Predicting aircraft Take-Off Weight (TOW) has been a long-sought task by aviation stakeholders, especially for operational and regulatory bodies involved in flight planning. Unfortunately, TOW being a sensitive parameter to operational trends and cost indices, aircraft operators tend to keep it confidential. In recent years, Machine Learning (ML...

To verify the aircraft position provided by Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)<br/>transponders, multilateration (MLAT) technique incorporates time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements at multiple ground-based receivers to estimate the corresponding distances between those and the aircraft. This approach requires precise...

With its 500.000 flights per year, Schiphol Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe. Efficient runway use is vital for a smooth day-to-day operation. This paper investigates the new runway scheduler at Schiphol Airport, also referred to as the Departure Manager (DMAN). The new DMAN is built for a better utilisation of the outbound...

The usage of drones in urban environments is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. To ensure the safe operations of drones, conflict detection and resolution are vital. Currently, a lot of research has gone into state-based CD&amp;R, which has proven effective in unconstrained airspace but suffers from a large number of false positive...

The application of automatic speech recognition in the air traffic control domain has been researched extensively. However, its primary application remains in the training and simulation of air traffic controllers. This is due to the insufficient performance of automatic speech recognition in specific environments, such as air traffic control,...

The emissions of the transport sector inside the EU-27 have risen by 33 % between 1990 and 2019. A modal shift from unsustainable transport towards more environmentally friendly transport modes can be taken as one solution to mitigate the overall emission of the transport sector. In this paper, multiple open-source models and databases are...

Air Traffic Control (ATC) is tasked with ensuring safe separation between aircraft in a given Controlled Traffic Region (CTR). To achieve this an Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) verbally gives clearances using over the air communication. These clearances are kept track of by the ATCo using so-called ‘flight-strips’, which in modern systems are...

Passenger transportation in Europe is often duplicated using modes of transportation which are environmentally inefficient. Quantifying the carbon dioxide emission inefficiencies of flights versus transit is beneficial to understand the potential savings of a modal shift. In this paper, we analyze the emissions in Europe from multi-stop flights...

Charting hyperlocal wind using a drone is a challenge of increased attention as it unlocks potential in a variety of fields. In context of the METeo Sensors In the Sky project, this study proposes a method to estimate the magnitude and direction of wind using a quadcopter in hover and cruise without a dedicated wind sensor. Only on-board sensors...

Wind estimation plays an important role in many aspects of our world, both for nowcasting and forecasting. This is also true for aircraft flight routes; where wind field knowledge can contribute to flight planning and safety. Aircraft can relay flight information back to ground-based receivers, from which local wind measurements can be derived....

The aviation industry faces the challenge of reducing its climate eects. This paper aims to determine whether optimizing flight trajectories can reduce the environmental impact of aircraft during the climb and descent phases. It addresses the research gap in sustainable flight trajectory optimization by combining state-of-the-art research on...

Rodriguez Plaza, Eneko (author)
The expected growth of civil air traffic and the inclusion of advanced systems in the Royal Netherlands Air Force result in more demanding airspace requirements across all users, making this a scarce resource. To optimise its usage, military airspaces in Amsterdam Flight Information Region are used as Flexible Use of...

The consumer drone sector is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. In Europe alone, it is predicted that in excess of seven million such machines will be flying by 2050. This poses a risk of conflict in dense airspaces, with both aircraft and other drones. Such a growing market provides a need to make drones visible to ATC and other...

Urbanization is a worldwide trend that drives an immense increase in air traffic demand. The worldwide aviation network makes global business possible which generates economic growth, creates jobs and facilitates international tourism and trade. Many of the world's transport hubs like The Greater London Area have allocated this demand over...

In an effort to increase the operational efficiency in the North Atlantic region, the benefits of a decentralized, wind-optimal routing structure are researched. Such a routing structure allows for direct routing by optimizing trajectories on the individual level. Implementing a tactical conflict detection and resolution method eliminates the...

Current estimates show that the presence of unmanned aviation is likely to grow exponentially over the course of the next decades. Even with the more conservative estimates, these expected high traffic densities require a re-evaluation of the airspace structure to ensure safe and efficient operations. One structure that scored high on both the...

Aviation has a negative impact on the environment. As the number of flights is expected to increase, the total environmental impact of aviation will continue to worsen. New solutions are required to mitigate these effects. Aircraft Trajectory Optimization For Environmental Impact (TOFEI) can help reduce the impact of aircraft pollutants while...

Overkamp, Jean-Luc (author)
Accurate 4D trajectory predictions are required for the implementation of Trajectory Based Operations. In addition, decentralized, free routing can make medium- to long-term flight trajectories more difficult to predict. Novel trajectory prediction techniques are needed, independent of waypoint-to-waypoint navigation and air traffic control...
