ICRAT conference - tutorials

24 June 2022

The International Conference on Research in Air Transportation (ICRAT) is held every two years, alternating with the USA/EUROPE ATM R&D Seminar. Young scientists are given the opportunity to present their research in the field of air transportation, expand their professional network, and to gain new insights and inspiration.

As Tutorial Chair, Prof. Schultz was able to attract scientists from various international research institutions to share their knowledge and experience in tutorials.

debris hazard corridor for air/ space traffic management

The growing use of spacecraft and drones is straining traditional airspace management and requiring new dynamic strategies, such as DDHC, to balance safety and minimize air traffic disruptions.

investigation of complexity in moving sectors

Evaluation of complexity metrics for moving sectors calculated from simulated air traffic of the Singapore FIR.

student project

Presentation of a project work on the coupling of different modules for trajectory calculation (Java, Python, MySQL, RabbitMQ).

efficiency assessment in European ATM

We used different types of Data Envelopment Analysis to evaluate and compare the performance of European ANSPs and to develop and suggest an appropriate benchmarking approach.

time-varying queuing network for ASEAN free-route airspace

A time-varying queuing network was modeled and applied to ASEAN free-route airspace. The model shows a 45% reduction in potential conflicts.

introduction of moving sectors

Moving sectors are introduced to improve airspace management by efficiently aligning traffic flows and grouping flights using realistic traffic patterns from the Singapore FIR.

Flow-centric air traffic control

Creating traffic flows that minimize congestion (hot spots) and enable flow-centric operations is important for future air traffic control.
