SESAR2020 PJ07-W2 OAUO Optimised Airspace Users Operations

Project description

Continuously tweaking flight trajectory could relieve airspace and airport congestion

More and more people are now routinely flying for pleasure and for business. In addition, increasing globalisation comes with more and more cargo taking flight. Current air traffic management is still very manual, based on pre-submitted flight plans and occasional interventions by air traffic controllers as a flight is in progress. The ability to monitor and control flight paths continuously throughout a flight could significantly enhance efficiency, optimising the use of airspace and airport infrastructure. Trajectory-based operations (TBOs) do just that, relying on synchronisation and information exchange together with air traffic control automation. The EU-funded SESAR2020 PJ07-W2 OAUO Optimised Airspace Users Operations project is supporting the transition to TBOs within the EU to ensure the friendly skies remain friendly.

Objective

The PJ07-W2 Optimised Airspace Users Operations (OAUO) aims at defining and validating improved Airspace Users processes and tools related to their interaction with the ATM Network Operations in SESAR 2020. The current ATM environment based on static flight plans is evolving through SESAR towards Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) in order to improve Airports and ATM Network performance.

PJ07-W2 shall develop and validate the following SESAR Solutions:
• Solution PJ.07-W2-38 Enhanced integration of AU trajectory definition and network management processes
• Solution PJ.07-W2-39 Collaborative framework managing delay constraints on arrivals
• Solution PJ.07-W2-40 Mission trajectories management with integrated Dynamic Mobile Areas (DMA) Type 1 and Type 2
• Solution PJ.07-W2-38.1 Agreed trajectory revisions in execution

PJ07-W2 addresses the following objectives:
• develop requirements and validate procedures and workflows for Flight/Wing Operations Centre to interact with ATM stakeholders and especially with the Network Management Function (NMF), with regard to trajectory definition, and to ensure continuity in the Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) process throughout the trajectory life-cycle
• smoothly integrate AU Priorities and Preferences in collaborative processes at Airports and in Network Demand Capacity Balancing (DCB) processes, allowing those processes to perform multi-criteria optimization tasks involving many stakeholders
• develop high level of automation to reduce the need for Airspace Users and flow managers to intervene through intensive coordination, which is critical for integrated processes to work on an operational scale
• improve the interoperability between AUs and the NMF Operations
• allow AU Flight Operations to provide the ATM NMF with the most accurate input on the true demand at any time (at planning phase)
• get from NMF an improved, harmonised picture of the ATM constraints for evaluating their impact on operations
• refine and validate the Mission Trajectory and the DMA concepts
