Marinescu, M. (author), Olivares, Alberto (author), Staffetti, Ernesto (author), Sun, Junzi (author)This paper addresses the problem of spatiotemporal wind velocity field estimation for air traffic management applications. Using data obtained from aircraft, the eastward and northward components of the wind velocity field inside a specific air space are calculated as functions of time.

Sun, Junzi (author)Trajectory optimization has been an active area of research for air transport studies for several decades. But almost all flight optimizers proposed in the literature remain close-sourced, which presents a major disadvantage for the advancement of scientific research. This optimization depends on aircraft performance models, emission models, and...journal article 2022

YANG, X. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) is a surveillance technology that is used extensively in Air Traffic Control (ATC) applications. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B transponders actively broadcast navigation information such as position, altitude, and velocity, and thus ATC is able to track aircraft continuously, even in regions...conference paper 2022

Marinescu, Marius (author), Olivares, Alberto (author), Staffetti, Ernesto (author), Sun, Junzi (author)This work addresses the problem of vertical wind profile online estimation at a given location. Specifically, the north and east components of the wind are continuously estimated as functions of time and altitude at two waypoints used for landing on the Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas airport. A continuous nowcast of the wind profile is...journal article 2022

Domingos de Azevedo Quadros, F. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Aviation is a growing source of atmospheric emissions impacting the Earth’s climate and air quality. Comprehensive assessments of the environmental impact of this industry require up-to-date, spatially resolved, and speciated emissions inventories. We develop and evaluate the first such estimate of global emissions from aircraft operations for...journal article 2022

Strohmeier, Martin (author), Olive, Xavier (author), Sun, Junzi (author)The usage of large private and business jets, from those owned by Elon Musk to Kylie Jenner and Bernard Arnault, has recently attracted considerable attention in many countries. Enabled by open and crowdsourced aircraft tracking systems based on the automatic dependent surveillance–broadcast protocol, the aircraft and their owners have been...journal article 2022

Sun, Junzi (author), Olive, Xavier (author), Strohmeier, Martin (author)Civil aviation contributes to rising global greenhouse gas emissions. Flights carried out by private and business jets are only a very small fraction of commercial passenger flights. However, these private flights are extremely environmentally inefficient and account for the most emissions per passenger in the aviation sector. While the...journal article 2022

Sun, Junzi (author), Basora, Luis (author), Olive, Xavier (author), Strohmeier, Martin (author), Schafer, Matthias (author), Martinovic, Ivan (author), Lenders, Vincent (author)The environmental impact of aviation has become the focus of increased concerns for policymakers around the world. The recent pandemic provided many interesting case studies on the impact of aviation on the environment. Following the initial COVID-19 containment measures and hard lockdowns, the sharp decrease in aircraft movements caused a...conference paper 2022

Sun, Junzi (author), Olive, Xavier (author), Delahaye, Daniel (author)Inefficiencies in flight operations, like deviations and non-optimal flight speed or altitude, are directly linked to flight emission inefficiencies. Quantifying these emission inefficiencies and studying potential mitigation strategies is certainly beneficial for the sustainability of the aviation industry. In this paper, we analyze emission...conference paper 2022

Vlaskin, A. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)The consumer drone sector is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. In Europe alone, some predictions show as many as seven million drones will be flying by 2050. This poses a challenge for surveillance. In this paper, we study an Automatic Dependent Surveillance system concept similar to the one for current aircraft surveillance, which...conference paper 2022
