At larger U.S. airports, aircraft traffic congestion in and around ramp-area alleyways can lead to inefficiencies in the movement of aircraft to and from the movement area. This inefficiency is reflected both in reduced on-time performance and in unnecessary taxi delay that leads to higher airline operating costs and increased environmental impacts resulting from fuel-burn emissions. For example, poor ramp traffic coordination can lead to an aircraft blocking an arrival's access to an assigned gate or a critical alleyway, requiring the arrival either to wait for the blockage to clear or to be directed to another gate.

In this paper, we present insights into the test and evaluation of Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) for height monitoring and surveillance. Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) can use the methods and results we present to make better decisions when planning, operating and evaluating WAM systems. In addition, the measurement and detection methods we describe here can be applied to a variety of networked surveillance systems.

The volcanic eruption that occurred in Iceland in April 2010 (the Eyjafjallajökull eruption) had an adversely impact on aviation in Europe. This event then spurred aviation key actors into action, so leading experts gathered up to, firstly, define issues that had to be solved and, secondly, to try to prepare aviation for the eventual volcanic ash event in future. The progress was already noticeable just a year later (in May 2011), when another volcanic eruption occurred in Iceland (the Grimsvötn eruption). At that time the impact on aviation was already much lower than in 2010. These days, we witness the development process in information exchange area and regulations area in Europe. EUROCONTROL established a new tool called EVITA which provides a better data exchange process in a volcanic ash event and civil aviation authorities among Europe developed a new regulation approach providing the possibility for airlines to be the part of the decision making process concerning the question whether to fly or not in the contaminated airspace. But is there a possibility to have an improvement in other areas, too? Can we progress towards the process of forecasting movements of an ash-cloud more precisely and using that information the improvement of operational efficiency while maintaining safety in a crisis period? What are the tools that we need for this purpose? Institute of Flight Guidance (DLR - German Aerospace Center) is currently working on a development of a new volcanic ash event concept in order to try to answer those questions. This concept is called “pilot in-charge” and connote that the role of the decision maker whether to fly or not should be assigned to a pilot. Development of this concept is at the end of its first phase (the objective and assessment of technical possibilities to achieve it are established). The final phase should be a development of FMS (back-up support system for pilots when there is a presence of an ash-cloud in the air) that is going to be able of proposing, planning and optimizing a flight path in-flight.

Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) will rely on “negotiated flight paths” to satisfy objectives of both individual users (expressed through their user preferred trajectories) and the whole system in an equitable and efficient manner to the fullest extent possible. Though there exist intensive research activities for in-flight, tactical trajectory coordination, relatively little work has been done on strategic pre-departure trajectory coordination. Herein, we focus on oceanic pre-departure coordination where there is often sufficient time in FAA controlled airspace to make adjustments to trajectories and smaller portions of the flight occur in the domestic environment where strategic trajectory coordination may be further away. The strategic nature of this coordination considers the potential contention along the entire flight time, accommodating random departure delay and planned changes through the pre-departure four-dimensional (4D) stochastic trajectory model. A series of capabilities will be required to allow a negotiation of flight profiles. The existing capability, the Dynamic Oceanic Track System Plus (DOTS Plus), only de-conflicts trajectory conflicts at the oceanic entry points without explicitly addressing the conflicts between aircraft trajectories beyond the oceanic entry points. We explore levels of coordination with enhanced insight for both the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) and the airspace user. Based on the pre-departure 4D stochastic models previously developed, this paper aims to propose a framework and algorithms for storing data for congestion depiction, for creating a pre-departure plan, and for alerting users when a change in situation allows a previously denied request to be satisfied. Each of these capabilities takes into account potential contention and induced cost along the entire flight time of each individual trajectory.

As part of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) activities, it is envisaged that the System Wide Information Management (SWIM) program will provide key functionality allowing for a network enabled agile National Air Space (NAS). SWIM seeks to provision Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based capabilities for various NAS programs, thus allowing various applications and programs (e.g., Aeronautical Information Management (AIM), NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW)) to provide and consume data through information services made transparent with respect to the underlying platform implementation.
