airspace analysis

1 March 2022

The structure of current airspaces dictates the operations to be carried out within them. Especially against the background of the introduction of free-route concepts, the extent to which inflexible airspace concepts are still capable of efficiently managing air traffic must be critically questioned. For the implementation of dynamic sectorization, the existing key figures for efficiency assessment must be challenged and adapted. Using actual traffic data, current key figures must be applied, and identified deficits addressed by newly developed key figures. These indicators can relate to many dimensions, e.g. space, time, ecology, or economy.

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.
