efficiency for airspace users (AUs) when facing ATFM regulations. The framework consists of four modules. The first one involves [...]

Abstract

International audience; 4D Trajectory optimization in dense terminal control area is one of the most challenging problems in air traffic management research. In order to efficiently and robustly land more aircraft at Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), one of the busiest [...]
