Detect current traffic hotspots and increase the airspace management efficiency
Airside and groundside scenarios under the concept of current or future operation using fast-time simulation techniques.
Fast-time simulation offers a cost-effective means of quantifying and evaluating system reliability and performance. Its primary objective is to support high-level decision-making related to system changes or the introduction of new procedures and technologies. To address these needs, a broad range of current and future air traffic management (ATM) concepts are modelled, generating analytical results within short timeframes. This approach reduces data preparation effort and allows more time for in-depth comparative analysis.
By comparing outcomes across multiple simulation scenarios, relative changes in system performance can be assessed, providing valuable insight into the effects and behaviour of ATM planning and organisational initiatives. These analyses can range from high-level, system-wide perspectives to detailed, scenario-specific evaluations. Simulation scenarios may combine overarching system behaviour with highly specialised operational rules tailored to specific regions or areas of interest.
Airside
Airside
For Airside, we simulate runway-to-runway scenarios, where the primary functionality includes:
- 4D Flight Trajectory Calculation, including Great Circle and speed/altitude restrictions
- 3D Sectorisation
- 4D Spatial Conflict Detection
- Multiple Separation Strategies (e.g. controllers, equipment, dynamic situations, etc.)
- 4D Resolution Manoeuvring (for enroute delay)
- TMA (arr/dep sequencing, SIDS/STARS, Holdstacks, vectoring on approach, etc.
- Dynamic Task Assignment
- Runway scheduling and runway usage conflicts
- Weather (wind effects on airborne aircraft performance)
- Editor and display environment in standard MS Windows look-and-feel
- Animated simulation graphics and replay mode
- Benefits of NexGen and SESAR implementations
- Propose alternative sectorisation
- Measure controller workload
- Measure airspace and conflict complexity/density
- Measure airspace safety in relation to separation violations
- Impacts of free-routing or RVSM concepts
- Impact of the ATM system on fuelburn
- Unlimited views of ATM concepts
Groundside
Groundside
Groundside simulates airport operations from the gate to SIDS & STARS, where features include:
- Gate allocation by airline/aircraft model
- Shortest path taxi routes
- Taxi link speed and separations
- Taxi links by arrival/departure, airline, and aircraft model
- TMA (arr/dep sequencing, SIDS/STARS, Holdstacks, vectoring on approach, etc.
- 4D Resolution Manoeuvring (for TMA approach)
- Runway scheduling and runway usage conflicts
- Runway accel/decel rates by aircraft model
- Runway hi-speed exits (by aircraft model/type/airline)/
- Runway back-tracking
- Runway blocking other runways when in use
- Running crossing for taxiing aircraft
- Animated simulation graphics
- Delay reports by unlimited criteria (e.g. airline, gate(s), runway, departure queue…
- Propose alternate runway configurations, including new or closed runways
- Measuring runway demands and operations
- Measuring ground delay, for example, by taxi times, airlines, arr/dep, average flight delay, etc.
- Proposing taxiway configurations
- Using Both Domains Together: Gate-to-Gate
- The Airside and Groundside share much of the same data, and co-exist in the same environment.
