Co-Author : Claire Leleu Abstract The EEC initiated a study in 2007, on request of the Regulatory Unit, with the objective to investigate a possible link between airspace complexity and the applicability of implementing rules. The objectives of this study were: - to investigate if it is possible to determine airspace complexity criteria/indicators for selecting [...]
AENA and its partners ISA Software and INDRA have succesfully completed their Real-Time Simulation trials to evaluate dynamic re-sectorisation concepts supported by the ISA Software/INDRA developed Enhanced Traffic-Load Monitor decision support tool. The simulation was carried out over five days at the Sevilla Air Traffic Control facility in the scope of the EU 5th Framework Gate-to-Gate analysis [...]
Co-Author : Abderrazak Tibichte Abstract The Future ATM Profile (FAP) is a joint EEC/HQ activity with the objective to project ATM performance indicators into the future. This report describes the first results of the FAP feasibility study. It gives examples of performance indication, discusses risks and demonstrates how the ATM system - its performance and [...]
Version 2 of the FAA SIM-C collaborative ATM modelling and prototyping platform has been delivered to the ISA Software LLC offices in central Washington D.C. today. The modelling platform provides a fully functional model of a net-centric ATM architecture, and includes components and intelligent modelling agents in support of System-Wide Information Management (SWIM), Cooperative Air Traffic Flow [...]
In Washington D.C. on April 5th 2005, FAA announced the award of the REAPS Contract Valued at $35 Million Over Five Years to the consortium led by CSSI, Inc. and including ISA Software LLC. Through the Research, Engineering, Analysis and Policy Support (REAPS) contract, the consortium will provide high-level support to FAA’s Office of Operations Planning System [...]
A joint ISA Software/EUROCONTROL/FAA paper on Flight Efficiency has been accepted to the 6th USA/Europe Seminar on ATM Research & Development taking place in Baltimore, June 27-30, 2005. Use the following link to read the abstract: Flight Efficiency Studies in Europe and the United States.
The 1st International Conference on Research in Air Transportation - ICRAT 2004, which will be held in Zilina on 22-24 November 2004, accepted one paper of ISA Software staff member Tarja Kettunen and one paper of ENVISA staff member Ivan de Lépinay. The topics are, respectively, ‘Airport Surface Operations Analysis’ in support of the Federal Aviation Administration [...]
The UK Government's EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Scienses Research Council) are funding a three-year research programme on Robust Conflict Detection and Resolution Taking Into Account Flight Data Uncertainty. This research is headed by the Imperial College Center for Transport Studies (CTS) in London, with support from NATS UK, EUROCONTROL HQ Brussels, Glasgow University, and ISA Software Ltd. R&D topics [...]
This report introduces a number of transitory steps necessary to progress towards the production of enhanced flight efficiency indicators. Three issues were addressed. The first was the replication of existing indicators to test their sensitivity to different assumptions and to the evolution of measurement tools. The second was the compilation of results for airport pairs, [...]
Co-Author : Tarja Kettunen Abstract This report presents the result of a study to explore ways of progressing towards ‘enhanced’ air traffic management (ATM) flight efficiency indicators. The indicators will allow the performance of the environment related efficiency of the ATM system to be monitored and to generate meaningful environmental impact assessments through continuous monitoring [...]
