successful launch

1 March 2022

The Chair of Air Traffic Concepts started its work on March 1, 2022.

I would like to thank all my colleagues who have accompanied and supported me up to this point. I very much hope that we can continue to make a difference together in the future and work successfully on innovative research and development projects.

At the Chair of Air Transport Concepts, a sustainable, intra-, and interdisciplinary research approach is pursued. Sustainability in this context is the holistic consideration of technical, operational, legal, economic, ecological, and also social aspects of air transport in particular and the overall transport system in general. We look forward to the challenges ahead. Together with scientists from Germany and abroad, we will research complex problems and develop sustainable solutions for the air transport system.

 

Aktuelles

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.
