ATM Excellent science and outreach for multimodality and passenger experience

Flightpath 2050, Europe’s long-term vision document on aviation research, has set the goal that 90% of travellers within Europe should be able to complete their journey, door-to-door (D2D), within 4 hours by 2050. The challenge is to develop potential innovative and breakthrough solutions to meet this goal. The role of ATM in the door-to-door chain of a passenger’s journey may seem small, but the punctuality of flights, and passengers’ perception of flying, is highly dependent on the smooth functioning of the entire journey. Considering ATM to be an integrated part of an intermodal transport system, the proposed solutions will make it possible to share data between transport modes and to collaborate better to optimise the performance of both the overall transport system and the D2D journey.

The SESAR 3 JU has identified the following innovative research elements that could be used to meet the challenge described above and achieve the expected outcomes. The list is not intended to be prescriptiv
