The following tasks were performed from the beginning to the end of the 4. reporting period and the following main results were achieved:
WP4 – T4.2 this task aims at reinforcing the solutions issued from PARTAKE mitigation tool towards small uncertainties. To this goal, the mitigation tool will be tested by either focusing on the densest areas, or by removing from the problem the most constrained aircraft, that will have to be handle by different procedures.
WP5 – T5.1 this task aims as assessing the cost incurred by PARTAKE tools on airspace users, and compare those costs to the current situation. This comparison relies on delay cost and fuel cost assessments based on literature and simulations with air traffic controllers. T5.2 The Constraint Programming model from WP4 will be enhanced to tackle with multiobjective optimization.
WP6 – T6.2 this task includes a set of validation tasks. First, it is carried out fast simulation exercises, that compare baseline situations (w/o PARTAKE) with ideal PARTAKE scenarios in order to demonstrate the features, flexibility and capabilities of the software developed. Secondly, it is carried out a main simulation exercise considering the human-in-the-loop and the most relevant uncertainties detected during the project development.
WP7 – addresses the communication, dissemination and exploitation issues of the project. T7.1 concerns the dissemination and communication strategy. T7.2 focused on the maintenance of the project website. T7.3 planning of dissemination events for awareness raising. T7.4 Exploitation Activities focus on defining a common path to exploits the most relevant outcomes beyond the project lifetime. The exploitation plan is based on analysis of the market and the project results.
WP8 – The PM guaranteed an efficient and pro-active coordination of the project by administration, organization, and monitoring of the administrative and financial components of the project.
WP9 – Constant compliance with the 'ethics requirements' was ensured based on the guidelines developed in D9.1,9.2 and 9.3.
Summary of achieved main results:
- PARTAKE toolchain can be made robust towards many sources of uncertainties by using it within a feedback loop that captures the dynamic evolution of the traffic.
- Engagement of ATC’s and pilots in a simulation exercise to identify the main enablers and barriers for PARTAKE acceptability.
- Review, implementation and test of many search strategies to enhance the computational performance of the mitigation module.
-Validation exercises have been organized, set-up and performed at the Aerospace Integration Research Centre (AIRC) at Cranfield University.
- Planning, organization and execution of the final PARTAKE close-out meeting at SJU
- Maintenance of the Project Website (www.partake-aero.eu) involvement of the Advisory Board and establishment of a Newsletter and organization of the proof-of-concept workshop with the stakeholders.
- Project Management guidance and ethics requirements assurance, especially in the validation exercises.
A detailed description of the exploitation and dissemination activities can be found in D8.2.
