Self-organized free-flight arrival for urban air mobility

Urban air mobility is an innovative mode of transportation in which electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles operate between nodes called vertiports. We outline a self-organized vertiport arrival system based on deep reinforcement learning.

TRC-30 Conference

At the conference in emerging technologies in transportation systems we presented research results on two research areas: smart aircraft cabin and safety in urban air mobility.

A framework for dynamic air traffic management

Presentation of a Master Thesis on the development of an algorithm for dynamic obstacle avoidance based on convex hull geometry.

Complexity metrics for moving sectors

This study establishes a foundation for determining the complexity of moving sectors, a key element of efficient flow-centric air traffic flow management. We apply complexity metrics for moving sectors derived from simulated air traffic of the Singapore FIR.

investigating moving sectors and complexity metrics in Japanese airspace

This study applies three developed complexity metrics to the Japanese sector-based airspace, which serves as a benchmark for the evaluation of moving sectors. Our results indicate that moving sectors could reduce peak loads by aggregating homogeneous traffic flows.

DATS Workshop on Digital Air Traffic Services

We presented our research results at the DATS Workshop on Digital Air Traffic Services, addressing "Moving Metrics: How to Evaluate Complex Traffic Scenarios".

High-fidelity digital twin for ground operations

Delays deriving from airport ground operations at the aircraft stand possess the capacity to propagate and consequently escalate across the intricate air traffic network. This knock-on effect often exerts a significant detrimental influence on downstream flights and airports.

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.

Positioning systems in connected aircraft cabins

This paper delves into the rising use of location-aware radio communication systems to streamline operational processes. We propose a hybrid deterministic and stochastic simulation approach, incorporating model-based ray-tracing and empirical residual simulation.
