IST Project: AIRNET AIRNET Prof. Augusto Casaca, Development Unit Coordinator of INESC-ID, Portugal
IST Project: ISMAEL ISMAEL Intelligent Surveillance and Management functions for Airfield applications based on Low cost magnetic field detectors Key facts Duration: 36 months Budget: 3,7 Mio Project coordinator: Saarland University, Institute of Experimental Physics
IST Project: ISMAEL Solution Detecting ferromagnetic objects (e.g. vehicle motors, aircraft components) Based on interaction with earth s magnetic field, acting as a biasing magnet Distinguish between different types of aircraft and vehicles based on magnetic signature Detector monitors magnetic field in 3 dimensions via 3 channels Installation of detector at any location (e.g existing ground lighting) Magnetic Profile of Aircraft Airfield Ground Lighting Detector
IST Project: ISMAEL Applications Airport Surveillance Runway Incursion Taxiway Detector Light Magnetic Field Detector Gate Management
IST Project: ISMAEL Conclusion Field trials with the sensors in Saarbrücken, Thessaloniki and Frankfurt are very promising Further enhancements can be achieved based on research results ISMAEL aims to provide an airfield surveillance solution for smaller airports as well as for special applications at big hubs ISMAEL could serve as a backup system for safety critical areas like stop bars
ATC - Wake Integrated Air Traffic Control Wake Vortex Safety and Capacity System Lennaert Speijker, nlr- national aerospace laboratory speijker@nlr.nl http://www.nlr.nl/public/hosted-sites/atc-wake
ATC Wake: Main Goal To develop and build an integrated Air Traffic Control wake vortex safety and capacity platform and to use it to assess the interoperability with existing ATC systems to assess the safety and capacity improvements obtained to evaluate the operational usability & acceptability of ATC- Wake to draft a Technology Implementation Plan (TIP) to guide the local installation to facilitate dynamic and weather dependent aircraft separation
ATC Wake: holistic approach Establishment of ATC Wake integrated platform plus : Wake Vortex induced risk assessment Quantitative assessment of the ATC-Wake operation indicative aircraft separation per crosswind interval ATC Wake HMI experiments with European controllers
ATC Wake: conclusions Project established confidence in the concept of reduced separations ( via feasibiltiy analysis, safety and capacity studies, close contact to users) The reduced Wake Vortex separation, targeted with crosswind, is 2,5 Nm separation between aircraft on same final approach path 90 seconds between all aircraft departing on the same runway. Improved runway throughput and reduced delays with ATC Wake: Predicted delay in 2015 (without ATC-Wake ) : 6 minutes per flight With ATC-Wake, this delay is reduced by : 11% (with a capacity increase of 5%) 22% (with a capacity increase of 10%)
Safe Airport Development of an innovative acoustic system for the improvement of cooperative air traffic management. The system is based on two passive phased array microphone antennas capable of discovering and tracking aeroplanes up to at least six nautical miles in air and ground.
Beyond FP6 FP7 IST? FP7 Thematic Area Transport (including Aeronautics) SESAR - Joint undertaking of industry and EC to modernise European Air Traffic Control Infrastructure
Beyond FP6: FP7 Transport / Activities Aeronautics and air transport The greening of air transport: Increasing time efficiency: improvement of the efficiency of operating schedules focusing on innovative air traffic management systems in line with the effective implementation of Single Sky policy which integrate air, ground and space components, including traffic flow and more aircraft autonomy. Ensuring customer satisfaction and safety: improvement of passenger comfort, innovative in-flight services and more efficient passenger handling; improvement of all safety aspects of air transport; wider choice of aircraft ranging from wide body to smaller size vehicles suitable for different applications. Improving cost efficiency Protection of aircraft and passengers Pioneering the air transport of the future
