Wind Profile Estimation from Aircraft Derived Data Using Kalman Filters and Gaussian Process Regression

Accurate wind information is crucial in air traffic management, for instance, to improve trajectory predictability and precision in controlled time of arrival. Nowadays, air traffic management relies on Numerical Weather Prediction, which usually has a low resolution and low update rate. A potential approach for improving the resolution and...

Computational assessment of different air-ground function allocations

NextGen and SESAR are re-defining each agent's role in the airspace in terms of autonomy, authority and responsibility. Function allocation is the process of defining authority, i.e., which functions are executed by which agents. This is an essential design decision in creating transformative ATM concepts of operation. This paper presents a...

Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation of Trajectory Based Operations under Very High Traffic Demand

Emergent Behaviour of Trajectory Based Operations Under Very High En-route Traffic Demand

Effective collaboration between planning controller, tactical controller and pilots in handling various uncertainties and hazards is the result of decades of evolutionary development. The forthcoming paradigm shift to Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) requires a similarly effective collaboration between the TBO layer and a tactical layer....
